Abstract
Language plays a pivotal role in constructing identity and ideology. It shapes the people’s ideas and beliefs about specific perspectives. This research is mainly concerned with constructed ideologies through discourse. The present study is based on the book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” written by Michael Wolff. The approach for present research is qualitative in nature and for analysis; different extracts are taken from the book. It adopts Fairclough’s (1992) three-dimensional model for analysis which includes textual, discursive practice and social practice analyses. The study reveals that a constructed ideology of Trump is portrayed in this book, in which, he is presented as ineligible and unfit person for the post of president of United States. Thus, in conclusion, the value of discourse in conveying the specific ideology cannot be underestimated.

Discourse is a written and spoken form of text which is practiced because of specific ideologies and there is no neutral language (Fairclough, 1995). “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” is written by Michael Wolff. This book is divided into twenty-two chapters in which different events are described especially Trump’s conversation with his senior staff Wolff claims that he has more than two hundred interviews with Trump before the publication of his book. Lee (1992) states a “language is an instrument for the phenomena of human experience to conceptual categories It is clearly, not a mirror that reflects reality. Steger and Paul (2013) define ideology as a set of shared ideas or belief. They explain that ideology gave a vision which is followed by society and groups intentionally and unintentionally. As Machin and Mayr (2012) explain ideology gives the world view and is practiced by societies. Van Dijk (1998) describes ideology as a science of ideas
