• Resumen

  • This study explores the discourse of Donald Trump as a businessman and as a president regarding the topics of immigration and economy. Data for this research were gathered from four speeches and four interviews delivered by Trump in the eighties-nineties, that is, as a businessman and four speeches and four interviews after being elected president of the United States. The analysis focuses on the way self/other-representation and mystification strategies are combined with conceptual metaphors in the construction of ideological discourse. The period in which the discourse happened seems to have a strong bearing on the discursive strategies employed by Trump.
