Authoritarian Heritage of Puritanism in Donald Trump's America

Abstract

This research depicts the puritan heritage within today’s American culture the most mediatised and criticisedmen in America within these last years; Donald Trump, relying on the Evangelical branch, which permitted him to the road to the White House. This paper explores the hidden influence of the Puritan ethic in Trump’s mentality, the roots of his nativist immigration plan and his specific relations with the nation of Israel within his four years in office. In addition to exploring the Puritan Heritage surrounding Trump, we want this work to provide another image of the President that we do not hear about in the News.
