Trump Twitterverse - The Campaign – An Unauthorized Record is the seminal historic record of the candidate and subsequent President elect’s use of Twitter in unprecedented ways and with never seen before effectiveness. While at times using very provocative language (which has been the subject of much debate from both sides of the political aisle), Mr. Trump’s ability to use the platform to persuade and reach a mass audience in an immediate manner has been of no debate. The 2016 United States quadrennial Presidential election was remarkable in its embrace of technology. While candidates had previously used emerging social networking platforms, none used social networking so pervasively and effectively as Donald J. Trump used Twitter and Facebook. Twitter became the candidate and subsequent President-elect’s mode of choice for his approach to circumventing traditional modes of communication and media outlets. The book is an historic archive of the period of time from Mr. Trump’s announcement of his candidacy for President on June 16, 2015 up until Inauguration Day. It contains indexing of policy topics as well as the twitter handles for those Mr. Trump chose to retweet during the Presidential campaign.
