As the United States prepares to invest its new president, Donald Trump seems more than ever absent from the top of the state. Several reasons explain it and among them: the impossibility of accepting defeat. Not without consequences.

Elected in 2016 to everyone's surprise, and perhaps even his own, Donald Trump is preparing to step down. The latest comments present him as wandering around a deserted White House like a defeated general. Only, the political troublemaker that he was and certainly will continue to be, does not seem to digest defeat.

But, in addition to joining the very closed club of presidents not reelected at the end of their mandate (Jimmy Carter swept away by the effects of the economic crisis of the mid-1970s and George Bush by the tornado Bill Clinton), Donald Trump today gives the feeling of nourishing a tenacious, almost incomprehensible resentment towards his adversary now called upon to govern. Even if it means defying the Constitution incapable of dealing with the present case.

Demonstration and Democracy

And it is clear that there are many questions that follow one another in the face of this attitude which is more of a personal cabal than a sense of the State, of political guerrilla warfare than of the general interest.

And if by this attitude, which questions beyond the borders of the first democracy in the world, Donald Trump did not demonstrate nakedly what his mandate was: a succession of jokes, whims, inconsistencies and contradictions which have often resulted in the slow discrediting of the State and the American Nation?

Isn't it fair to say, or at least to question the fact that Donald Trump's tenure has tarnished North American democracy more than it has grown it? Everyone will give their answer to this question in the light of their convictions, but it is also true that rarely in the history of the United States, an election will have been so scrutinized and followed around the world.

Beyond the character Donald Trump, the outgoing president has revealed himself as a subject of study for many political scientists who have sought, and will seek, to understand how this man was able to reach the supreme office.

Electoral Base and Charisma

So now the question arises: was Donald Trump an accident in history or the harbinger of a new political offer? A pragmatic analysis of the situation pushes to advance that Donald Trump was able to constitute in 2016 and 2020 an electoral base which could be useful for him or another Republican candidate.

So the thesis of the accident can evaporate by itself because even if key states have tipped over to the Democratic camp during the election, Joe Biden's victory is in no way overwhelming.

This revives the idea of ​​the presence of an electorate still loyal to the deposed president because the United States, an often Manichean nation, cannot be satisfied with neutral or flat politicians. It is in no way abusive to assert that Donald Trump knew how to use his charisma, his experience as businessmen and his often reductive speech to seduce an America in search of answers, answers and certainties. It remains to be seen whether in four years, he or another, will rely on this America.
