Over the past four years, American politics have been consumed and subsumed by one man: Donald Trump. Since his election in 2016, Trump\\u2019s disregard for convention has upended the norms of the U.S. presidency and undermined the separation of powers on which America\\u2019s constitutional system depends. His iconoclastic approach to foreign policy has further frayed the global order the U.S. has historically used to advance its interests, while raising questions about America\\u2019s commitment and dependability as an ally. Long-standing political partisanship and divisions within the U.S. have become particularly acute in the runup to next week\\u2019s election, amid heightened anxiety over the potential for tampering and manipulation of the outcome.

In today\\u2019s big picture Trend Lines interview, Edward Luce joins WPR\\u2019s editor-in-chief, Judah Grunstein, to discuss the impact of Trump\\u2019s four years in office, the atmosphere surrounding next week\\u2019s election and what\\u2019s at stake for America and the world. Luce is a columnist and the U.S. national editor for the Financial Times, and has long been a highly regarded observer of American politics, which he has been covering for FT since 2006.
