De-Trumpification
De-Trumpification or detrumpification refers to the proposed process of addressing, mitigating and dismantling the political, social, and cultural influences associated with Trumpism, the political movement in the United States associated with President Donald Trump. The term draws inspiration from denazification, the post-World War II initiative aimed at purging Nazi ideology from German society. Supporters argue it is a necessary step to restore democratic norms, accountability, and societal cohesion in the wake of Trump's presidency.[1][2]

The term "De-Trumpification" was used already during Donald Trump's 2016 campaign in discussion of how businesses were distancing themselves from his brand in response to the divisive rhetoric and polarizing nature of his presidential campaign.[3] The political concept of de-Trumpification then emerged during Trump's first presidency, particularly in discussions about the long-term impacts of his leadership style and policies on American society. After he took office commentators highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to address the divisive and authoritarian tendencies that became prominent during this period.[4] For example, in 2018 Michelle Goldberg argued in The New York Times that "if we expect America to ever again be more than a squalid kleptocracy, we’re going to need a comprehensive plan of de-Trumpification, including wide-ranging investigations and legal reforms."[5] Chris Stevenson argued that "a 'de-Trumpification' process will have to course through the Republican Party’s veins if it is to again be a worthy part of the American experiment in self-government."[6]
