A1 - Langman, Lauren T1 - Erich Fromm and Contemporary American Politics JF - Free Associations - Psychoanalysis and Culture, Media, Groups, Politics, No. 73, September 2018, pp. 7-22. N2 - Donald Trump and his followers who never waiver stand at 41.5% of the US population (Fivethirtyeight.com), the embodiment of a lust for power and fame and the minions who crave fulfillment through his arrogant and belligerent antics.
