Donald Trump, love him or loathe him; there’s no denying he has taken American politics and served it with a twist of theatrics. He is breaking every unwritten rule in the book. With the 2024 election on the horizon and his legal woes mounting; the stakes have never been higher for him and America.
One undeniable lesson from Trump’s meteoric rise is the power of disruption. By refusing to conform; he highlighted just how disconnected mainstream politics has become. Trump took to the political stage and ran with it, becoming a cultural force rather than just a politician.
The novelty of Trump’s approach also comes with serious consequences. His ongoing criminal investigations, ranging from financial wrongdoings to accusations of election tampering. Can a democracy truly thrive?
If Trump fails to secure the presidency in 2024, the personal fallout could be unprecedented. Without the shield of office; Trump could face prison time; financial penalties and an end to his political legacy.
