I am no fan of Donald Trump who is bad news for the Republican Party (and US politics more generally) so I hesitate to give his candidacy any more attention. He is entertaining, however, and I thought I'd post this content analysis of his tweets below as a pedagogical example of how one goes about conducting content/discourse analysis, and in particular, gauging "tone" (something I also do for my own research on Congressional statements on the North Korean regime).

Content Analysis of Donald Trump Tweets

Some interesting things there, but another thing. What I found today, after reviewing the real Donald Trump, his most famous twitter account, was that it was all good (I am easily impressed?) until you trace to the source. Then the cohesion just totally falls apart. It is quite well put together, in other words. Even highly intriguing and a very good experience, even entertaining. The problem is when you go to the source article (for example, one article was in "National Interest" magazine). Then there is no more continuity.
