Abstract

Društvene mreže postale su platforma za svakodnevno objavljivanje sadržaja i komunikaciju korisnika. Cilj ovog rada bio je analizirati poruke odaslane kroz službeni profil Donalda Trumpa na društvenim mrežama, a poglavito na Twitteru u razdoblju a koje su vezane uz geopolitički diskurs gradnje zida s Meksikom. Kroz metodu analize sadržaja istražena je dinamika Trumpove komunikacije u toku američkih 1.2.2016 do 8.11.2016, odnosno od službenog početka nominacija, pa sve do dana predsjedničkih izbora 2016. godine. U tom s vremenskom razdoblju analizirane glavne karakteristike komunikacije Trmpovog predizbornog programa vezanog uz gradnju zida. U svojoj predsjedničkoj kampanji Donald Trump je kao jedno od najvažnijih obećanja imao gradnju zida koji bi po njegovom mišljenju spriječio negativne ekonomske, gospodarske i društvene posljedice za Sjedinjene Američke Države. Uz analizu sadržaja društvenih mreža, autorica u ovom radu objašnjava geopolitički, ekonomski i društveni kontekst gradnje zida te njegove implikacije na visoko isprepletena i međuovisna gospodarstva Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i Meksika.

Social networks have become a platform for daily content sharing and user communication. The purpose of this thesis was to analyze messages transmitted through the official profile Donald Trump's profile on social networks related to the geopolitical discourse of wall construction on the border with Mexico. This topic was analyzed through the content analysis method and the dynamics of Trump's communication during the US presidential elections from 1.2.2016 to 8.11.2016; ie. from the official start of the nomination, until the day of the presidential election. In this thesis and research, the main features and content of Trump's communication related to the wall on social networks were analyzed. Building the wall between Mexico and the United States was one of the most important Trump pre-election promises, which in his opinion will prevent the negative economic and social consequences for the United States. With the content analysis of social networks, the author explains the geopolitical, economic and social context of the wall construction and its implications for the highly intertwined and interdependent economies of the United States and Mexico.
