## Resource

Our speaker is Henry Olsen who is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Henry studies American politics with a focus on populism. I want to learn from Henry about why Trump is successful with his non-traditional and outrageous speaking style. No other world leader talks like Trump with the use of threats and hyperbole. Is that going to change if there is a perception that it is successful? I want to find out if Henry thinks that we should expect other politicians to mimic Trump’s methods in social media and public speaking in the 2028 presidential campaign.
