The review analyzes the article of the British professor of Westminster University Christian Fuchs "Authoritarian capitalism, authoritarian movements and authoritarian communication", which proposes to use the critical theory of authoritarianism as a s cientific approach to study the phenomenon of Donald Trump. The choice of this approach is due to insufficient theoretical elaboration and ambiguity of the concept of populism, which, in the opinion of the author, makes it difficult to study trumpism as a new political phenomenon.
