As Trump leans on the Madman Theory and Manifest Destiny to reshape US power, America confronts mounting debt, global pushback and a rapidly shifting economic order
Since January 20, 2025, when Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the richest democracy of the world that will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, he has been following two controversial doctrines to 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA).
The first one the Madman Theory - was proposed by Niccolò Machiavelli (1517), who argued that sometimes it was "a very wise thing to simulate madness". The second one is the theory of 'Manifest Destiny' - the 19th-century doctrine or belief that the expansion of the U.S. throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable.
MADMAN THEORY (UNPREDICTABLE DOCTRINE)
Political scientists argue that the Madman Theory (Unpredictable Doctrine) is a doctrine in which a world leader seeks to persuade his adversary that he is temperamentally capable of anything to extract concessions. Trump believes this strategy is paying dividends, getting the US' allies where he wants them. Contrary to his expectation, this controversial doctrine is not working for Trump.
