Writer Salman Rushdie, 76, has expressed fears that Donald Trump’s second term as US president could be worse than his first. “I think the impact would be very big and very negative,” Rushdie said during a roundtable discussion in London, which he attended online. But he is optimistic and believes Trump will not win.
However, he also believed that when Trump stood up to Hillary Clinton. He was wrong then, so you shouldn’t trust him.
Rushdie: “All he talks about is revenge”
“I think he would be worse the second time around because he would be unleashed and vengeful,” Rushdie said. “All he talks about is revenge.” This is a bad political program and not what you would expect from the person in the White House.
Author calls on young people to vote
In New York, people knew him long before Trump ran. “Everyone knew he was an idiot and a liar,” Rushdie said. Unfortunately, America had to learn the hard way. “I just hope they don’t fall for it again.” Rushdie called on young people to vote in the US presidential elections in November. You shouldn’t make the mistake of not voting. “Because otherwise you will regret it for the next four years.”
During the conversation in London’s Southbank Center, Rushdie presented his new book “Knife”, in which he deals with an attack on him and its consequences. A man seriously injured the author at an event in the US in 2022.
