Throughout the history of the United States of America there have been many politicians that have run on the campaign trail using their charm, their wit and some funds to help them on their way to win an election, and then there’s Donald Trump. Whatever you say about Donald Trump’s morals, there has been no doubt that his campaign has been a spectacle to watch. To show the effects of his campaign, envision the first presidential candidate that pops into your head. Donald Trump has been on the campaign trail since the very beginning of the G.O.P. nomination, and when people saw him initially they thought that he was a joke (except for me). How could a person who has never held a government office even hope to become president of the United States …show more content…
This type of diction can be the most understood by people because everyone has, at least, graduated from elementary school and people who have not graduated would usually have some sort of mental illness or are bedridden, unable to vote or have an effective outcome on Trump’s poll numbers. This use of low education level diction also helps him in his social media game. Everyone uses social media and websites like Twitter and Facebook both favor using short and sweet phrases to convey a message, even Twitter going as far to have a 180-character limit for each post. This also shows in his G.O.P. speech where he has clearly never uses words that a 5th grader could not understand. One example of this from his G.O.P. speech is: “We will be a country of generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order.”. This phrase follows suit with Donald Trump’s persona and shows his use of less sophisticated diction. It shows that he is a no nonsense type of guy that is tough on crime and is compassionate about American greatness. This phrase also uses simple words that any person that has graduated from elementary school could know like “warmth” and “generosity”, the only part of this sentence that could be considered middle school diction would maybe be “law and order”, but law and order is a name from a popular T.V. show so everyone generally …show more content…
Trump uses this unpredictability to manipulate the actions of his opposition and then outmaneuvering them to draw in voter and media attention, rather than directly persuading people to vote for him. Donald Trump loves to be unpredictable, it’s one of the reasons that the has done so well, it’s a message of rebellion, telling the voters that he is not a politician because he does not follow the rules of a politician. An example of this on his campaign trail was when he just skipped a debate and just did his own rally instead. I believe if the most clinically insane person were to run for president he would at least make every debate, why would Donald Trump do something like this, there are three reasons. One, his message is carried that he is a rebel and does not follow the rules as set by the Republicans further branding himself as not a politician. Two, it gains more media coverage by doing an action as ludicrous as missing a debate, which helps him show his messages. Three, it catches the other Republican candidates off guard because he changed last minute and they are required change strategies to compensate for his decision. When Donald Trump missed the debate it was well into the primary elections and by the time of the debate, he had insulted practically all the G.O.P. nominees. Because of this, most candidates had prepared for Trump being the greatest threat and made their
Trump’s problem is not so much what he’s done, but how he’s done it. I decided at the start that I wanted to profile him by describing his deals — not his lifestyle or his personality. After getting to know him, I realized that his deals are his life. He once told me: “I won’t make a deal just to make a profit. It has to have flair.” Another Manhattan developer said it differently: “Trump won’t do a deal unless there’s something extra — a kind of moral larceny — in it. He’s not satisfied with a profit. He has to take something more. Otherwise, there’s no thrill.”
Donald Trump is a very successful business man that is just trying his hand in politics this election. He was born in Queens, New York on the fourteenth of June in 1946 and later graduated business school at the Warton School of Finance. Other than the acting chairman and president of his own organization, Trump has become a successful author of over 15 bestselling books including “The Art of the Deal.” He is also an Emmy nominee for his show “The Apprentice” which coined the phrase “you’re fired!”(“About Donald J. Trump”). Though he may not have much governing experience, he sure has gotten a lot
I myself do not associate with the typical Republican Party values, however I bring myself to appreciate certain aspects of candidates. While I see plenty of comments on republican candidates, Donald Trump more often than not, it was at least an informative and interesting experience if not tolerable to see these opinions the American public has formed in action. Trump, for example, does not mince his words. While blunt truth may seem intimidating, at least he is one to speak his mind. However, his comments heavily outweigh an honorable character. One of the most offensive of details, which was brought up in a question rather than by Trump himself, was framed around him being offensive to women. There have been accounts of him calling women on twitter “fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals” on the basis of looks. On top of direct insult, Trump allegedly made sexually harassing comments on twitter, too. While a few of these questions have
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.
Donald John Trump is currently one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States in the 2016 election. He is having no trouble winning numerous state caucuses and is currently the leading candidate with the most delegates among his republican peers. In the media, he is a candidate that seems to have the most air time compared to all of his contenders; his saturated exposure can be considered one of the major contributor to his rising popularity. Trump delivers simple but effective rhetoric about tax cuts for the rich as well as the poor, anti-free trade, tough immigration reform, Nationalism, and other topics that naturally draw in support from the average right-winged conservative individual. His crazy
Let’s get the most prominent and most talked about candidate out of the way, Donald Trump. I should first say that I am not a fan by any means. With this being said, I tried to watch the debates with an open mind and tried to look solely at his leadership style. I found Trump to be very defensive, childish, inappropriate, and all over the place. During the debates he loved to talk about how great he is; mentioning four times about his endorsements, about his great friends, and his wealth. Needless to say, he was not able to sway me. I will admit, Trump has extreme confidence. This is a great quality. However, he might just be too confident. It comes off as arrogant. Confidence is great to a certain degree, but it can also get you in trouble. He feels he is the best and everyone would listen to him because he is “Donald Trump”. He is so egotistical. There was one question asked about how Trump would order the military to target families of suspected terrorist after the military testifying the expansive use of torture is inexcusable and will refuse orders because they are illegal. His response: “They won’t refuse; they won’t refuse, believe me”.
The 2016 Presidential Election was historic and unprecedented for many reasons. However, throughout the election, the word unprecedented was most associated with Donald Trump, his campaign, his controversial platform and his wave of followers and support. This election was historic for many other reasons, not just for the rise of this right wing populist leader. It was also the first time that a female, Hillary Clinton, won the nomination of a major political party and stood a substantial chance at winning the presidency.
“Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush will make his first official campaign stop in Colorado” (Rittiman). Jeb Bush started his presidential campaign August 25th and seems to be falling fast just two months later. Suffering Donald Trump 's reality show style insults and the problems his family 's dynasty created Jeb has been steadily falling in the polls. He first came out running with many people behind him seeing him as genuine, but now he is beginning to fall prey to Trump 's demonization. Bush is losing funding fast and unfortunately for him some are calling him the next Scott Walker.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are running for President of the United States with opposing views on how to run the country. Both candidates have a lot of problems that could affect their candidacy. The 2016 presidential election could be the most scandal-plagued match-up ever held. The Republican front-runner is at least as burdened with controversy as Clinton is, and while many of the Clinton cases involve suspicion and shadowy links, many of Trump’s accusations are fully documented in court cases and legal proceedings. The range of Trump’s controversies is truly remarkable, ranging from allegations of mafia ties to fraudulent business dealings, racial discrimination, and alleged marital rape. These allegations have not stopped Trump from
Donald Trump's campaign was met with jokes and jeers. Political pundits dismissed him as a fringe candidate, not in it to win it, and too volatile to sustain momentum. The wide consensus was that the minute he opened his mouth, he would offend and the campaign would be over. They were half right. Trump called
During Donald Trump’s illusive campaign to be the forty-fifth President of the United States of America, Trump was notorious for making discriminatory, misogynistic, and outright inexcusable disclosures directed towards the Muslim community, the Hispanic community, reporters, women, and so on. Although there is a rich number of photos or videos to choose from, Trump’s Cinco De Mayo photo of himself enjoying a Taco Bowl in Trump Tower intends to carry a political message for the Hispanic community. Furthermore, Trump himself posted this photo to his own Twitter account, saying: “Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!” Correspondingly, to understand this photo, or to make the photo utter the unspoken
Donald Trump’s is a con artist who resembles his own university; he scams people out of their money, and his whole campaign is a scam. Trump lied to people on live TV saying that his university got an A approval rating by the Better Business Bureau. However, that is a lie; the last time they rated his university was in 2010 and they gave it a D-. Furthermore, Trump University shut down in 2011 and now Trump has many lawsuits that have been filed against his university for fraud. The people that paid to attend Trump University never actually met Trump even though they were promised. The closest any of the students got was taking a picture with a cardboard cutout of Trump. Trump scammed people between $20,000 and $60,000; but if Trump continually
Throughout the campaign, Trump repeatedly proved that he was an inapt candidate for president. After researching and watching many of his campaign ads, it is obvious that his campaign relied heavily on the downfalls of his opponent. He had little to say for himself and what he did choose to say was often offensive or degrading to specific groups of people.
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
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
