Abstract
Douglas Kellner bietet einen so panoramischen wie engagierten Blick auf den Werdegang Trumps und die Mittel, die Trump dabei jeweils verwandte und verwendet hat. Identifikationsmechanismen, wie sie die Untersuchungen des autoritären Charakters bloßlegten und diverse von denselben Autoren analysierte und systematisierte Strategien, diese Mechanismen zu bedienen, nutzt Kellner dabei als Folie dieser umfangreichen Revue.
