CORE SUBJECT

Political communication and economic challenges of Donald Trump

Political communication experts have long observed that Trumpism is a stripped-down and disjointed language that finds its effectiveness in repetition. One of the American president's favorite words is "hoax." Russian interference benefiting him in the 2016 presidential campaign was labeled a "hoax" by Donald Trump, thus minimizing the impact and seriousness of the accusations. This communication strategy, based on simplification and repetition, allowed Trump to mobilize a loyal electoral base despite controversies. However, today he faces new challenges: the rising cost of living and internal divisions within the Republican Party, which weaken his political position. These internal tensions manifest as rivalries between different factions of the party, some seeking to distance themselves from Trumpist influence, while others remain loyalists. The difficult economic context, marked by inflation and rising prices, also weighs on the popularity of Trump and his allies, making the political situation more complex for the former president to manage.
