Donald Trump

The 45th and 47th US President became the most polarising political figure of the 21st century — impeached twice, convicted of 34 felony counts, and yet elected to a second non-consecutive term in 2024. His presidency redefined the Republican Party, shattered norms around presidential conduct, and culminated in the January 6th Capitol breach. Whether viewed as a populist champion of the forgotten or a threat to democratic institutions, Trump reshaped American politics in ways that will be debated for generations.
