Reviews
“Ouyang and Waterman have crafted a fascinating book that examines the Twitter-verse of Donald Trump. More importantly, their well-written effort challenges many of our assumptions about modern presidential rhetoric studies. They put forth the concept of ‘going directly public’ (GDP) which looks at how a president engages the public and uses media power to shift the political system.”
