The Trump presidency was marked by a tendency to personalize conflicts, making disagreements and disputes highly individualistic. This approach often shifted the focus from issues and policies to personal attacks and rivalries, creating a volatile political atmosphere where relationships and character judgments became paramount.

In Michael Wolff's book, "Siege: Trump Under Fire," this aspect is explored in depth, illustrating how Trump's style influenced interactions with allies, opponents, and the media. The personalization of conflicts not only defined Trump's presidency but also reshaped the political landscape, making it difficult to address issues in a collaborative manner.
