Case Study: The First 100 Days of Donald Trump’s 2nd Presidency
At Karl Bimshas Consulting, we believe leadership defines culture, and when we tolerate deception, we normalize it. In our latest evaluation, we applied the Leadership Scorecard to the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency, drawing from a detailed CNN fact-check of over 100 false claims.
Across five key leadership traits: Empathy, Curiosity, Situational Awareness, Education, and Stewardship, Trump scored a failing 25 out of 100. The findings reveal a pattern of willful misinformation, strategic division, and emotional manipulation that signals not just poor leadership, but anti-leadership: a deliberate rejection of truth, responsibility, and ethical service.
This isn’t just about one man; it’s about what we now accept as leadership. If we reward spectacle over substance and loyalty over accountability, we erode the standards that hold institutions and communities together. The full report dives deeper into these leadership failures and what they reveal about the state of governance today.
