Review "With the help of unique perspectives from across the world, Kamalipour weaves a powerful narrative on how President Trump's distorted vision of the US and its policies has fragmented America and added to global insecurity. Providing a kaleidoscope of different shades of the American image in the rest of the world under Trump's presidency, the book is a must-read for both the scholars and practitioners of media, international relations, politics, culture, law, and psychology." --Fazal M. Malik, Dean of Humanities, Arts and Applied Sciences, Amity University Dubai "Yahya Kamalipour has brought together a host of international media scholars who reveal how the Trump brand has changed the image of American in the world today. Through scholarly discourse and analysis, the contributors to this powerful book begin by outlining the American perception of itself and its place in the world--and how everything changed when Donald J. Trump became a presidential candidate. From there, we are transported around the world to see, on the ground, how just a few years of Trump's leadership radically changed the world's view of the United States." --Phillip Auter, Hubert Bourgeois Endowed Professor of Communication, University of Louisiana at Lafayette About the Author A noted global media and communication scholar, Dr. Yahya R.
