Palabras clave: discurso, elecciones, populismo, Twitter, Trump

Resumen

El artículo explica la narrativa discursiva utilizada por Donald Trump
durante las elecciones presidenciales de 2020 (desde el mes de febrero
hasta la ratificación de los resultados del 3 de noviembre por el Congreso
en enero de 2021) en torno a los temas que más le interesaban al
electorado estadounidense. Para ello, se caracterizó el contexto político,
económico, social y comunicacional en el que se produjo el discurso en
Twitter y se interpretó la narrativa discursiva del expresidente a través
de una muestra de 5053 tuits. Se concluyó que el discurso de Trump
fue populista, enfocado en la división, con enunciados positivos de su
gestión y una satanización permanente de Biden
