Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present Donald Trump’s climate denialism as an example of political post-truth, where the facts are of less importance than referring to emotions and personal convictions. Trump’s convictions on ‘global warming’, particularly in their media popularization, played a key role in the production and distribution of political discourse by the former American president and the way he expressed his power. The research perspective is essentially developed on the basis of critical discourse analysis.
