Trumpism is a term for the political ideology, style of governance, political movement and set of mechanisms for acquiring and keeping power that are associated with Donald Trump, and his political base. Though Trumpism is sufficiently complex to overwhelm any single framework of analysis, it has been called an American political variant of the far-right and of the national-populist and neo-nationalist sentiment seen in multiple nations worldwide from the late 2010s to the early 2020s. Some have deemed Trumpism as akin to fascism. Most historians argue that this is an inaccurate use of the term, pointing out that while there are parallels there are also important dissimilarities. The label "Trumpism" has been applied to conservative–nationalist and national–populist movements in other Western democracies.
