Popis: The rhetoric President Trump utilizes when discussing women contains ideology opposed to political correctness, and through mediums of influence like Twitter, it impacts others’ ideologies and has the potential to manifest in action. This report addresses the question,“What ideologies and rhetoric do President Trump represent in his discourse surrounding women and political correctness and to what extent do his supporters parallel his ideologies and rhetoric?” Thematic analysis of the President’s comments on Twitter and in the media regarding women, as well as tweets from his supporters, demonstrated recurring themes of neoliberalism and neosexism in both data sets. Supporters paralleled the President’s ideologies and to a lesser extent his rhetoric. Such ideologies may result in policies that are not beneficial for women.
