The causes of the acute information warfare in the US elections in 2016: the second wave of the global crisis, the deadlock in the economy and the split of elites

The second wave of economic crisis is developing in the US economy. The group led by Donald Trump advocated a protectionist policy. This slogan has consolidated wider social strata. As a result, Trump won the US presidential elections. However, this victory was not an easy achievement. Trump had to deal with an intensive informational attack, organised in the interest of US financial elite in order to maintain the established economic course.
