2018 The year of the very stable genius - World Media Analysis

What happened in 2018 ? What do you remember about 2018 ? Analyzing over 2,000 press reports each month can help answer that question. But even with the assistance of advanced computer programs, how do you summarize a whole year with all that data ? How do you choose a succinct and meaningful title for this work ? Donald Trump, in his second year as President of the United States of America in 2018, provided us with a clear and concise answer to this last question by declaring publicly on two separate occasions in 2018 that he was a "very stable genius".
Yes indeed, 2018 was the year of the "very stable genius" and it's presented and analyzed here month by month, chapter by chapter, using both our computer method of analysis by co-occurrence of key words in press reports and by human expert analysis of the same data set provided by a thoroughly representative sampling system of the international media in English. Each chapter covers a month and includes an overall strategic diagram with its specific thematic clusters of key words and associated typical or representative media reports and word counts.
And Yes, the key word "Trump" was at the top of each month's word count, 12 out of 12. Quite a record which clearly characterizes the year 2018.
