Independent from Britain in 1776, the United States wrote the world’s oldest written national constitution, expanded across the continent and fought a civil war over slavery. It emerged as the leading global power after 1945 and is deeply polarized today. Donald Trump returned to the presidency in 2025 with an America First agenda.
Its current leader’s position on the ten Caucus dimensions.
Campaigns on “America First,” with tariffs, tighter immigration limits, tax cuts and deregulation, and has repeatedly tested the boundaries of executive power.
Donald Trump sits in the right-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: leaning free market and strongly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly nationalist on nation, strongly growth-first on environment and strongly anti-establishment on institutions.

Caucus is free, has no ads and collects nothing about you. If it helped you learn something, you can chip in with crypto.
Our goal is simple: to help people understand politics, not just react to it. Democracies work better when citizens can tell a policy from a slogan, know where leaders actually stand and are able to meet ideas they disagree with. Political literacy is what protects us from manipulation and polarization, and it is the first step to taking part in public life. Caucus turns ten dimensions, hundreds of leaders and thinkers and every country's political history into something you can explore in minutes, and keeps it free and private for everyone. Your donation keeps it independent, ad-free and growing.
