| Annotation | The article deals with the study of the speech portrait of the forty-fifth US President Donald Trump. The article is conducted at the intersection of the study of D. Trump’s linguistic personality, as well as the study of his linguistic portrait from the standpoint of political linguistics. A figurative description of a personality makes it possible to reveal its characteristic features and to create a mental associative picture of a politician in the mass consciousness. A conceptual analysis of D. Trump’s contexts is used аs an additional method. The politician considers it necessary to use self-presentation strategies that allow him to construct a positive vision and a sense of unity with the audience. It was for this purpose that The Trump Organization was created, in which ideologues, media representatives, speechwriters and image-makers work for D. Trump. Trump’s figure as an odious, controversial politician is known for his provocative harsh statements, he became a media person in 1968 thanks to his participation in various TV shows, which is of interest for exploring ways to create a politician’s speech portrait. The linguistic assessment of D. Trump’s tweets was made using the methods of cognitive analysis and discourse analysis, by sampling of 75 quotes for the period of November-December 2018. |
