美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在最近举行的G7峰会上发表讲话，邀请与会领导人在迈阿密附近的多拉乡村俱乐部（Doral country club）举行明年的会议，他将其描述为梦幻般的“宏伟建筑”，“拥有佛罗里达州最大、最好的舞厅”。这是特朗普在公众场合叙事方式的又一例证，这一方式已经持续发展近50年。
人们能够通过在数字新闻源（如谷歌Ngrams）中搜索特朗普的名字，观察到这一趋势。他的叙事方式不像传染病那样蔓延得很快，但长期以来始终在不断发展，直到他统治美国的公共话语到了难以置信的地步。
特朗普的聪明之处，在于始终追求塑造具有持续感染力的叙事方式特征：展现魅力、让自己身边环绕貌美且崇拜自己的女人、并保持拥有巨大影响力的形象。
We hope you're enjoying Project Syndicate.
