It probably is, given the type of characters proped up by the attention economy. China hasn't produced a Trump yet. Meanwhile the US has laid the foundation with the attention economy (that props up people with the largest view/retweet/like count) to produce an entire crop of Trump type "leaders" in every sphere of life from the corporate world, to the army, to academia, to the media etc etc. The ground has been prepared and the seeds have been planted. Look around. What is going to prevent their rise? Regulators? Zuckerberg?
