This article aims to review a fundamental study by Russian authors of the causes, course and consequences of the 45th US President's stay in the White House. His cadence turned out to be unique in modern American history: two impeachment procedures, several massive explosions of interethnic riots, and finally the storming of the Capitol. This is him – a businessman with dubious success, a showman, and ultimately – the first person of America. The president is called "on intuition", "non-systemic" – without experience in government structures. However, he was quite successful in deepening the political and ideological divide in his country. And today, almost a year later, those Americans who voted for D. Trump on November 3, 2020 continue to speak of him in positive tones, and the rest – a little more than half of the total number of those who cast their votes – do it in sharply negative manner. The period of the 45th president's stay in the White House requires comprehensive understanding.
