Trump's America

President Donald Trump gave his State of the Union speech on Feb. 6, 2019. The photo above is a word cloud composed of Trump's most used words throughout the speech. As you can see, the most popular word from his address was "American" followed by one, United, States, Congress, and border. When compared to former U.S. President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address, these words show quite a difference. I have included Obama's word cloud below as reference.

As you can see in this cloud to the left, the most popular words also include America. However, we also we jobs, new, work, help, and people. I think this stark contrast in word clouds shows this different goals of each president. Trump is more concerned about the country's image. Obama is more concerned about the people in the country.

Word clouds are an interesting way to dissect different topics and narrow things down. They can be utilized by businesses to ask customers their opinion on the business, what is good or what can be worked on. They can also be used internally, asking employees their thoughts on the business. Another way that businesses can use word clouds is when updating the company's website or key words that you will want to begin targeting. It can show if your company is using too much of one word that may not be the best way to define yourself, or a word that is hiding in the back that could be a strong contender for the organization's new image. Word clouds can be used in a variety of ways by a variety of organizations, company's or people themselves.
