"A great and beautiful wall"
Donald Trump's populist discourse on immigration
This paper focuses on Trump’s aggressive language on immigration. By analyzing a data set made of public speeches, interviews, and statements from Trump’s official website, the paper will look at how certain lexico-grammatical and intertextual choices in Trump’s representation of immigration display all the
typical features of a populist agenda. Trump’s texts will be analyzed according
to Wodak’s Discourse-Historical approach: Trump’s own “politics of fear” and
language on immigration are evidence of the strong currency held by values
associated with right-wing, ethno-nationalist populism, once the core ideological
tenets only of certain fringe movements such as the Tea Party, but now firmly
established in mainstream politics.
