Donald Trump Speech Analysis

Historically, this speech is going to last forever, therefore, it is important to look at the overall effect. Trump begins the speech with a very sorrowful tone. Hitting major topics such as jobs going overseas, the education system and corrupt politicians. To then slowly transition to a more hopeful and prospering future. The transition focuses on

On January 20th, 2017, President Donald J. Trump was sworn into office after a tough year and election. Many people believed that he would not be able to win presidency, they said that he wasn't capable of winning an election since he was against very acknowledged candidates such as Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. People believed that Hillary would definitely win but by surprise Trump won the electoral vote with his prize being a whole nation to lead. After being sworn in and officially becoming the president, Trump gave his moving but controversial inaugural speech. Through the longevity of the speech, Trump uses various rhetorical devices in order to get his point across to the audience.

On September 11, 2001, America was attacked by members of an Islamic extremist group resulting in the deaths of over three thousand people, including more than four hundred firefighters and police officers. Needless to say the people of America were both frightened and confused, looking to their leader President George W. Bush to offer comfort and guidance during this dark time, and President Bush responded with an inspiring speech full of hope, Indeed President Bush’s speech was a powerful and immediate response to the events of that terrible day because he was not only able to capture the emotions of his country, but also because he was able to form a call to action for his country, reassuring them of his will and ability to protect America and retaliate for the horrific events of that day. He utilized important elements of rhetoric including ethos, logos, and pathos.

In his speech titled “Donald Trump RNC Draft Speech,” given in Cleveland to the Republican National Convention on July 21, 2016, Republican nominee Donald Trump attempts convince Republican delegates and others watching to elect him to the office of President on the United States of America based on his assessment of the US’s problems, the failures of Democrats, notably Hillary Clinton, and his plans to right the nation. Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president. Delivering a speech where he remarks the America's struggles with crime, terrorism and immigration. He plans to address them. Trump then states that Democrats are not truthful they democrats are full of lies and he gives an example saying that he presents the facts of what is occurring in and how he would fix it. Trump argued that the United States declined by the Obama administration blaming democrats and immigrants and Hillary Clinton. He gives to the audience a vision of how America is in chaos. The US has problems with crime, immigration, unemployment, and foreign affairs. Trump use emotion in the speech by saying that Hillary has done a horrible job a secretary of the state. Trump’s plans. Hillary is a criminal. the election system is rigged. Trump will fix crime, the economy, education, and equality. He compares himself to Hillary by saying that she created the terrorist groups. Trump said that he would fix tax laws, education, vets, Supreme Court, religion. reinforces plan. Make America Great Again (Trump). While Trump is an expert on the economy, because of his exaggerations, intimidating language, and exposing his political opponents, his speech is an ineffective argument.

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.

In the article, “Donald Trump’s Inaugural Address Was Great”, the author, James Poulos, states that Trump delivered a magnificent inaugural speech. Trump even echoed Bill Clinton’s promise about how no matter what is wrong with America, it can be fixed. Poulos also agreed with Trump about putting the people and our country first. For example, Poulos states, “For Trump, "America first" is once again not a principle of vanity or greed, but of grim necessity.” He also suggests that the people of America can never withdraw from the world in reaction. The character of America colors the character of the entire world, more than any other country. Poulos mentions that the first step to making America great again is

Though Trump wants to “Make America great again” he needs to work on his facts first. The research I did on his statements made in the Address to Congress came back that most of his information was wrong. His take on our crumbling infrastructure may make Americans believe we are doing worse than we are when we are doing better than we were a couple years ago. His take on terrorism seems biased. There has not been a successful attack on the United States since 9/11. And last of all, his statements on the refugee crisis and illegal immigration was wrong. He claims immigrants from Mexico are taking up resources, but he’s not right. Now, take a look at what he claimed and the facts behind them.

I think that this speech was very interesting, and I, as many others were shocked about his approach. For the first time in a long time, he was talking about “we” and not “I”. I believe this is important because I think it takes more than one man to solve all the problems. If we work together and help each other, things will be more easily solved, and probably also faster. trump talked about rebirth, common goods, and hope, and I believe that all of these factors are important for today`s world, and not only the U.S`s future but the world`s

Bush was dealt a difficult hand. Many tragedies happened on his watch and several politicians say it was one of the hardest times to be a president. However, this speech was delivered before the terror of September 11th when the country was divided by race, religion, and fear. America had nine months of peace with the new Commander in Chief. This inaugural address was effective in January 2001, before we were thrust into a seemingly endless and at time meaningless, war. Had this speech been given one year later many of his arguments wouldn’t land and the country would be less welcoming to mosques and synagogues. His Kairos and effectiveness were suitable for a pre-9/11

Justin Trudeau is our new elected Prime minister and Canadians have many questions about what this means and what comes next.

When I saw the inaugural speech I was impressed by the fact that he's not an expert in politics and he managed to get this far and for America to know him for who he really is. Knowing that he can't control his mouth and control for what he's saying for me it was a short speech but successful. One thing that Trump brought up to his speech was when he said “The Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity” I liked when he brought that up because I feel like that's what America is about that we should all be united as

Trump calls upon his viewers’ patriotism and sense of duty with a lively, optimistic tone in attempt to unify the country with the goal of eradicating the opioid crisis. He takes advantage of America’s devotion to the future of the country by stating that “we want the next generation of young Americans to know the blessings of a drug-free life.” By emphasizing that the lives of America’s children are at stake, Trump compels the audience to take action themselves in order to secure a better tomorrow for the children of the United States. He then encourages citizens through inspiring diction to better their communities. The word choice “everyday heroes” and guardian angels” glorifies the people who take initiative in their communities. Trump’s glorification of those who go along with his plan motivates others to follow suit in order for them to be considered “heroes” or “angels.” Trump again attempts to unify the nation through an appeal to patriotism and sense of community. He declares, “together, we will face this challenge as a national family with conviction, with unity, and with a commitment to love and support

Another very effective rhetorical strategy used in this speech is allusion. The first allusion Trump makes is about The Marshall Plan. He mentions the pillars of The Marshall Plan: Peace, sovereignty, security and prosperity. He also states that “The Marshall Plan was built on the noble idea that the whole world is safer when nations are strong, independent, and free.” The reason he alludes to The Marshall Plan is

From the context of the speech, President Trump anticipated that the middle-class citizens of America would reason with him the most, being the targeting audience. The rest of the country, as well as other first-world nations, were intended to be the secondary audience. With this in mind, President Trump knows that he has already won the middle-class as a leader, now he aims to prove to these hard-working individuals that he will be everything they want in a president and more. The speech starts off by talking negatively towards the current situation in America, discussing issues like poverty and a failing education system. Trump makes sure to talk down on the current state of America so that his audience will feel more inclined to favor his choices that he promises to bring, which is what he then begins to talk about.

In response to disastrous events, George W. Bush and Emperor Hirohito use various language techniques to position their audience respectively. The 1945 bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, killing many hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, saw the broadcast of Emperor Hirohito’s speech in response to the inhuman action, announcing Japan’s surrender in World War II. Similarly, in the wake of the 2001 Islamic terrorist attack, that killed and injured many innocent civilians and saw the fall of America’s World of Trade Centre; George W. Bush made his infamous speech commencing the war on terror and reassuring Americans of their safety. Whilst one author declares war and the second surrenders, several commonalities such as, emotive appeal, listing and inclusive language are evident language techniques in both texts, used to position their audience.
