Description The present study examines one of the most followed Twitter accounts - official account of Donald Trump, arguably the highest representative of the United States at the moment. Looking through the lens of critical discourse analysis, particularly by applying concepts developed by Wodak & Reisigl (2001) and Teun van Dijk (2000), the paper tries to explore what kinds of discursive and other (e.g. visual and stylistic) devices Donald Trump employs for the purposes of negotiating American identity. Also, it inspects whether he uses this channel as a political platform in order to articulate the national agenda.
