Strategy International hosted a well-attended and highly engaged webinar, “The Legacy of a Disruptive Presidency: From Trump 1.0 to Trump 2.0,” bringing together the editors and contributing authors of the 2024 book The Legacy of the Trump Administration: A Disruptive Presidency for a presentation of its core findings and a live discussion connecting that retrospective analysis to the current moment.
The session drew 40 participants from across Strategy International’s international network and generated strong audience engagement, with a lively stream of questions submitted throughout the discussion, reflecting the depth of interest in understanding how the patterns of Trump’s first term are shaping the second.
The webinar was moderated by Emily K. Wallerstrom, Head of Public Affairs and Communication at Strategy International, and featured:
- Dr. Michael Grossman – Professor of International Affairs and National Security, University of Mount Union; Senior Scholar, Strategy International
- Eric Matthews– Associate Professor, Thiel College
- David B. Cohen, Ph.D. – Professor of Political Science, University of Akron
The discussion unfolded in three parts: a presentation of the book’s key findings from Trump’s first term, a case-study analysis of developments under the current administration, and a synthesis session connecting the original research to what is unfolding today. The session closed with an extended, audience-driven Q&A.
We thank our speakers and audience members for the success of the webinar.
