Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump's Inaugural Speech

After addressing the nation and thanking the world, President Trump stated, “we, the citizens of America, are joined in a national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise to all its people,” he continued, “we will face challenges and confront hardships, but we will get the job done (Trump).” The point was made very clear that President Trump’s primary objective was to give America back to the people of this great nation and beginning to put

He formally addresses the people of the nation by saying “your tranquility... your peace… your prosperity” all in an effort to create a sense of ownership that can be felt by the people. Repetition combined with encouraging diction gives the American people a sense of pride to have a nation run “by the people and for the people,” just as the constitution states. He continues to expand upon these democratic beliefs in the later part of the speech. He compares the United States to surrounding nations by focusing on how opposing nations are “tied together by similar governments” and how their governments are “inauspicious to liberty.” In this he looks to convey to the American people that they are fortunate to live in a free nation, and not be citizens of a monarchy like that of the nation they freed themselves

This theme of humility rings true throughout his speech, where he establishes that all individuals contribute to a greater good and that democracy, as well as the presidency function as a result of the support of the American people. This theme is integral to others in that, it takes a unified nation that is willing to sacrifice in order to aid the government in forming a better, more prosperous democracy. In a summation of his plea for popular support, Bush adds:

On January 30, 2018 President Donald Trump was applauded as he made his way down the United States Capitol. In the beginning of President Trump's speech he urged both parties, the republicans and democrats, to have an open mind in order to present unity as a nation to the citizens. President Trump wanted to clarify up front “The state of the Union is strong, because our people are strong.” Throughout President Trump’s speech, he addressed many issues present in our nation such as the economic status, immigration, and infrastructure. President Trump also went on a tangent declaring the accomplishments achieved this past year, such as 2.4 million new jobs, lower tax rated for hard working Americans, and trading relationships becoming fair.

Donald trump delivered the greatest hits of Americans motto, from Theodore's Roosevelts doctrine of action to Franklin Roosevelt's admonition against fear. He brought back the tropes of an older America where grinding struggle and reversals of national fortune defined the spirit of the age. He described factories "scattered like tombstones across the land" and lamented supposed plagues of "drugs" and "gangs". I think Donald's trump inaugural Address was great. It defiantly made me support Donald trump more than I was already.

Trump is able to maintain television and social media presence due to his power of ethos. For this speech, he brings up the U.S Trade Policies to the national attention. His supporters believe in Donald trump because he has confident nature. By seeing the audience, I can tell how that they are convinced

President Donald Trump had quite the inauguration speech, in his speech he seemed to have a lot of say that a lot of Americans needed to say. He very clearly pledged his alligence to us Americans, he did not talk about religon and he foccused on America. We need to focus more on America and seek alliance from other countries. He had said that we need to make America great again. There will always be people who disagree with his point of view but that is to be expected about any politionan.

The effect on the audience is essential as his words promise economic prosperity and the people, for economic frustration or other financial struggles, are bound to support his words. Throughout his speech, Mr. Trump creates a distinct nationalistic pride that is meant to motivate the people. To create this nationalistic attitude, he uses the word phrases like “our jobs” “our borders,” “our wealth,” “our dreams” and “American hands and American labor” to summarize in simple short sentences, his economic goals. This nationalistic tone is motivational in nature and is a call to unite efforts and fight for a country that is struggling; To make his call for unity stronger, Mr. Trump utilizes the phrase “We will shine for everyone to follow,” which is a religious reference to the Puritan belief of a City Upon a Hill, to convince his audience that in America “there is no room for prejudice” as they all have the “red blood of patriots.” Trump’s use of vivid imagery is best demonstrated in his futuristic views of the new millennium as he talks about uncovering

President Donald J. Trump’s inaugural speech was quite unique and for the most part inspiring. He addressed ‘the people’ several times and talked about giving the power back to the people. His tone and demeanor gave off a very patriotic vibe that gave listeners the reassurance that even if he wasn't the president you were hoping for he’s very passionate about this country. Instead of President Trump saying ‘I will do this’ or ‘I will do that’ he used ‘we’ instead which gave off the comforting feel that we are all in this together.

By stating, “When America is united, America is totally unstoppable,” Trump is able to show a tone that speaks for all and create trust between him and the American people. This tone that speaks for all allows listeners to understand that Trump doesn’t feel he is any better than the American people, even though he just became our president. This also shows once again why Trump is just your regular businessman as he uses the average man vocabulary. Then, Trump uses repetition constantly throughout his speech in order to show America that “we” as people are in this together: “We will fight, build, follow, reinforce, etc…” This allows Trump’s listeners to feel more of a connection, since he never talks down on them and reminds us that all people are equal no matter what class you may actually be in.

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

To Start off, Trump is Trump. What we’ve seen for the past 18 months is Donald Trump. Remember the debates? He was totally unprepared and cannot back up any of his data and more down the list, but leaving all that side: The speech sounded well written and sounded inspirational even though my standards for him are low. The first thing I noticed was that he kept his character valid as in he managed to not yell out an insult and to speak using intelligible language. He is clearly not a charismatic speaker as previous performances he has given, but he kept it together; However, who cannot read a prompter without any emotion, without any passion. I kept that in mind, there were certain points that got my attention it started when he began his speech.

Around the world, people are anxiously looking toward the United States. Their focus is on the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump. With an unconventional campaign behind him, many are wondering what type of President he will be. Many of his plans are controversial and their effect on the United States unknown.

First off I’d like to start off by pointing out what I didn’t like about this speech. President elect trump started his speech by being very cocky and flamboyant. He talked about how much money he pays his workers in North Carolina and was very arrogant. Although I don’t care for that I know this is how Mr. Trump conducts himself.

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.
