How Trump’s Fast, Spectacular Moves Shape Modern Politics

Source: Giuliano da Empoli: ‘The key to Trump’s success is moving fast and spectacularly, even when he contradicts himself’ (2025-11-27)

In a recent discussion at the World In Progress forum, Italian thinker Giuliano da Empoli analyzed the strategic brilliance behind Donald Trump’s political success, emphasizing his ability to move swiftly and spectacularly, even when contradicting himself. Da Empoli warns that this approach, combined with the collusion between authoritarian populists and tech giants, threatens the foundations of liberal democracy. He highlights that social media and digital ecosystems have become dominant forces, shaping public discourse and empowering unscrupulous leaders like Trump. Since the original article, recent developments include the rise of AI-driven misinformation campaigns, increased regulation of social media platforms in the EU, the emergence of new populist leaders in Latin America, the growing influence of digital propaganda in elections worldwide, and the expansion of tech companies’ lobbying efforts to influence policy. Additionally, global efforts are underway to combat digital disinformation, with international coalitions advocating for stricter transparency and accountability measures. The convergence of political populism and tech dominance is accelerating, with recent polls indicating a surge in support for anti-establishment parties across Europe and Asia. As democracies grapple with these challenges, experts emphasize the importance of digital literacy, regulatory reforms, and renewed civic engagement to safeguard democratic values in the digital age. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for citizens and policymakers alike to navigate the evolving landscape of global politics and technology.
