This handbook, designed for sociologists, political scientists and historians, offers a compelling examination of the American presidency through the framework of sociological theory.Through a premiere collection of scholarly essays, this volume addresses the “crisis of democracy” in the United States, emphasizing the importance of ethical, evidence-based leadership, highlighting the social turbulence during the Trump administration that is marked by an increase in hate crimes and a decline in civil discourse that many attribute to Trump’s divisive rhetoric. By merging sociological insights with an analysis of Trump’s political behavior, the text deepens the understanding of the presidency and its societal implications as it meticulously examines how social dynamics—such as class, race, and gender—shape policies, public perception, and the legacy of presidents. The narrative critiques the evolving societal expectations and cultural norms that impact the officeholder's actions, alongside the media’s role in shaping public opinion, challenging readers to view the presidency not as a singular entity but as a reflection of the collective consciousness of the nation.Detailing key themes that include authoritarianism, nativist-populism, ethnonationalism, and social psychology, this book provides a fresh perspective on political leadership and sparks discussions about the complexities of the presidential role in a changing society, serving as an essential academic tool in understanding the intersection of politics and society.
