During President Donald Trump's second term's early days, he showcased an imperial image at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. His speech celebrated a 'golden age' he claimed to be ushering in, while the audience largely consisted of influential CEOs sympathetic to him. David Ignatius interpreted Trump's presence as that of a 21st-century emperor, underscoring the relationship between his administration and powerful corporate leaders. Agnès Callamard from Amnesty International expressed concerns about emerging global trends linked to Trump's approach and the resulting geopolitical obedience among world leaders.
Trump spoke almost like a 21st-century emperor announcing edicts to his newly conquered princes and satraps, embodying an imperial president with a symbolic backing.
Agnès Callamard noted several global trends emerging from Trump's presidency, including an obedience to the great new chief and a focus on geopolitical alignments.
