The article critiques Donald Trump's first hundred days in office, highlighting how he has demoralized citizens invested in liberal democracy. Unlike past presidents who effectively navigated crises, Trump's reign was characterized by impulsiveness and egocentrism, as he continuously undermined democratic values, civil rights, and alliances while fostering an illiberal agenda. His chaotic style, punctuated by notable early actions such as travel bans and confrontations with allies, reveals a presidency more focused on spectacle than substance. The turbulence of his first term seems a mere rehearsal for his attempts to establish authoritarian control.
Trump's first term was marked by demoralization and the undermining of democratic principles, contrasting sharply with the disciplined leadership demonstrated by past presidents during crises.
Rather than unite the country, Trump's impulsive and egocentric behavior reflected a commitment to an illiberal agenda and a disregard for the integrity of his office.
