In a recent interview on France Inter, UCLA historian Laure Murat expressed serious concerns about the political landscape in the United States after Donald Trump’s election. With the Senate now under Republican control, Murat fears Trump will dominate the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, leading to potential abuses of power. She highlighted Trump’s influence over the Supreme Court and the possibility of appointing numerous federal judges. Murat compared Trump’s rhetoric to that of authoritarian leaders, expressing her intent to leave the U.S. after twenty years due to the current political climate.
