I’ve been concerned for some time about the “mind space” that our current president occupies.
If you’ve looked at the weekly summaries and noticed that his name, Trump, has occupied a commanding lead in the frequency of use for well over a year, you’ll see what I mean.
As a rough way of seeing what subjects might be excluded from our thoughts, I’ve divided this week's diaries into two groups based on whether the word Trump occurs in the title, the introductory text, or the body text. Word frequencies for the groups are shown in panels A and B.
Taking another step, I determined which words were used only “with Trump” (ie in diaries in which the word Trump appeared) and those used only “without Trump”. The counts of these words appear in panels C and D.
These are the top words associated with Trumpian mind share (occur more frequently in +Trump diaries): House, GOP, Republicans, Senate, Republican, President, Democrats, White, campaign, election, Obama, health, percent, Democratic, Medicaid, June, special, Clinton, news.
These are the top words associated with a non-Trumpian mind (appear more frequently in -Trump diaries) : time, life, women, Video, diary, YouTube, young, community, police, car, children, black, share, good, school, water, love, work, live, right.
Weary of the fight, I yearn to spend at least a little time in a non-Trumpian frame of mind: Share good school water! Love, work, live right!
