Summary/Abstract |
The most serious test for any U.S. president is reducing global nuclear dangers. For decades, Republican and Democratic leaders have negotiated agreements to limit and cut nuclear arsenals, worked to curb the spread of nuclear weapons, and sought to reduce the risk of miscalculation and catastrophe.

Summary/Abstract |
IN LIGHT OF his immense constitutional authority and the post he holds in the structure of the American government, the personality of any U.S. president has always been considered exceptionally important, even if it does not entirely correspond to the high moral and political criteria the voters - and moreover, the international community - attribute to him. The President of the United States is both head of the Federal government and commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces. In addition to being the country's top government official, he is also head of one of its two leading political parties, with enormous responsibilities for taking political and moral action on behalf of the entire nation - and the world community as well.

Summary/Abstract |
This article uses a large-n dataset to investigate the effect of terrorist attacks with American victims on the popularity of the U.S. president. The study uses two broad theoretical frameworks to analyze this effect, the score-keeping framework and the rally-effect framework. The findings of the study show that, when excluding the effect from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, actual terrorist attacks have no generalizable short-term impact on the popularity of the U.S. president. This indicates that even though the topics of national security, terrorism, and the president’s ability to handle these issues are important in the political debate in the United States, actual terrorism has little or no short-term impact on presidential approval ratings.

Summary/Abstract |
Donald Trump is an unlikely populist [1]. The Republican nominee for U.S. president inherited a fortune, boasts about his wealth and his many properties, shuttles between his exclusive resorts and luxury hotels, and has adopted an economic plan [2] that would, among other things, slash tax rates for rich people like himself. But a politician does not have to live among people of modest means, or even tout policies that would boost their incomes, to articulate their grievances and gain their support. Win or lose, Trump has tapped into a deep vein of distress and resentment among millions of white working- and middle-class Americans.
