Specifically, Talking to Oneself. A Semiotic Analysis of Donald Trump’s Hair Style invites the reader to consider Trump’s hairstyle first and foremost as an idiolect, an individual language, or rather a linguistic system of a community that is unique to every single speaker, and that on a metasemiotic level can be considered a form of self-presentation autism."
