Dissecting the populist leadership style of President Donald Trump
Places Trump's presidential leadership style within a comparatively
historical and political development theoretical framework
Considers Trump's use of social media as a form of public politics
that represents an adaptation of presidential communication style
to new technology while rebuffing the traditional bully pulpit
Assesses the impact of Trump's negative rhetoric and efforts to
challenge if not delegitimize other national institutions (Courts,
Congress), question media truthfulness, and his personalization of
political opponents Employs case studies to weigh Trump's political
strategy, from mobilizing grassroots support to foreign diplomacy
This book evaluates the presidency of Donald Trump from a
comparative, historical approach to connect his populist style to
his predecessors. Trump's method of communication through social
media obviously differs from previous candidates and presidents
with populist platforms, but his themes - a disdain for elites,
grassroots support, majoritarianism, anti-intellectual discourse,
and nativism--borrow variably from such figures as Andrew Jackson,
Huey Long, Barry Goldwater, and Ross Perot. As such, Trump's
approach to governance falls within a long tradition of populism
dating to the 19th Century.
