50 days of Trump’s presidency: “shock tactics” as a leadership style suited to the challenges of our time

On March 4, 2025, Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address to Congress, in which he outlined the successes of his first weeks in office and formulated the main directions of his administration

The central topic of the speech was the White House‘s economic policy and further plans to introduce trade tariffs, which Trump uses to combat competing economic dynamics

However, the tariff initiatives that Trump’s team is implementing in a raid mode are intended to overcome the foreign trade deficit and act as a tool to bring about a managed supercorrection.
