Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump

Donald Trump before he became the 45th president, his famous campaign motto “Make America Great Again” caught the attention of many Americans, but mostly by white Americans. Trump’s tactics made him a very clever man throughout the election, he had many techniques on how to gain the American vote. Throughout his campaign, he was attentive of the men around him. For example, Trump knew exactly what to say to get the attention of the American people. He already had in mind who he was going to pick in position for foreign policy, national security, and defense (“Donald Trump is the ultimate Machiavellian prince”). With this intention, he brought comfort to Americans, yet the people he was going to pick for these positions all have a common trait, which was all of them are specialist in the Middle East and Russia. Not only, was Trump attentive of America, yet he kept in mind how it was going to affect

Trump’s victory in the U.S elections was an unexpected surprise to many people within the United States and around the world. This millionaire and eccentric businessman who pushed through the presidential race with his unfiltered and colorful rhetoric offending or emboldening certain people is now the leader of the free world. This is no dream, but the reality that the people of the U.S now live in and will endure for the next four years. Trump, a person with little to no political experience and who is often seen as a bigot, racist, misogynist, etc. is leading the United States into an uncertain future that may either spell disaster for the U.S or bring about the success of making “America Great Again” as promised by Trump. Only time will

Donald Trump’s campaign is serious. He built a complete voter base, does not mind being insulted by the media, and, to appeal to more voters, wrote a book titled Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again. The book successfully details his outline for how he will fix America using certain nuts and bolts. The idea of writing a book for conservative, politically active American voters makes sense, as it allows them to study the candidate’s political ideologies in depth without bias on how to interpret them from mass media. Each chapter’s introduction talks about a separate political problem, with the rest of the chapter left to describe how or why the introduction makes sense. Although his explanations may not make sense to the majority of liberals, he still manages to develop logos, in terms of the book, throughout the chapters.

“We’ve had enough Bushes,” his mother, Barbara Bush, observed prophetically before her son announced his candidacy last summer.

Health care is an endless debate in America which has become even more prevalent since Trump’s inauguration. In this political cartoon, the intended audience is the American people. The people and their own well being are what is being affected while Trump carelessly experiments with health care plans that best suit him and not the people. To many, Uncle Sam is a direct representation of the American people and their wants or needs. Therefore, Uncle Sam’s sorrowful demeanor while being debriefed by “Dr.” Trump indicates that the American people are not receiving the proper treatment they deserve.The purpose of this piece is to express that while Trump may be able to dress the part of a leader, or in this instance a doctor, he really does not

Donald Trump announces his candidacy by insulting Mexicans and calling for a ban on Muslims. He went on to say that he would build this wall and MAKE Mexico pay for it. In his SO CALLED outreach to African-Americans, he insulted the Black Community with his disrespectful rhetoric. Trump didn’t stop there. His bullying on twitter against women, a Gold Star Family, the FBI, and people who don’t agree with him had been relentless until his aides took away his twitter account the last few days before election day. In his last debate with Hillary Clinton, he interrupted her by calling her a “Nasty Woman”, simply because she stated that he would pay more taxes under her administration if he didn’t find a way to get out of it. Trump thought because he was rich, arrogant, and egotistical that he could get away with bullying and

Finally, Trump uses multiple metaphors to make very specific points. Trump says, “We are one nation and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny”. As a result, Trump is trying to unify the nation. In a time where the nation feels divided and political parties cannot seem to agree with each other it is important to remind Americans that the country beats with the same heart. Therefore, this statement is meant to leave the nation feeling inspired to work together to face what is yet to come (Trump Inauguration Speech, 2017).

Donald J. Trump outlines his plans to make USA great again through better leadership and action. Too much empty talk, not enough action. We the People are tired of these politicians who talk their way into office and then fail to live up to what they promised. Trump will restore America to its former greatness, a greatness we have not seen since the Reagan years. This book is also a call for the return of genuine patriotism and taking pride in our country. We the People know that USA is the greatest country in the world and we need to put someone in the Oval Office who will actually Lead and put that greatness on display by taking Action.

President Donald Trump announced an extremely important policy that he wanted to an enact… through the popular social media site called Twitter. A summarization of what his tweet means is as follows; Transgender individuals are a disruption to the victory of the military. This message provoked outrage and, consequently, little approval nationwide. In order to formulate his message, President Donald Trump used the tool of rhetorical appeals. As stated by Doug Downs, Aristotle observed that people usually made three kinds of appeals: to logic, to emotion, and to a rhetor’s credibility (Downs 469). Emotional appeals, also called pathos, toy with a reader’s feelings, through the use of manipulative claims, in order to convince the reader of something

Donald Trump attempts to unite the slowly dividing United States by using the emotional appeals of religion and patriotism. Inflicting strong emotions on an audience is one of the most effective appeals of a work of writing, and Donald Trump accomplishes this through two strong rhetorical devices. In order to unite the country, Donald Trump persuasively uses commonalities such as religion to bring Americans a sense of unity. For example, in lines 93-95, he states “The Bible tells us, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity’”. Trump uses a quote from the Bible to show that God wants us to live together in unity because unity can lead to success and cohesiveness among the people. Religion is often something people hold dear to their heart and it influences their lives and decisions greatly; therefore, through the use of the Bible and religion, Trump creates a strong

“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.

“Most statements of “American exceptionalism” presume that America's values, political system, and history are unique and worthy of universal admiration. They also imply that the United States is both destined and entitled to play a distinct and positive role on the world stage. The idea of America-as-model implies that other countries can come to be more like America.” (Walt, 2011) American exceptionalism is alive and well, and these ideas of personal liberty and the American position of the world as seen by this exceptional viewpoint are increasingly important when analyzing Trump’s inaugural

This is in response to the report, “Trump U-turn as Pence assures America’s strong support to EU” (FE February 21), which subtly presents the coyness of a Presidency caught between rhetoric and reality. In the run-up to the historic presidential election, Donald Trump promised the moon to the people, to ‘make America great again’. Among the promises, construction of a great wall on the Mexican border, ban on entry of Muslims, abrogation of Trans Pacific Partnership and North American Free Trade Agreement, pruning of financial support to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, recovery of 4 million jobs to make Americans busy, proposal to cut taxes and annulling the famous healthcare measure, called Obamacare, grabbed attention and admiration.

Since President Abraham Lincoln’s famous second inaugural address nearly 150 years ago it has been a long standing tradition for the President’s inaugural address to present a somewhat ambiguous claim for world transformation and diplomacy. President George W. Bush’s second inaugural address is no different. It set forth President Bush’s ambitious vision of the United States’ role in advancing of freedom, liberty, and democracy worldwide “with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world” (para. 7). In order to persuade his audience to adhere to his arguably over ambiguous goal, President Bush uses a rhetoric strategy that blends elements of ethos and pathos with specific word choice to

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
