3 Things Donald Trump’s Presidential win taught us
Donald Trump won the US elections to the absolute disbelieve of many. This were people who refused to pay close attention to facts some of which were discoursed months before the election by Charisma on Command and Scot Adams.
We’ve learned a few things from Trump’s win some of which I’d share with you.
1). Don’t believe anything you see on the media
I was amazed at some of the fake news about Trump I saw circulating various African news websites and the funny thing is that people believed them without doing research.
Prior to the election, it was evident the mainstream media was pro-Hillary. They tried so hard to protect Hillary while always taking a jab at Trump.
None of them –as far as I know—gave any indication that Trump won the presidential debates. But if you watch the debates and are true to yourself, you’d agree to this.

People fight back...
Most major news outlets, public figures and average folks tried to make everyone that supported Trump seem like a sexists, racists, homophobes, islamophobes, and this was just a terrible decision.
It rather filled the fire behind Trump’s supporters, and encouraged more people to secretly vote in support of Trump (Stockholm-Trump Syndrome you may say)
3). Bad publicity is better than no publicity
Trump said this in his book, “Art of the Deal”, and it has proven to work for him during his presidential campaign.
Trump has said some foolish things during his campaign. But some of the things he said have been blown out of propulsion by the mainstream media.
Trump also made very polarising statements that helped to keep him 24 hours on the news, and he uses each coverage for marketing.
Conclusion
We don’t know what the future holds with Trump as the president of the United States of America, but we should all be
Donald Trump is portrayed as a lying, evil individual in the media. Although we may not know the complete and total truth, we are able to identify that he is lying about something. For example, one of the very first things Trump had said to gather the attention of the audience would be about getting rid of all illegal immigrants. Rapidly, people began turning their heads and opening their ears when they finally understood what he was trying to do. “The consistency and emotional appeal
First off, Donald Trump has made a fair share of blatantly stupid sounding statements on television. At the same time a lot of what he has said has been taken out of context and emphasized because of who he is and his public past. An example of this would be in the latest episode of The Colbert Report, his statements are taken from context and are portrayed as him debating himself . Really, Trump is an
With the media reporting on the presidential election coming up and the running candidates, there is a bias when the newscasters are reporting them to the public. Goldberg stated “CBS News—which claims to stand for fairness and objectivity—allow words like ‘scheme’ and ‘wacky ' in what is supposed to be a straight news story about a legitimate candidate running for president of the United States.” Goldberg’s statement is true today with running candidate Donald Trump. There is a lot of negative views on Trump but for reporters to place their own opinion on him when reporting the news is not right. Newscasters are to report in a straight objective way and inserting their views on the candidate is not being objective. No matter what the public is thinking about Trump, the reporters should not be putting their view on him or any other candidate when reporting. Trump is very egotistic but for a newscaster to state their opinion on this trait of him is not being
Presidential candidate Donald Trump, has used rhetorical fallacious tactics, to persuade his audience into voting for him. Fallacies may exploit emotional triggers in the listener, or take advantage of social relationships between people.
Throughout the first week of THE 225, many events took place within America that took the country by surprise. Trump’s inauguration was last Friday, January 20th, and already he has made drastic changes that will affect the lives of millions. His policies are based off sexist and racist claims that people have, for some odd reason, supported. With his new, corrupt policies, life in America will soon be set back decades because of his white supremacy mentality. Because of this, the nation has never been so divided since the Civil Rights Movement, something that was seemingly done with but clearly not if white supremacy becomes an issue. Although Trump’s America is not an ideal America and his claim to “Make American Great Again” implies
How did Donald Trump appeal to the public? First, Trump emphasized on Clinton’s weaknesses such as her e-mail scandal. The result of the scandal resulted in a loss of trust for Clinton, by voters (Cristina Silva, para. 3). Second, Trump stayed confident during the race and never let his guard down. Trump got the attention of voters by being bold and demanding change (Cristina Silva, para. 4). Third, Trump had learned how to communicate with the public through his career on television. He could use what he learned from being on television to get publicity during debates and on other news networks. (Cristina Silva, para. 5). Fourth, Trump was well known before the election. The people who were well aware of Trump before the election tended to vote for him (Cristina Silva, para. 6). Fifth, Trump had enough money to self run his campaign and the extra donations helped in developing a new standard for campaigning (Cristina Silva, para. 7). Sixth, Trump appealed to voters with his plans on immigration and stopping Muslims from coming into the country. He taught civilians on how immigration is disruptive in our communities (Cristina Silva, para. 8,10). Seventh, Trump’s success as a businessman gave voters the impression that he will be a successful president (Cristina Silva, para. 11). Eighth, Trump gets points across with ease because he doesn’t use complicated words, making his plans easy to understand (Cristina Silva, para. 14). Ninth, Trump tells things how they are and is honest about what he thinks. Voters see him as a trustworthy candidate (Cristina Silva, para. 15). Tenth, Trump reached out to voters. During his campaign he went far and wide to spread what he had to say out to voters. He would also go off script in order to make his speeches more meaningful and from the heart (Cristina Silva, para. 19-20). Eleventh, Trump fought for swing states by visiting the mixed
Trump's political successes are in a large part due to what James author of Situating Speech: A Rhetorical Approach to Political strategy “The effectiveness of strategy will partly depend on how a speaker utilizes the prevailing conditions of any speech event (audiences, situations of the time).” In other words, the effectiveness of a rhetorical strategy depends on how the speaker utilizes the times of the day. Which, in modern times requires the persuader to utilize multiple mediums to reach the public. Furthermore the persuader must be able to deal with the constant news
Trump began posting extreme messages to stand out from other candidates during the election and still posts intense content to create more attraction in his presidency. As a matter of fact, the article “How Marketing Helped Donald Trump Win the 2016 Election.” agrees when it states that “Trump created and communicated an offering “value” of delivering change in exchange for the risk and time “price” voters paid to consider voting for him. Trump’s communication plan used the campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” to resonate with groups or target markets of people he wanted to reach…”. Essentially, Trump would post messages that would promote such as building a wall and creating a travel ban to prevent illegal immigration. He made more risks to achieve his goal of winning more people over by targeting
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
As expected trump won all the solid red states and major swing states like Texas and Ohio. Such support was adequate to swamp Clinton's support among nonwhite voters in states like Florida and North Carolina, and fueled him to his stunning bombshell triumphs in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. In spite of an absence of political experience deep down inside I thought Donald Trump would come out on top in the US presidential decisions do to the fact all the craziness that was going on with Hillary. Obviously regardless of a progression of contentions his message resounded with a colossal number of American voters in key states, and uncovered profound anarchistic outrage and discontent. Donald Trump won Texas on the quality of enormous edges with white and
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 addition, I like the last question of the debate because showed how each candidate conceded something about the other. I think Trump did a very good job in this question because he says that Clinton is a fighter person and does not give up. On the other hand Clinton says that Trump did a good job with raise their kids. I think she gave a half answers because she did
Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016, and now has been running our country for over a year. As Trump’s first year in office slowly began, his reputation seems to be creating different outside views of our nation and arguments started producing everywhere. After competing with Hillary Clinton for the presidential term in office, Trump defeated her along with her democratic supporters causing one of the most shocking elections in U.S. history. Using public media web pages, we are reviewing both sides of the argument regarding Trump’s election and we are going to decipher why each arguer supports their side, and why each side is reasonable for the benefit of our country.
Trump's campaign might look controversial but from the marketing perspective he cleverly stimulated voter's psychological drive to influence his target
During the election campaign of president trump one after another controversy was brought up by the media by the critics of president trump. Meanwhile, president trump was defensive by criticizing the media by calling them dishonest. President trump would make his case by pointing to the specific words used by the media. Does this detailed description of the media manipulation is caught by president trump over and over since he was part of that same media by having his own show or is it just because president trump is not dishonest and the media manipulates his statements in order to make
