Donald Trump
Current president. Tax cuts and deregulation alongside tariffs, immigration restriction, and a personal executive style.
Donald Trump is on the world-leaders chart for United States, 2017–2021, 2025–. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Current president. Tax cuts and deregulation alongside tariffs, immigration restriction, and a personal executive style.
The dot is economics +22 and authority +62, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is right of center on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: A wall, tax cuts, no more endless wars, and America First trade. Done: Taxes were cut and tariffs went up. The wall was partial. The first term avoided a new large war; the second term is in progress and should not be scored as finished. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Viktor Orbán (Hungary, +18 / +64) and Otto von Bismarck (Germany, +12 / +54). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
