“Trump is better prepared this time”

This was one of the key messages delivered by US expert Prof. Stephan Bierling at the BayBG Entrepreneur Event on November 7, 2024, where he analyzed the outcome of the US presidential election. In his keynote, he highlighted the growing polarization in the United States, its potential impact on democratic structures, and the economic implications. The discussion that followed was equally dynamic and engaging.

Bierling outlined a comprehensive policy agenda which, compared to Donald Trump’s first election victory, appears to be significantly more detailed. One central aspect discussed was the potential consolidation of power within the presidency, including greater influence over federal agencies and ministries, which could put pressure on the long-established system of checks and balances.
