WOW Review | A deep dive into President Trump’s doublespeak and other rhetorical tricks washingtonpost.com/outlook/a-deep… #DemagogueForPresident
"it deserves a place alongside George Orwell’s “Politics and the English Language” and Harry G. Frankfurt’s “On Bulls---.” It’s a brilliant dissertation on Trump’s patented brand of balderdash. That makes it one of the most important political books of this perilous summer." WOW!
Thank you @Folly_and_Glory, I'm speechless.
Relevant to both Trump not accepting the results of the election & Roger Stone: Authoritarian voters pushed Trump to victory. Can they do it again? #DemagogueForPresident theguardian.com/us-news/2020/j…

New #DemagogueForPresident book excerpt out today! Opinion: The rhetorical genius of Donald Trump and the problem with labeling him a racist houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…
idk about "problem" in the headline, but Trump's use of paralipsis certainly makes it harder to label him a racist. 
Were Trump's July 4th celebration speeches racist? I explain how to answer that question in this piece.
I’ve got two #DemagogueForPresident talks in the next two days. Just made a “longer version” ppt & a “shorter version” ppt. At it.
Also, I wish news orgs would have little side bars that explain what fallacies/strategies Trump’s using in their video clips like I did in the second picture.
Was up really early to talk with the great folks at @TAMUQ. Thank you for inviting me!
Demagogue For President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump is finally OUT TODAY!
The "look inside" feature is activated on amazon, so you can finally read a preview and see the TOC and such. amazon.com/dp/1623499062/…
I mean, it wouldn't hurt anyone too much if #DemagogueForPresident trended or whatever, would it?
These are my author copies.
I'd like to give them away. Who should I send one to that needs to read it? (neighbor suggested I send one to @BarackObama because he reads a lot??).
Will send 10 copies to folks who reply to this tweet with nominations (including self) by Monday.

Thank you!
My book #DemagogueForPresident will be out in ONE MONTH. This is a mega-thread about my work on Trump's demagoguery over the past five years. amazon.com/dp/1623499062/…
First, I got into the Trump business because I was trying to finish an essay on demagogues I had started in 2009. I knew that there would be a "post-rhetorical" demagogue, but I didn't have a good example. Then, as @dsamuelsohn noted, "along came Trump." politico.com/magazine/story…
I was really psyched to be part of @patrickhealynyt & @maggieNYT's week-long analysis of Trump's rhetoric. Doing this basically changed my life: 95,000 Words, Many of Them Ominous, From Donald Trump’s Tongue nytimes.com/2015/12/06/us/…
I write about how Trump wields conspiracy to circulate rumors in my book--it's paralipsis (I'm not saying; I'm just saying). And, tbh, when it's about Ted Cruz it's kind of funny, but it's a pernicious strategy that allows Trump to increase distrust without being held accountable
You can order your copy of #DemagogueForPresident here (or your local or B&N). Out soon!
