Donald Trump Rhetorical Triangle

Bush uses appeals throughout his formal speech to help advance the argument he proposes. While doing this Bush takes his listeners on a roller coaster of emotion, appealing to pathos and to logos, then to ethos and back to

Unquestionably, President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump effectively spoke upon their difficult occasion, in separate ideas, which are based on emotional connections, public demands, and uses of rhetorical appeals. One way their speeches was effective was due to their tone, which had built strong connections with their audiences. Obama’s tone was reassuring and heartening, while Trump’s tone was devastating and supportive. In the same manner, the president's offer support, prayers, and unity to the public. In addition to tone and public needs, Obama and Trump use similar devices to further make their speeches effective. A few examples, include parallelism and anaphora. However, Obama and Trump have certain contrasting statements,

Gail highlights the main idea that Donald Trump won’t accept the election results if he loses. In the third debate, Donald Trump constantly interrupted Hillary Clinton and the moderator. Gail Collins uses the rhetorical mode; illustration by pulling out examples from the debate. In addition, Gail pulled quotes directly out of the the debate to support her purpose that the third debate was a mess. She used the quote “I will tell you at the time. … I’ll keep you in suspense” from Donald Trump to show how horrible Donald Trump's remarks at the debate were. Gail also uses the rhetorical strategy; colloquialism, to turn the twisted debate into something comical. She uses words like “jeepers!” and “yow!” to show how cringe-worthy his remarks were. Gail Collins uses the same rhetorical strategy throughout her

In this essay, I will closely examine the role of ethos, pathos, and logos as they were utilized in the 1992 Presidential Debate video clip. Throughout Clinton and Bush’s debates, they used the three options of persuasion effectively and discretely; however, it is evident that out of the three ways of persuasion, the candidates used ‘pathos’ because of the content they were providing. It was apparent that Bill Clinton was more prepared to display forms of persuasion than George H.W. Bush was because Clinton had prior experience dealing with lower income people. In the upcoming paragraphs, I will explain and analyze how each candidate made use of the three forms of persuasion: logos, pathos, and ethos.

There are even more people engrossed in Trump's campaign as his contentious rhetoric is spreading and becoming exponentially obscene. His words foreshadow what he'd do if he were president. My teachers have said that they "don't care" if Trump becomes president because "he wouldn't have any power, thanks to Congress." Obviously, that's false, and as we all have seen, his divisive words have been significantly detrimental to unification in this country - and he's not even in charge. I can imagine how he'd undermine the liberties granted by this country from the start. As he gains more advocates for becoming President of the U.S.A, I'm sure everyone else will be even more surprised by what he has to say because he'll have more leeway for his

While in a debate Donald trump and Barack Obama, Donald asks what is the true meaning of rhetoric. I said “Mr. Trump, Rhetoric is a language which has persuasive content which is a form of lying but also lacks meaning or truthfulness.” He then asked me to give an example of rhetoric and I said “approaching a clerk at a store and they ask will you help support Donald trump’s campaign by adding $5 to your total amount.” Trump said would please provide a definition for rhetor, and I said yes but with a slight agitation in my voice because of the way he is asking me the questions. I said “a rhetor is someone who is speaking in the language of rhetoric”. Trump asked for an example and I said “a rhetor is like a salesman.”

Since its conclusion, the 2016 presidential election had proven itself to be one of the most unprecedented elections cycles in recent memory Republican candidate Donald Trump, a self-proclaimed Washington outsider, scored an electoral victory of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton earning him the role as 45th president of the United States. Though Donald Trump was criticized for polarizing the electorate with rhetoric seen as discriminatory, the building of a wall on the United States-Mexico border and banning Muslims entry to the United States, it is inarguable to claim that his rhetoric on economic matter was divisive. In matter of speaking, it could be considered quite appealing. For many in the electorate, just the simple conversation

[Abstract]In the 2016 American presidential election, Donald Trump, who has been dampening down since his announcement of running for president, beat his opponent Hilary Clinton, being elected as the next president of the United State, which was seen as a political miracle. As we know, rhetoric plays a vital role in western society, and it is even more closely interconnected with the western political life. The rhetoric resources were divided into three parts in the western classical rhetoric. They are logos, pathos and ethos. And Aristotle has long put forward that ethos is the controlling factor of persuasion. From a perspective of ethos of western rhetoric, this paper is to illustrate the core theory of ethos and to focus on the Donald Trump’s first public speech running for presidency, and then to make an in-depth analysis on how Trump constructed his identity and character through the use of ethos strategies in his speech and thus earned great popularity and more voters’ support. This paper is intended to point out the decisive role of ethos in persuasion.

The president is perhaps the most visible arm of government to the American people. Through the drama of highly televised election campaigns and public speeches, the president is, for most people, the face of government. The president’s communication to the public is spotlighted and given much more attention than other public officials’, such as representatives or senators. Since the president receives more public attention than any other individual in government, it seems natural to analyze presidential rhetoric.

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.

Donald Trump uses the propaganda technique called emotional appeals. It is a method of persuasion that is designed to create an emotional response. When Donald Trump talks about the southern border between the U.S and Mexico he says “when Mexico sends its people they’re not sending they’re

On March 1, 2016, an American businessman out of Queens, New York found himself in surprisingly unfamiliar territory as he ruled a day where politics is of much significance. On this day known as “Super Tuesday” Donald Trump celebrated his victory by using a tactic which baffled the American public and through the media outlets in a loop. Instead of following the traditional celebratory rally, he strategically held a news conference where he wanted to appeal to the American eye in the form of an actual President. During his press conference, he decided to speak on Hilary Clinton, immigration and how it is time to “Make America Great Again”. Although, Mr. Trump uses these as strengths when addressing the public he has no credibility when speaking on the matters.

In any presidential election, it is important to take the characteristics of each candidate into consideration in order to determine who is most qualified for the title “president of the United States”. Being a president of a country comes with a great deal of responsibility. A president is required to make appearances, present speeches, be involved in foreign affairs, help make military decisions, and serve as a representative of the nation as a whole. To be a good president, one must be able to present their arguments eloquently with sufficient evidence provided to support their claims. Though the practice of good rhetoric is fundamental in any potential president, it is not the only the only skill necessary to be considered a good president.

During this very important speech, President Trump attempts to show how dominant he is and how great of a person he believes he is. He fills the first few paragraphs with a mixture of pathos (“Mr. Secretary, I will begin by saying me and Melania had a terrified time meeting with you and your wife, Caterina, whom I should add has a terrific figure.”) logos (“What a terrific turn out, but there are 193 nations in the UN. 193. Maybe 192 now with what happened to antigua and barbuda.”) He likes to show that he is very powerful and often relies on the fact that the is the President and therefore should not be questioned. (“And we all saw my leadership on it. I had the best people in place, and to be honest, people will study how our response forever because of how great it was. Great response.”) Then he follows up with attempting to make an ethos statement, (“So I love the people of Florida. The many people down there. I love them, and they love me.”) Ethos, logos, and pathos are just barely scratching the surface of the rhetorical appeals in this speech.

The inauguration speech of Donald Trump has characterized how he presents himself during his presidency term and to the people as well. Trump’s purpose is to bring fellow Americans to become great again by what he will do during his four years. He adopts a hopeful tone in order for Americans united together to fixing our emerging problems.As in his speech that has formal diction,hopeful and motivational tone,and simple and detailed syntax that advance his rhetorical strategies in his address.
