A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Statements‘ Under Control’ to the ‘Declaration of the War’: An Insight into Donald Trump’s Covid-19Political Rhetoric

Abstract

The Novel Coronavirus, or Covid-19 has been creating a chaotic, distressed, frustrating and turbulent situation around the globe ever since its emergence in China in December 2019. The moment it emerged, there also appeared various conspiracy theories in the surroundings which started initially from the U.S. President Donald Trump. Trumps’ political ideology has been creating severe and devastating effects everywhere in the U.S in multiple fronts in the past too.. His political stance—while blaming China, the Democrats, and news agencies—has badly affected the U.S. citizens who were living without any precautionary measures under the Trump’s illusion of ‘under control’ till he made the announcement that it had to be dealt like a war. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) considers political discourse to be a certain political agenda as per Van Dijk’s perspective. Trump has been noticed more worried about the upcoming elections than the careful dealing with the pandemic. In the same political dialectics, this study explores and explains several ideological aspects which Mr. Trump made use of in order to maintain an upper hand in terms of politics via employing Van Dijk’s model of political discourse.
