Charismic Legitimacy In The Era Of Donald Trump

Abstract

Thoughts on the «charismatic features» of the new US president are a direct accusation of the American leader in the potentially authoritarian nature of his government. Meanwhile, Donald Trump does not show any desire to change the Constitution and violate the principle of «separation of powers». ax Weber by no means identified «charismatic» and «authoritarian». Moreover, Max Weber by no means identified «charismatic» and «authoritarian». The objective reality that lies behind these accusations is the desire of the American political establishment to guarantee itself against accidents connected with the outcome of any democratic elections. In essence, this is another form of manifestation of the contradiction between the global nature of the economy, the collective nature of the security system and the national character of democratic politics which is most likely to be resolved not in favor of the latter.
