USA - a country, current processes, as well as domestic political and foreign policy activity in which one way or another affect the entire modern world. And a number of widespread factors played a significant role in the ascent of Trump to the top of the US political arena. What are these factors? This is an epidemic of extreme and even extremist forms of pluralism, multiculturalism, politicians of identity and political correctness, struck by nihilism and narcissism. The allergic reaction of society to these manifestations also affected.
