As the Twitter president, Donald Trump has revolutionized how candidates and presidents interact with audiences domestically and globally. Michele Lockhart's edited volume answers the call for serious study of Trump's Twitter language and its impact, making President Donald Trump and His Political Discourse a timely addition to any classroom. -Shawn J. Parry-Giles, University of Maryland, USA If you're wondering how President Trump's churning tweets are utterly redefining American political rhetoric, then this collection provides a sufficient and necessary baseline where, as Yeats warned, the ceremony of innocence is drowned. While social media isn't always social, it's always rhetorical, and - for this attentive editor and these critically engaged scholars - strangely beautiful. -Hugh Burns, Texas Woman's University, USA
