According to Machiavelli, Donald Trump is a good leader, he follows the sentiment that; "one should rather be feared than loved". Trump has some of the characteristics that Machiavelli thought were needed in order for a ruler to be considered tough enough.
Just like Machiavelli said, subjects are naturally well disposed towards listening to an influential person; “Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.” Just like Machiavelli, trump dismisses the idea(s) of “political correctness”. Trump seems to be following one piece of critical advice from Machiavelli which is, “The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.”
