Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump Speech

This speech is effective because it is short, sweet, and to the point. The vocabulary used in this speech is not very complex. A speech like this would have to be short or else the president would seem like he is going over the same topic repeatedly. The audience of this speech has a wide variety of people. People from ages five to ages eighty would be watching or listening in

One example is when Bush says, "But they have failed; our country is strong." This, though short and abrupt, was very effective. His tone greatly improved the effectiveness of this speech. President Bush was very particular about his word choice throughout his address to obtain his goal.

Another way that Donald Trump gets his message across is his word choice, also known as diction. One prominent example of his effective word choice is lines 19-20 where announces “That all changes -- starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you”. Trump uses words that convey his message and promise of bringing the power of government and change back to the people. He says “This is your moment: it belongs to you” to show how he thinks of the people first and believes all the success is rewarded to the them, instead of to himself.

On July 21, 2016, at the Republican National Conventions, one of the longest acceptance speeches was given by Donald Trump (USA Today). Clocking in at about an hour and fifteen minutes, Donald Trump’s speech made the crowd chant almost constantly with different facts he threw out, even if the facts weren’t one hundred percent truthful. No matter who he may have appealed to the using logos and ethos, his credibility and honesty were not the finest, destroying the effectiveness.

At the Republican National convention in July of 2016, Donald Trump secured the Republican Nomination for President of the United States. After he was further into the national spotlight as one of two major remaining candidates for president, he had an opportunity to use his increasing number of supporters to further appeal to undecided voters as a viable option, and also had a larger stage to make U.S. voters aware of his opinions and policies. Donald Trump’s Nomination speech uses his larger platform effectively to appeal to fear and patriotism in order to rally his immediate audience, while trying to present himself as a more prepared candidate with his appeals to empathy and logic.

I find listening to and analysing the way Donald Trump speaks very fascinating. He uses a lot of buzz words, he almost exclusively uses words with very few syllables and according to a study made by the Boston Globe the language in his opening speech was only on a fourth grade level. Just like the best salesman he keeps it simple and repeats himself a lot. I’m not sure how much this actually says about Trump himself, but it does say a lot about the people that voted for and supported him.

President Trump began his speech by assuring the people of the United States that they will regain control of the government, they will no longer be forgotten, and their voices will be heard. He jabbed at current politicians, accusing them of being “all talk and no action,” and ensured that those days have come to an end. Trump attempted to reach out to Americans from all walks of life, referencing children in inner-cities, the unemployed, and the world of drugs. He continued his destructive criticisms of the functions of the government and only presented vague and idealistic goals in exchange.

In the speech, Obama gives expectations of restoration of peace to the American public. The speech was very straightforward when speaking about issues that were directly affecting America at the time. The speech given on a cold day in Washington, DC used many forms of rhetoric. It consisted of perfectly arranged points which enabled the best possible outcome. Key points were organized strongly and were timed flawlessly to last the entire speech. He also repeats certain phrases throughout the speech like “for us”, to display that he identifies himself as a citizen, different from no other.

He talked about how America has helped foreign industries growing at the expense of our military; that our military has defended the borders of other nations while we have failed to protect our own borders. Moreover, he went on to criticize our spending on re-building other nations while our national infrastructure is decaying. He suggested that the wealth of the middle-class family went towards our military spending and into re-building other nations. At the end of the section of the speech Trump promised the people that those days of giving other nation aids are over and that it’s going to be America first.

President Barack Obama’s campaign theme in 2013 was to bring change throughout the United States, and he continues on with this motto while thanking the American people.He does this by stating the change he plans to bring,how he will bring change, what he values,and the importance of peace and unity. President Obama is addressing all of american people that voted for and against him,by continuously referring to them as a team.He wants them to keep in mind he plans to work with them on several issues rather than stick to his own opinions. Bringing up several well known quotes and facts about america 's creation allows him to be well understood,as well, as his use of imagery and/or pathos.Including all aspects of the rhetorical triangle,mostly pathos,allowed President Obama to successfully persuaded the American people that he will be a leader that brings change.

The majority of Trump's speech depended on pathos. This would work well with very emotional thinking audience members but would not be convincing to someone very logical. Trump failed to explain how and when he would do everything he was promising to do. Not to mention he never used data, quotes or any credible sources to back up his talk. As a whole Trump's speech consisted of empty promises with no credible data or explanations to back up what he spoke

I recently watched a speech made by the President of the United States, Donald Trump. This speech was made during his campaign before he won the election. I watched the speech in order to understand the strategies he implements in order to win the attention of his audience. My goal isn’t to look at this speech from a political perspective, but to look at it from an unbiased view. I consider an unbiased voter anyway, as I have to political affiliations, so this was easy. In this paper, I will analyze why Donald Trump is actually an expert at persuasion.

Trump recently returned to the United States from a 12-day trip across Asia and gave a speech, which did not contain the major statement he previously said it would, stating that his ‘America First’ foreign policy has restored a global respect for the United States that did not exist under past presidents. Trump also stated that he “united the world against North Korea” and also argued for more mutually beneficial trade with countries like China, as he believes current trade patterns are harmful to America’s interests. Critics argue that Trump is too distracted by flattery from foreign leaders to focus on the issues, and Trump himself made more statements

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.

He begins with,”...We are one nation,and their pain is our pain,their dreams are our dreams,we share one nation,one home and one glorious destiny…” this proving he gives a hopeful and motivational tone at the same time for the public and other countries to see him becoming a new president of America. As well using anaphora to bring that hopeful and motivational to the people like as “one” for each word beside it. Another one he uses satire that he establishes in his address such as, “...I will fight for you with every bone in my body and I will never ever let you down…” proving that motivational tone as well to he sends off for the people during that day as well being sarcastic in the end. After these kinds tones he uses, he had settled in his speech was the simple and detailed syntax with few rhetorical
