The Architecture of Trumpism: Charisma and the Hegemony of Power

This article analyzes the evolution of the American administration under Donald Trump's leadership, defining it as a system based on charisma and deliberate deinstitutionalization. The authors point to the 'hub and spoke' model, which concentrates decision-making processes in the hands of the leader, weakening traditional state structures. A key element of the new doctrine is 'autarkic hegemony,' in which tariffs become a geostrategic tool and international relations transform from enduring alliances to fluid contracts of utility. The text sheds light on the systemic reconstruction of the state, where chaos serves as a precise instrument of order, and the personalization of the executive leads to selective economic decoupling. This is an insightful look at the architecture of power, which combines the aesthetics of prestige with hard-line political economy, redefining the role of the United States in the global system.
