An Analysis of Leadership and Political Scandals under the Trump Administration: 2017 - 2021
Mouhamed DIOP
Abstract: The United States presidency has faced several turbulent periods. It has never been immune to scandals and other political vices like any other governments in the world. From simple accusations to impeachment, the White House has experienced domestic and foreign turmoil that almost caused it to crumble. But these scandals are minor in comparison to the series of slurs and behavior obscenities that prevailed on the American political sphere from 2017 to 2021. Being the most powerful country in the world, the US presidential elections attract attention. When the Americans elected a controversial media personality and businessman who campaigned for a "great America" as their 45th president, the world's leading nation appeared to lose its statesmanship. This paper analyzes the political leadership of Donald Trump during his presidency from 2017 to 2021, focusing on the vulgarity, inelegance, cupidity, and extravagance (V. I. C. E.) that marked his administration. It highlights key scandals and political challenges that influenced domestic and international perceptions of the United States, revisiting past presidential scandals to provide context. The study concludes with an exploration of the lasting impact of Trump's leadership on political maturity in the United States.
