This paper examines the power of a mediatized President to use reflexive propaganda—the rules and assumptions of digital media—to define a public health crisis. During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, President Trump engaged in attention-based politics, or the use of media to draw attention of the largest audience to himself, at the expense of an efficient response to a major public health crisis. The repetitive tweets, with a common form—vulgar and combative language, usually against journalists—converted Donald Trump into a digital meme and enabled the President to dwell on his distorted accomplishments and TV ratings, to downplay health risks, and initially define the lethal virus as a benign hoax.

特朗普时代的流行病:数字媒体逻辑和致命的政治

本文考察了媒体化总统使用自反性宣传(数字媒体的规则和假设)来定义公共卫生危机的能力。在 2020 年冠状病毒大流行期间,特朗普总统参与了基于注意力的政治活动,或利用媒体来吸引最多观众的注意力,以牺牲对重大公共卫生危机的有效应对为代价。重复的推文,以一种常见的形式——粗俗和好斗的语言,通常是针对记者的——将唐纳德特朗普变成了一个数字模因,并使总统能够专注于他扭曲的成就和电视收视率,淡化健康风险,并初步定义了致命病毒作为一个良性的骗局。
