Abstract

This article examines Donald Trump’s relationship with the media during his second presidential term, analysing inaugural rhetoric, public writings and media strategies to assess likely domestic and international implications. The author investigates how Trump’s priorities, authorship (notably Save America and Think As a Champion) and sustained media prominence shape narratives of national restoration, influence press norms of impartiality and neutrality, and affect small states such as Georgia. The research combines textual analysis of Trump’s publications with consideration of geopolitical signalling and media dynamics to evaluate continuities and shifts in his communicative approach and its prospective impact on global and local political landscapes.
