Donald Trump's sociopolitical strategy mirrors reality television's "destroy to rebuild" trope. Influenced by "The Apprentice," he cultivated an "America's Boss" persona. His "destruction" phase involves undermining institutions and using divisive rhetoric to create perceived crises. This justifies his "rebuilding" vision, centered on loyalty and centralized power. The strategy leverages learned helplessness and cognitive dissonance in the electorate, amplifying public receptivity. This approach erodes institutional trust, deepens polarization, and increases vulnerability to authoritarian appeals, suggesting a calculated, performative strategy.
