This book explores the presidential image of Donald Trump as it is
constructed by the media within American national mythology, precisely
the frontier myth. By offering an account of three milestones in the
development of the frontier mythology in its intersection with
presidential imagery, the book shows how the image of Donald Trump
fits into the line of "cowboy presidents," together with Theodore
Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. It also offers insights into the reasons
for making Russian president Vladimir Putin a part of Trump’s story
and a routinely mentioned figure in American presidential politics.
Applying the means of philosophical anthropology to this topical issue
at the intersection of politics and the media, this volume will appeal
to those working and studying in the areas of media studies, political
anthropology, American studies, and myth studies.
