A critical discourse analysis of trump's presidential racism

Abstract EN

This paper is a critical discourse analysis of Trump's racism that has increasingly pervaded his presidency.

It focuses on the words, terms and expressions that Trump uses on different occasions to smear people of color, immigrants and refugees as a strategy of spreading his ideology of white supremacy.

The current study aims at exploring the racist terms that Trump increasingly embraces and the impact they have on minorities, on the one hand, and on the American society in general, on the other hand.

According to the collected data and the analysis, Trump's racism is generally addressed against Latino, Hispanic, refugees, black, Asian, Arab and Muslims, though they are today part and parcel of the contemporary American community.

The findings of this study show that racism is practiced today in the United Stated by the highest authority- i.

e.

President Trump- in a country, which always proclaims that racism is part of the American past and all Americans are equal regardless of their identity, race, religion, and color.
