• Trump, in his speech as the 47th president of the US, promises a radical change of the liberal democratic system.
• Trump portrays himself as a savior to stop the US's 'economic and international decline'.
• His speech carries a messianic, authoritarian, and nationalist tone.
• Aims to challenge the traditional rules of politics with the start of what he calls a 'new regime'.
• Immigration policy is tightened, declaring 'the national emergency on the southern border' with Mexico.
• Plans to reverse the Green Deal and decarbonization policies, and to restore wealth to the working class.
• Pledges to end 'woke' policies, limiting gender identity to male and female.
• Trump poses a challenge to the European Union that needs to strengthen its leadership and integration.
• Trump is not an accident but a result of widespread discontent, which is fueling radical parties.

Conclusion: Europe has a titanic responsibility in offering an alternative to authoritarian leadership styles like Trump's, without falling into identity political excesses.
