How Did Donald Trump Use Twitter

In an age were social media sits at the forefront of global connectivity and communication, the political arena has never had been more exposed the unpredictable nature of public engagement and response. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the formality and ceremony of traditional political engagement has, to an extent, been abandoned. Throughout the course of the 2016 US presidential election, celebrities have used their status and personal platform to voice their stance in the debate and name their preferred candidate. This essay will explore: The current trends of celebrity rhetoric in the current campaign and how each respective party compares; how celebrity translates or carries authority and creditability in this arena; and how social media and digital platforms have been employed to share, spread and generate public debate based on this form of rhetoric. Therefore measuring the public response, success and criticism towards current celebrity endorsements.

    In today’s modern time, social media has a huge impact on political environment. How the World Changed Social Media claims, “ Such political activity as there is on social media is usually at a national level and is conducted mainly by supporters…” (Miller 142,143). Social media presents a national level bias. During the last ten years, politics has gained much traction on these sites.  For example, campaigns for national

How presidential candidates present themselves in the media can be proven to impact election results dramatically. Political figure using social media did not start to become more common until after the 2008 election because Twitter and Facebook were just recently created, but by looking at data from the past two elections it shows that the news presidential candidates put on their social media can correlate with how people will decide to vote. After researching what topics political candidates post and how they present themselves in the media with election results it can be established that a candidate’s presence in social media can have an impact on how people might vote in an election. “By 2008 candidate websites were standard and campaigns

While Damon Linker’s article, “Twitter is Destroying America” seems to be less effective than Parker’s, it still contains some powerful uses of the rhetorical devices. Like Parker, Linker establishes ethos by

The media has always played an important role in the President’s relationship with the public, but just what kind of affect does it really have on the executive office? The first televised presidential debate in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon marked the beginning of a new era – the inaugural shift of the media’s role in politics. Since that time, the media has continued to transform the way the president is perceived by the public through print, broadcast, and more recently, social media. All of said outlets have played vital roles in not only a president’s campaign, but also in their presidency and likability throughout their time in office. While the White House is still the source of most presidential news, the media are the shapers of the story and can frame it pretty much any way they want. There used to be limits on certain issues or realms of the presidency that were to remain untouched, however, first amendment freedoms take precedence over almost any restriction the government could try to place on the media. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the media and the president throughout recent years, looking briefly into the past to establish the scale of the dramatic change, and to study their reciprocal connection of how each utilizes the other.

“‘Tweet. Tweedle-lee-Dee’ (118 Character Left),” by Olivia Fletcher writes from the definition pattern of development. Fletcher’s thesis was, “Since those days, the tweet has morphed into a word whose meaning your great grandfather could have never imagined when he was listening to Day’s hit on Billboard’s Hot 100.” The author organizes her content into different segments; first she explains the history of the new definition of a tweet and she also compares Twitter and Facebook. Her next two paragraphs summarize the negative effects of tweeting, and these paragraphs also include a precis of a “Twitter war” between John Mayer and Perez Hilton. The last two paragraphs in the body discuss the positive effects of tweeting in schools. In the final

Credibility is important for networking with others. It demonstrates one can be trusted and without it many dangers are at stake. In the article “How America Is Losing the Credibility War” Antony J. Blinker offers his own insight on President Trump’s global relations. He reveals that Trump’s super ego and reckless tweeting is diminishing America’s credibility. His intentions of exposing domestic media for providing the public “fake news” can undoubtedly convince the people; causing them to protest. In addition, his careless tweets about countries whom we have growing tensions with, North Korea and Russia, can appear offensive to them ultimately triggering a war. Blinker believes Trump’s disruptive use of social media places the United States

Because his audience consists of individuals who are discontent with the way government affairs are conducted, they seem to appreciate the way Donald Trump boldly expresses his opinions and ideas with little filtration. By directly addressing the issues that anger people,

The president is perhaps the most visible arm of government to the American people. Through the drama of highly televised election campaigns and public speeches, the president is, for most people, the face of government. The president’s communication to the public is spotlighted and given much more attention than other public officials’, such as representatives or senators. Since the president receives more public attention than any other individual in government, it seems natural to analyze presidential rhetoric.

Pretty scary right? It’s amazing what you can do to a People magazine cover with a new Snapchat filter. As the 2016 presidential election looms, morale can tend to get dragged down as the candidates harp on the negative issues America faces. However, as a fan of John Oliver and his satirical humor, his Donald Drumpf skit resonated with me. It ignited an idea to utilize this humor and my own political views to make light of the gloomy outlook some can have on America with this Twitter Webcard and promotional campaign using the Twitter Ads feature:

In the writing by Briggs (Young People and Political Participation: Teen Players) she notes that “social media are a critical new space for political discourse and engagement, which political institutions cannot afford to neglect” as the younger audiences use social media, and the people they follow as a guide it seemed vital that modern day politics has to infiltrate social media formats. This can be utilised by politicians and their agenda to widen the scope of their message. In the Praeger Handbook of Political Campaigning in the United States, Benoit investigates how successful an organised strategy using new media to win an election can be for political candidates. He states that “the innovative use of new media contributed to President Barack Obama's presidential campaign win in 2008” (Benoit, 2016). Obama's presidential campaign was one of the first to set the standard for political strategy online. The literature talks about the expansion of the internet and how that has provided a suitable platform for political agendas to grow exponentially. With the focus of the research project highlighting the specific use of social media it is important to reflect on the initial stages of online political campaigning, and to understand how Trump has cultivated this style of political

Social media has grown at phenomenal rates over the past decade, with its rise being easily visible in several fields such as publishing, business, and activism, among others. The rise of its use in the field of politics is well known by those who are on and off social media, as a result of increasing number of politicians using this global platform to their maximum advantage.

Social media further dissolves borders between the uses of propaganda and public information to forward political-strategic goals. For companies, social media is a great way to promote their brand and their products and attract customers. For politicians the same is true, only in their case they are their own brand.
