Trump Tweets, the World Reacts

Regina Luttrell is assistant professor of social media and public relations at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.

Donald Trump was a boundary-defying presidential candidate and continued to defy conventional norms early in his presidency. This collection of essays and studies assembled by Gina Luttrell helps us make sense of a changing political and journalistic environment in the Trump era, not only in the United States but overseas. From looking at how journalists have covered Trump to Trump's use of Twitter, this book offers vital insights and raises important questions about American politics as we know it and where we are going forward.
