From January 10 in bookstores the new edition of Gennaro Sangiuliano’s biography of Trump for Mondadori and the book in the Oscars Storia, a few days after the swearing-in, on January 20, and Donald Trump’s reinstatement in the White House.
Donald Trump’s political history has been truly extraordinary. After the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, many thought that his political career was over.
However, Trump managed to turn the tables, overcoming judicial investigations, trials and other challenges. Now, on January 20, 2025, Trump will return to the White House for his second term as president of the United States. His comeback was surprising and demonstrated his ability to maintain strong support within the Republican Party.
Time magazine has proclaimed Donald Trump as Person of the Year 2024. His political rebirth was truly extraordinary, comparable only to that of Grover Cleveland, who was the 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States. Cleveland was the only other president in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms.
Trump’s story is fascinating, from his German origins, to his emigrant grandfather, to his studies and his rise as an entrepreneur.
The narrative of Trump as a figure who has regenerated American patriotism is certainly a topic that has sparked much discussion. His ability to connect with ordinary people and represent their economic and social concerns was a key part of his political success. This phenomenon of division between the elite and the common population is not unique to the United States, but is present in many Western democracies.
Trump’s ability to overcome divisions and assert a sense of community has been seen by many as one of his main strengths. However, it is also a controversial topic, with very different opinions on how and whether this patriotism actually united or further divided the country.
Trump’s new presidency promises to be just as eventful and controversial as his first. With control of the Senate and House of Representatives, Trump has a strong position that allows him to advance his agenda with greater ease. His administration is characterized by an aggressive approach and a strong emphasis on the “Make America Great Again” movement.
Sangiuliano draws a detailed picture of Donald Trump’s life, highlighting his German roots, the path of his grandfather who emigrated to the United States and Trump’s education, who attended high-level schools. His success as an entrepreneur was a key element of his political rise.
Trump’s life is an example of how determination and ambition can lead to extraordinary results, both in business and politics. If you want to learn more about this amazing figure, you can explore further by reading Sangiuliano’s book.
The new book on Trump is really interesting. The author highlights how Trump’s re-election highlights the division between elites and ordinary people. This phenomenon is not unique to the United States, but it is present in many Western democracies. Trump has managed to regenerate American patriotism, overcoming divisions and affirming a sense of community.
Trump’s new presidency is truly unique. With control of the Senate and House of Representatives, Trump has a strong position that allows him to advance his agenda with greater ease. The “Make America Great Again” movement stands out for being a cohesive community around common ideals and goals, rather than a traditional party with complex superstructures.
