Then, answer the following questions: How does what we learned about Latin American caudillismo in the past help you understand the presidency of Donald Trump? In what ways is he like a caudillo? In what ways is he NOT like a caudillo? In what ways is the CONTEXT of caudillismo different when you’re talking about Latin America versus the United States, which have had very different histories? You MUST cite one of the present-day articles I provide, AND a primary source from the Module/historical topic it connects to. Do NOT do any outside research. Your essay should have an INTRODUCTION with a thesis statement that summarizes the overall argument that you will make in your essay. Then use each paragraph to explain your argument, and to provide evidence (from the articles and the readings from the module) to support your argument.
