U.S. President Donald Trump has now pledged an orderly transfer of power, but one can hardly find order in his legacy. With just seven days until president-elect Joe Biden is sworn in, the whole world is watching which direction the U.S. goes next. What does the uncertain process mean for the rest of the world? Mr. Kishore Mahbubani, distinguished fellow at the Asia Research Institute of the National University of Singapore, in an interview with Tian Wei, says the U.S. is a plutocracy, not a democracy
在本周美国众议院加紧弹劾特朗普之际，主持人对新加坡著名外交家、亚洲知名学者马凯硕（Mahbubani)进行了深度专访。马凯硕表示：“美国自由媒体整天攻击特朗普，其实是‘避重就轻’。因为美国国内巨大撕裂的根源，不是特朗普这个人，而是美国变成了‘富豪国家’，而不是其所说的‘民主国家’。
美国的利益已经被人口中最‘上层’的1%所绑架。
国内其他阶层没有任何获得感，甚至失落感不断。拜登上台后，可能在权衡利弊之下，决定进一步追究特朗普法律责任。但那也必定会引起特朗普支持者和同路者的巨大反弹与不满，届时美国的情况同样不可预测。”
