One example of a story of difference that is used to perpetuate oppression in today’s society, is the controversial remarks given by Donald Trump when speaking of immigrants coming from Mexico. According to the Associated Press, Donald Trump stated that Mexico sent the United States, its immigrants who carry numerous problems (drugs, rape, crime, etc.) for America to solve (2015). Donald Trump further stated that the United States had become a dumping ground for other people’s problems (Associated Press, 2015). These comments initially sparked widespread outrage and confusion by the public, while few hesitantly agreed with the presidential candidate. Although organizations such as NBC and Univision ended their business relations with Trump,
This essay will discuss the issue of whether Elizabeth Warren is one of the worst Senators in the entire United States Senate. During a campaign rally, Donald Trump argues supporting Senator Warren is a mistake for several reasons. I will argue that his argument against Elizabeth Warren has several flaws.
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

As of January of 2017, America is under new management. Donald J Trump, a businessman and reality television host, is the 45th President of the United States of America. In his inauguration speech, he reiterated the point of “America First!”, hailing back to the platform he ran on during the election against Hillary Rodham Clinton. His campaign was focused on anti-immigrant rhetoric, targeting non-American Muslims and Mexicans. He insists upon building a wall across our southern border and making Mexico pay for it. He criticizes trade with China, and believes that American companies need to be manufacturing their products at home instead of abroad. A president cannot govern by rhetoric, but according to a study held by White House advisor and
The column I choose was, “Trump’s inner circle knows he has lost” by Jennifer Rubin. The argument presented in the column is that everyone that supports Donald Trump, or has supported him in the past, knows he is going to lose the election. I completely agree with Rubin but her evidence simply does not make sense to me. She writes, “Donald Trump Jr. is already making excuses,” and does not present a single piece of evidence to prove it. She also writes, “Running for president, the Trump scion proclaimed, is a ‘step down’ for his father,” and doesn't give a name to the person saying this, let alone, provide the quote in its entirety. The entire column is unclear and bounces from example to example without much elaboration. This column is part
The “disturbances of collective order” (Durkheim 1915, 246) or norms with spikes in unemployment and increased competition in labor market could have resulted in what Durkheim referred to as anomic suicide. People’s lives have been greatly impacted and they are uncertain of the future in America. Trump argues that immigrants pose a competition in labor market and he promised to bring jobs back for American workers or the White working class. It’s harder for them to live with the decline of jobs because in the old economic order, White workers have greater opportunities for growth. When their expectation of themselves in the society is threatened, Trump’s promise
The 2016 Presidential Election has brought a lot of controversy due to negative statements about not only the United States but as well as other countries specifically focusing on Mexico and the border. Both Presidential Candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have both touched on the topic about Mexico and its border. However, Donald Trump has been the one with the negative statements about Mexico, the border, and their people. I am arguing about the lack of reliability of Donald Trump's statements throughout the Presidential Election about Mexico, the border, and their people. Trump had stated that, “Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border. The United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico and, in
“Make America Great Again!” This is the campaign slogan for the republican candidate Donald Trump, who is running for present in the 2016 presidential election. His slogan is simple yet complex, it’s easy to dream about but hard to do. The United States of America is starting to become an extremely corrupt place. We now live in a time where police officers are viewed as our enemies instead of our friends, where if you give someone in your local supermarket a friendly “hello” they look at you as if you are mentally unstable. How is this problem ever going to be solved? The answer is we need a new leader, His name is Donald J Trump.
Let's be honest with ourselves here. No one actually likes Donald Trump. Let me rephrase that. No one likes what Trump does. And we all know that Donald Trump does not like when we disagree with him. Especially on “Social Media”. Trump is very widely known for his infamous Twitter account; notorious for his controversial tweets. Twitter is a place where opinions are gladly appreciated, yet our “POTUS” can’t handle criticism from his own citizens, so his expert solution is………..blocking them. Even more irony comes from the very fact that his 3rd wife is trying to take a stand against bullying, yet she can’t control her own husband, who is the biggest one of them all! But most importantly, we really need to fix it before it is too late.
That this actical of the week is about is A Republican newspaper is not suppering Donald Trump and supporting Hillary Clinton.What I think about all of this is that if you are a newspaper that is just post to write about one party you can't just switch over to supporting another party that is just not right. Because that new paper does not like Donald Trump does not give the right to write about the democrat party.When they are post to write about the republican party and they write about the other party not then party they are post to.All of the controversy between Hillary Clinton emails and Donald Trump sex abuse charges. I think that the newspaper should not be covering neither of the conduits because both are not fit for the president's
In the March 2016 Washington Post, “The GOP - and its big funders - scramble to insulate Congress from Trump,” authors Matea Gold and Paul Kane explains the impact Trump has caused in the congressional race.
I would vote for Donald Trump because the wants to strengthen our military, cut-taxes the right way, and upholds our 2nd amendment. Trump also has a strong business background which will aid him in running our country. There are many more things that I agree with trump on, but the three topics listed at the beginning are the main reasons I support trump.
It's common knowledge that Donald Trump is controversial. He often gets attention for saying outrageous things. His latest comments about immigrants seem to have pushed the envelope too far. NBC has cut ties with him. His comments centered on Mexican immigrants. He referred to them as mainly drug dealers, and rapists. While going on to say that some were probably good people, but most were not. This caused a huge backlash against him.
[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.
Donald Trump’s speech addressed to the United Nations General Assembly on September 19, 2017 was not effective. Despite the speech having a universal message that is hard to disagree with, you can tell exactly which parts of the speech were written by a speech writer, and which parts of the speech were written by Trump himself. This wouldn’t be an issue if Donald Trump’s inflections weren’t full of fallacies and unnecessary statistics. For example, in the third paragraph, President Trump tries to establish his Ethos by listing improvements in the United States since he took office. But many of these cherry-picked improvements have absolutely nothing to do with him being elected. They also have nothing to do with the general theme of the speech. This speech did have examples of effective rhetorical strategies. However, the bad far outweighs the good in this speech and takes away from the good message it originally had.
