OK, so Trump won the election and lots of what he’s said so far is terrifying. But, by nature, I’m an optimist and I still think there’s reason to be positive. If you look at the breakdown of voting patterns across the US, only 37 per cent of 18-29 year olds voted for Trump, compared with 53 per cent of those over the age of 45. And it’s the former age group that I believe offers us hope for the future.
That’s why, in this issue, we’ve decided to lead with three young American cover stars who we think provide a counterpoint to the isolationist, inward-looking mentality we’re often told defines the modern US.
