Abstract

New U.S. President Donald Trump has became the most popular figure in the World today. During election campaign, it had been claimed that Russia intervened into the election centers through cyber attacks. Russian cyber attacks have been perceived as one of the most important threats against American democracy and its existence. Cybersecurity has became the key critical component of USA national security policies. Some people argue that America has cybersecurity problem, as well as Trump problem. Trump considers media as the chief enemy and main opposition party. Although Trump detests media too much, he has spent his whole life with media. It is not exaggeration to say that Trump himself is a media production, nothing more. Media and Trump mutually feed each other. One cannot be thought without the other. Now, the world is learning US policy from Trum’s twitter account. Trump’s way is the way of cyber populism. Trump spreads his ideas through the utilizing cyber means. Trump appears to be a global cyber myth, rather than a real politic figure.
