Summary/Abstract: President Donald Trump is sometimes referred to as the New Prince in relation to Niccolò Machiavelli’s famous work „The Prince”. Certain traits and actions of Donald Trump, as well as his personality, seem to confirm the validity of such a formulation. However, it is based on the popular but distorted image of Machiavellianism, which assumes cunning and cynical conduct in politics. With a fair approach to the political thought of the Florentine, one can say that the vast majority of his thoughts, advice or tips for rulers are on polar opposites to the views and actions of Donald Trump.
