Duncan Watts notes that Trump's victory can be attributed to an anti-incumbent trend seen globally, where voters are discontent and vote out incumbents without clear reasoning.
According to Watts, 'the simplest explanation is that incumbents are losing elections worldwide, driven by voter frustration, not rooted in specific policies or ideologies.'
The U.S. economy's strong performance failed to translate into voter approval, leading to questions about how voters engaged with information and the election process.
Watts highlights a disconnect between objective economic metrics and voter sentiment, suggesting that discontentment and confusion influenced the election outcome despite economic success.
