EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  • Taking stock of the four years of the Trump Administration in the U.S. is useful not only to understand more about the future of that country, but also to have models and examples (both positive and negative) that can also be applied to the Italian Right.
  • Trumpism is a uniquely American form of populism, which stems from the crisis of globalization and intends to create a nationalist and interclass agenda.
  • Even with its undoubted limitations, Trumpism is not an inherently authoritarian phenomenon and leaves a significant political legacy.
  • Trumpism's main limitation has been that it has not created a political culture to adequately influence public opinion and thus proceed to build a new establishment.
