The Unorthodox Presidency of Donald J. Trump explores the myriad
ways in which candidate, and then president, Trump exemplifies a
nontraditional version of US politics. As a candidate he eschewed
the norms of campaign procedure, and, in the worst cases, human
decency, in favor of a rough-and-tumble, take-no-prisoners approach
that appealed to those who felt marginalized in a changing society.
Though the constitutional design of the presidency has seen
political outsiders rise to the office of the presidency before and
maintain stability, never before has a candidate so alien to
political norms risen to the highest office. The presidency of
Donald Trump represents the most significant challenge in the
history of the United States to whether the constitutional design
and boundaries on the office of the presidency can survive the test
of an occupant who is antithetical to everything in its past. The
editors and their contributors highlight how Trump's actions
present direct challenges to the US presidency that have fully
exposed and exacerbated long-held problems with checks and balances
and led to questions regarding the potential for permanent effects
of the Trump presidency on the Oval Office. The Unorthodox
Presidency of Donald J. Trump is organized into three sections. The
first section analyzes the Trump presidency in the context of US
elections, including Trump as a candidate, the 2016 presidential
election, the 2018 midterm elections, and the right-wing populism
that helped him get elected. The second section focuses on the how
the election results and the associated political context have
affected President Trump's opportunity to govern and the effect
Trump has had on US political institutions: the legislative branch,
the federal courts, the bureaucracy, the media, and organized
interest groups. The final section examines Trump and public
policy, with a focus on his disruptive version of foreign policy
and his use of the domestic budget as a political football, such as
the constitutionally questionable sequestration and redirection of
budgetary funds provided for defense to the building of the border
wall and his penchant for deficit spending that was kicked into
overdrive with the COVID-19 stimulus package, making Trump the
greatest deficit spender in the history of the republic.
