Neste ensaio, considero a vitória eleitoral de Donald Trump – como aconteceu? – e o Trumpismo como movimento – o que isso significa? Minhas preocupações são filosóficas e apartidárias, mas são motivadas pelo compromisso com o constitucionalismo liberal como forma de governo e o liberalismo como credo político. Descrevo pela primeira vez em termos neutros e retoricamente moderados como Donald Trump venceu a eleição presidencial americana de 2016. Esta descrição é granular. Então, na segunda metade do ensaio, eu medito mais abstratamente sobre o Trumpismo como um movimento político e um movimento de ideias. Descrevo primeiro como o populismo em geral, e o Trumpismo em particular, é uma resposta política a uma crise de representação democrática impulsionada pela globalização. Em seguida, voltando-me para a filosofia, apresento argumentos sobre a natureza da comunidade política, feita pelo teórico do direito antiliberal alemão Carl Schmitt, cuja obra ressoa fortemente em aspectos da política interna e externa do presidente Trump. Concluo com algumas reflexões sobre o significado do Trumpismo para o futuro do liberalismo.
