Analysis Of Donald Trump 's ' Make America Great Again '

Donald John Trump is currently one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States in the 2016 election. He is having no trouble winning numerous state caucuses and is currently the leading candidate with the most delegates among his republican peers. In the media, he is a candidate that seems to have the most air time compared to all of his contenders; his saturated exposure can be considered one of the major contributor to his rising popularity. Trump delivers simple but effective rhetoric about tax cuts for the rich as well as the poor, anti-free trade, tough immigration reform, Nationalism, and other topics that naturally draw in support from the average right-winged conservative individual. His crazy

On June 16, 2015 Donald J. Trump announced his candidacy for the president of the United States at Trump Tower in New York with the slogan, “Make America Great Again!” His announcement was taken with mixed reviews, many viewing his candidacy as another celebrity running for publicity without any real standing. He was compared to the likes of: Clint Eastwood, Clay Aiken, and rapper Waka Flocka Flame. What many of these celebrities have in common is their lack of success in the political field. Their run for candidacy was ripe with jokes and an understanding that they had no real chance of success. People knew that as a society celebrities had their place and it was not holding office; especially not the highest office in the nation. Celebrities

With the impending election looming closer and closer, the approach of the presidential throne seems to elicit a plethora of opinions on who is the most viable candidate. However, the candidate that has caused controversy at every angle possible is none other than Donald Trump. Famous for his extreme affluence and most notably his TV drama, The Apprentice, President-elect Donald Trump has integrated his unctuous persona into his campaign. The San Diego Union Tribune’s article on Donald Trump, “…Great Power and Greater Irresponsibility”, introduces us with the possibility that Donald Trump is not the “Make America Great American” man he claims to be, and in fact he is the exact opposite. While for some Americans, his aversion to political correctness is admirable and induces a strong support; many are adverse to his social conduct and view his idiosyncrasies polar to the fabric of the Constitution. The article brings forth a target audience of both non-supporters and supporters alike in grave attempt to eradicate this supposed allure of Trump.

With Trump’s election this year, his rhetoric of “Making America Great Again” and therefore revitalizing our military will soon become a reality. Trump has formally requested a reappropriation of funds; around $54 Billion, towards the US military. Part of Trump’s campaign promises had to do with making the military more robust; ensuring America’s title of militarily strongest in the world. In order to achieve this goal. Trump’s federal government has the option of many different aspects of the military to focus on. Of these, funding weapons of mass destruction, cyber security, and further military research and development prove themselves as most relevant in the contemporary military.

While reading this article it was brought to my attention that President Trump slogan “Make America Great Again” is not clearly defined. Questions and answers were discussed on the context of this message. “How can greatness be summed up, what characteristic or people are we aiming to please while making America great again and will make America great again and what area will determine America’s greatness” are questions that led to the topic of the discussion. President Trump’s campaign slogan has contributed to people of minority feeling uneasy due to evoking rights to help the majority and well-liked America (Republicans). The article addressed inequalities experienced by “black” people and how the “black” population will react to Trump making

President Trump’s charisma is a key reason for why he has been so effective in capturing the focus of Millions in the United States and even Billions worldwide. President Trump is always changing. Just when people think they’ve begun to understand him (i.e. what he might say or do), he often does something to prove their assumption wrong. During the election, whenever the media attention would start to deviate from Donald Trump, some sort of a new controversy would suddenly arise, (e.g. like with his plan for a temporary travel ban from countries that were predominantly Muslim, dubbed the “Muslim Ban”), which directed the media right back onto himself. Whether intentional or not, President Trump’s controversies essentially drowned out his competition during the election, detracting all the attention from his more experienced political

Downgrading. That is this election in a nutshell. I have not felt more annoyed with politics and media outlets than ever before, since Donald Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015 ,with those empty four words "Make America Great Again" , we learned that Trump is nothing, but a whining child that erupts on any ounce of criticism from either side. Why did he gain the support of voters with such minuet substance, like building a wall or banning all Muslims? I believe voters fell into the same trap as Bernie supporters , by appealing to people with on the spot ideas without any real consideration. The validity of free college is equivalent to building a wall paid for by Mexico, both are incompatible in the real world.

Inauguration day marks a new beginning. Every four years, Americans officially welcome a new president. Each president has to address the plans, goals and ideas for the future. Therefore, the inaugural speech is meant to be an emotional and hopeful ceremony for all Americans. The inaugural speech sets the tone for the president’s first weeks in the white house. Ideally this speech will encourage those who voted to believe and trust that the right leader is in the office. On January 20, 2017 Donald Trump gave his inaugural speech and through the use of hyperboles, repetitions, and metaphors he aimed to unify the nation and give hope for the future.

In the heated contest for the American Presidency, candidates have been known to use rhetoric to gain the upper-hand and influence voters. Donald Trump, known for his hot temper and crass mannerism, is running as a Republican candidate against the Democratic Hillary Clinton who has a reputation for political cowardice and deceit. Trump grabbed the limelight in a negative way; once again, when media took advantage of a kairotic moment, or an exploitable and vulnerable situation, from his past, by discussing Trump shown on film voicing his opinion that John McCain is not a war hero--because he was captured (CSPAN 2015). To add to the cloud of negativity patriotic Americans began to build up in their

In less than a few months, the election session will be upon us again. Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump is running his campaign on the ballot of “Make America Great Again.” These four words are quite amazing, and yet dangerous. As Trump travels from state to state announcing his platform, people are shouting these words “Make America Great Again.” Essentially, at the core of his rhetoric is the idea that America has never been great. For Trump, I imagine, “Making America Great Again” is coded for “Making America White Again”, although everything in America was built by African Americans. I open with this brief introduction because this is the same argument that is made in a religious context.

Donald Trump’s win in the recent Presidential campaign is probably one of the greatest paradoxes in the recent political history of the US. On the one hand, he was the candidate unwanted and criticised by everyone, including the Republican Party, which has actually nominated him as the President. On the other hand, his very controversial sayings and ideas has drawn the public attention and public support to him and revived nostalgic feelings of many Americans about traditional American values and return of America to its greatness.

Currently, the media’s coverage of Donald Trump has become one of the most debated topics of the 2016 campaign. The debate centers on how, and how much, media coverage helped Trump as he rose the top of the polls and became the president of our nation. While Donald Trump may have received both positive and negative feedback throughout the course of the election he apparently has had a particular disfavor for negative criticism regarding his viewpoints concerning our country. Often it has been stated by Trump that he views traditional news outlets to be the “most dishonest human beings on Earth” and has exchanged many negative comments regarding their coverage.

As presidential candidate, Trump’s campaign has been plagued by controversy. His speeches and social media have drawn the attention of many new sources and the media. This attention is the source of the problem according to his vice presidential nominee, Mike Pence. During a meeting in Manchester, NH, Pence addressed his concern over the coverage that the words of Trump are receiving. He voices his annoyance that Donald Trump is picked apart by the media, while Clinton appears to be left unharmed. This assertion appeals to the Trump supporters who feel that Trump is fighting against a corrupt voting system, that will be nearly impossible to win against. This tactic is not unheard of in presidential, but normally occurs later in the race, not

Donald Trump has a provocative yet seductive brand. It is provocative because he has enraged a large number of groups in America that are angry and willing to fight for their equality. Trump has made controversial comments about Mexicans, Muslims, women, and African Americans. Not only has he made those offensive statements, he has recently pledged to make Abortion illegal and failed to disavow the Ku Klux Klan. Though he has made many offensive and hurtful statements to a lot of Americans his campaign is easily the most attractive. He has acquired a billion dollars worth of free media coverage because of how seductive his brand is. In the branding lecture we discussed “6 branding lessons we can learn from Trump”(lecture.) The 6 branding lessons

“Big companies spend millions on advertising because they know it takes a minimum of seven encounters with a brand before a buying decision can be reached. The more we are exposed to a brand, the more we like it. As brands are exposed to us more and more, the physiology of our brains is altered in such a way that makes it easier for us accept and even prefer those brands next time we encounter them. This is why that song we hated at first grows on us after it receives constant radio play. Trump is a brand and ‘The Donald’ is its celebrity spokesperson. After invading reality TV with "The Apprentice," he proceeded to take over the news media. Love him or hate him, everyone was talking about him at every stage of the campaign process. He dominated the headlines for months. Hillary, although a celebrity in her own right, still couldn't compete with the Donald Trump attention-magnet media phenomenon. Donald Trump as well reiterated in major swing states, “If he doesn't win Florida, he can't win the Presidency.” And, “No Republican candidate has ever gotten to the White House without winning Ohio.”
