| Abstract This paper analyzes the United States President Donald Trump's rhetoric following the African American George Floyd's killing by a white policeman in U. S. A . The type of discourse is political and the aim is to investigate the strategies followed by Trump through language over the months of May and June , 2020. The eclectic method of analysis, adapted here from Grice's implicature (1975), Van Dijk (2003) among others' strategies, tests the theory against the data represented by Trump's statements, replies, press conferences, tweets, and announcements throughout the period of fury. Following Fairclough (1992), Cook (2011), Fowler (1996), Trump's language is discursively examined and ideologically and critically analyzed with the major purpose of social change and accepting the other. The study concluded with the fact that needs and predicaments could have been resolved except that President Donald Trump could not observe discursive strategies and could not manage to understand the other . | ||||
