Abstract
ABSTRACT Before his permanent suspension from Twitter, former President Trump’s use of Twitter to harm, harass, hurt, or embarrass individuals was well documented, with academics and mainstream news outlets referring to him as a cyberbully. The current study reports a quantitative content analysis of Trump’s Tweets between 2016 and 2019 to determine whether his aggressive behavior online could be considered cyberbullying. Additionally, this study also sought to ascertain Trump’s most frequently used cyberbullying tactics. The results highlight that although Trump frequently employed explicit hostility, name-calling, and rumor-mongering, his behavior on Twitter was not repetitive enough to meet the criteria that researchers often use to define cyberbullying.
