Much ink has been spilled describing Donald Trump as a disruptor, but this label fails to capture the depth of transformation he represents. Trump is not merely disrupting the system; he seeks to replace it. Surrounded by a cadre of fellow revolutionaries, he aims to delegitimize the current political order, invoking existential urgency rather than procedural correction. This is not about restoring the republic; it is about redefining it. Understanding Trump as a revolutionary clarifies the stakes: we are witnessing the construction of an entirely different political order, executed from within. Will we recognize the revolution before it is complete?
