How Trump’s Rapid, 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’ (2025-11-28)

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 efforts by the European Union targeting Big Tech, the emergence of new populist leaders in Latin America, the global push for digital sovereignty, and the growing influence of social media algorithms in elections worldwide. These factors underscore the urgent need for Europe and other democracies to challenge monopolistic tech power and safeguard democratic values. As political landscapes evolve, understanding the interplay between rapid political tactics, digital influence, and authoritarian tendencies is crucial for fostering resilient democracies in 2025 and beyond.
