Penelitian ini fokus pada dominasi ujaran Trump yang memiliki makna tutur representatif dan ekspresif negatif. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, penulis menerapkan teori tindak tutur oleh Yule dan teori bahasa dan kekuasaan dari Fairclough, untuk menganalisis dominasi berdasarkan isi, relasi, dan pokok pembicaraan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dalam dominasi ujaran Trump terdapat tiga data representatif negatif dengan fungsi menyombongkan hasil kinerja saat menangani pandemi dan dua data ekspresif negatif yang juga memiliki fungsi tuturan menyombongkan diri dan mengasihani ketidaktahuan Biden tentang beberapa situasi covid-19 di tahun 2020.
