摘要
ObjectivesIn this article, we examine whether former President Trump utilized Twitter to craft a narrative regarding international trade via his use of Twitter. MethodsWe examine Trump's language choices in a corpus of his tweets to compare his tone in trade-related tweets against his more general tweets during his presidency. ResultsWe find that Trump's trade tweets contain language that is more cognitively complex, masculine, and honest, compared to his non-trade-focused tweets. ConclusionThis study illustrates Trump's ability to craft and maintain a narrative about trade based on exaggeration and manipulations, in line with populist leadership theory.
