If President Donald Trump’s actions and intents represent the opposite of economic logic, then what would lead 62,979,879 people to vote for him. Trump’s plan for winning has many parts, but for starters, he largely focused on reviving the lower and middle class’ hopes, spirits, and incomes. The first part of this plan regards the specific language that he utilizes when speaking to the non-wealthy Americans. He is notable for repeating statements such as, “America doesn’t have victories anymore” or “they’re laughing at us”. By utilizing statements such as these, Trump is appealing to his audience’s emotions and implementing scare tactics that will place the listener in a frightened state. He then paints himself as the answer to the fears that
To draw a modern-day analogy, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas used a procedural filibuster as a mechanism to shut down the federal government in opposition to President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. While some argue his political intentions were admirable, his self-interested nature drove his use of underhanded political tactics to achieve his ultimate end. In turn, his actions proved destructive for the public good—costing taxpayers millions of dollars. Supporters of Senator Cruz argue that he chose the right course of action. “The loyalties of every Senator are distributed among his party, his state and section, his country and his conscience.” The competing pressures of party interests, public interests, and personal moral responsibility to vote in the interests of his conscience forces the Senator to compartmentalize himself. As a result, Senator Cruz acted upon his ideal of statesmanship by pursuing private interest instead of adhering to party loyalty.
Texas senator, Ted Cruz, won Iowa’s caucus vote for the Republican’s presidential race. Ted Cruz is in strong opposition in what Obama has done and has rallied voters who agree with him. His campaign promises to defend against terrorism and repeal Obama’s healthcare program. Many other candidates found it difficult to get a caucus vote and have decided to drop out of the presidential race. Former Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee, dropped out of the race. Many of the other governors barely got support according to the recent Iowa
Even though Evan Osnos has been a credible writer for The New Yorker for many years I as many others, have never heard of him. For this assignment I wanted to use the articles of a talented writer that is not as recognized as they should be and when I had the topic I wanted in mind I looked up articles about it and stumbled upon his most famous piece of writing “President Trump’s First Term.” I dived in deeper in his column and decided that I wanted to use his articles because we have the same opinions and I like his factual kind of writing. There weren’t as many difficulties writing the rhetorical analysis but I don’t believe I did as well on the explaining of strategies I identified as I would have wanted to. A success I experienced was getting
Donald Trump, a once controversial political candidate, gave his 2017 Inaugural address on January 20th, 2017 when he was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States. Through appeals such as syntax and diction, religion and patriotism, and logic, Donald Trump was able to generate a unifying speech toward his audience. Amidst the growing violence and repercussions of the 2016 election, Donald Trump, in his 2017 Inaugural address, sends the message that he will put America and its citizens first to unite the country and change America for the better.
“I am proposing a new foreign policy focused on advancing America’s core national interests, promoting regional stability, and producing an easing of tensions in the world”. Donald Trump words generate the idea that he is dedicated to bring success to America. Trump attempts to persuade the American people through assumptions and opinions. However, one thing that is hindering him from reaching his goal, is his speech on National Security in Philadelphia, and how it’s not logically convincing. Throughout this essay, multiple instances will be discussed, and most importantly prove the fact, why his speech was not logically convincing.
I am writing a potential victory speech for Donald Trump’s presidential race. I’m interested in this area of topic because of how Donald Trump manages to gain thousands of supporters, even with his flawed and both morally and ethically wrong views. The is created from the combination of all the previous speeches that Donald Trump delivered ( the tone, the content, and structure of the speech). It is quite easy to predict what he will say and he does not follow any formal speech structures. For example, he will insult an individual or a group and its beliefs, and jump from place to place. This speech also explores the impact of political incorrectness by Donald Trump, his use of ‘fifth-grade vocabulary’ that contains many racist and sexist comments.
All people make mistakes, but some people are never allowed to forget theirs. A man attacked, harassed, and belittled by media outlets with a personal vendetta against him for his prior claims that they broadcast fake news. This is the image of Donald J. Trump portrayed by my political cartoon for part two of my genre remix. Based off of my project two analysis of the effectiveness of Donald Trump’s rhetoric in his 2016 Phoenix campaign speech based on Lloyd Bitzer’s model of the rhetorical situation, my political cartoon focuses on the same man, but an entirely new exigence and audience, with a new load of constraints.
According to Donald Trump, “NFL players who protest anthem should be fired”. This all started with San Fran 49s quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, 13 months ago, that caught a lot of attention that also generated political storms after taking a knee during the national anthem. Kaepernick States he didn’t want “to stand up and show pride in a flag that oppresses black people and people of color”. This weekend trump decided to belittle all the players that kneeled with name calling [sons of bitches] and encouraging for them to be fired.
Donald Trump recently gave a speech discussing rising Radical Islamic Terrorism, immigration from the Middle East, and a need for a rise in national security while Manchester, New Hampshire on June 13th 2016. He centers his whole speech around discussing how bad a President his opponent, Hillary Clinton, would be in difficult times. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of Finance in 1968 with a bachelor 's degree in economics, and has become a very successful businessman. He’s the Republican nominee for this upcoming presidential election, and is a very controversial candidate and person. He has come under fire for many of his views that he discusses in his June 13th speech. While Trump does make some agreeably points, he renders his speech ineffective because of his heavy reliance on Clinton’s opinion to form his own. If Trump were to become President, his stance on important issues would need to be reached with careful consideration, and not just based on doing the opposite of his opponents.
This article was mainly about Donald Trump passing a comment that the media is questioning about. "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said at a campaign rally. This comment has left many media personas wondering what he meant by that comment. However, it is written in the article that Trump refused to clarify his comment. The article then goes on to mention about how Trump
My reaction to Trump's statement was dissatisfaction. When you read the statement, it seems as if he might actually be concerned. When you watch the statement, you hear the lack of empathy in his voice, the lack of emotion in general. My reaction to the situation itself was heartache. School shootings have become so normalized, which makes it even more tragic. The fact that the AR-15 used was purchased legally is disturbing. Donald Trump barely discusses what will be done to prevent this from happening again. He claims that schools will be made safer, but doesn't say how. Trump states that the "difficult issue of mental health" will be resolved. Is this man planning on curing my depression? What does he mean it will be tackled? Of course mental
There has been a lot of talk about the 2016’s presidential candidates, and Donald Trump is the one leading the popularity poll. I do not agree with his views concerning immigration and the comments he has made on the Latino community are sickening. Frankly, I do not believe he will ever become President of The United States of America.
The article mentions the story of Esteban Torres, a congressman whose father deported during the large-scale deportation between 1920 and 1950. The real focus is on the proposal of Donald Trump, which sees in the mass deportation an effective solution to illegal immigration. He seems to ignore the drama connected with the mass deportation of the last century. How can we forget those millions of fathers and mother who have been deported in Mexico, literally kidnapped from their families? Many of them were, also, American citizens. Trump has made the fight against the cornerstone of his program by stubbornly supporting a position, which appears abhorrent in the eyes of the most. Initially, I though it was just an absurd idea conceived to attract
Donald Trump once said, “You have to think anyway, so why not think big?” If you think about this quote, you will realize the true meaning behind this quote. This essay will provide a clear reflection of Donald Trump’s statement.
Trump begins his speech by rallying the public using “we” as a constant reminder of our universal bond of being U.S. citizens. By using a group mentality, Trump is able to successfully use ethos to invoke a response for the “group” – the United States citizens. In order for Trump to gain the public’s approval, he must first make everyone feel connected with him. For instance, in one of Trump’s opening lines, he attempts to create a crowd frame of mind by saying, “Our country is in serious trouble. We don’t have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don’t have them” (Donald Trump Transcript: ‘Our Country Needs a Truly Great Leader). The individuals who wrote the speech for Trump did not say “we” and “our” by accident, their purpose was to persuade the public how Donald Trump – the multi-millionaire business tycoon– can be relatable to anyone in the crowd.
