Has Trump taken leadership lessons from cold war-era Africa?
To truly understand the president’s style of rule, we must go beyond Scandinavian sagas and Sicilian crime loreEver since Donald Trump returned to power, pundits have struggled to find apt analogies for his style of governance. Some liken his loyalty demands, patronage networks and intimidation tactics to the methods of a mafia don. Others cast him as a feudal overlord, operating a personality cult rooted in charisma and bound by oaths, rewards and threats rather than laws and institutions. A growing number of artists and AI creatives are depicting him as a Viking warrior.
