The election of Donald Trump has both shocked - and divided - the libertarian and objectivist community. His election reflects a tangled web of factors - his personality, the state of mainstream politics, people's feelings about race and culture. Even hard data paints a confusing and contradictory picture.

Yaron Brook, himself horrified by Trump's victory, explains his reaction from a uniquely philosophical perspective and describe how best to analyse events of this kind. What matters most? Image or Policy? Does Trump's success reflect the decline of America or symbolise it?
