Rhetorical Analysis On Donald Trump

There are differing opinions from all, but most feel that immigration is a key issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Trump has been increasingly brash with his position on immigration reform. Going as far as to call children born to illegal aliens “anchor babies”. His immigration policy also calls for three core principles: a nation without borders is not a nation, a nation without laws is not a nation, and a nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation. (MLA) Along with these core principles Trump believes that Mexico should pay for the wall that he will build between the two countries, stating that “the annual cost of free tax credits alone paid to illegal immigrants quadrupled to $4.2 billion in 2011.” He also wants to triple the number of ICE officers and have better cooperation between local, state, and federal law enforcement. There are other policies he wishes to implement such as: defunding sanctuary cities, deporting all criminal immigrants, and increasing penalties for persons who overstay their visa. Last but not least, Trump wishes to ignore the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship for children who are born to illegal aliens. He has affectively ruined any support that he may have had from the latino

Trump is a name with a lot of history and a lot of connotation that only continues to grow as Donald Trump runs his presidential campaign. With all the backing that he proclaims, Trump still shows alarming qualities for a man that could be rising to power. He shows inconsistency which alludes to a weakness of character that makes him a poor presidential candidate. He is widely known for his aggressive arrogant ideas, which appeals to come people, but major concern arises from Trump being unable to defend his own ideas and, when he is questioned about them, he turns tail and flip-flops his opinions. Being able to clearly and concisely present ideas and then defend them seems like an elementary concept of how to build a solid platform, yet it

Conservative dignitaries, friends and Distinguished speakers of this year’s Conservative political action conference… I want to first say thank you for inviting me to speak… It is not only an honor but will be the highlight of my life to not only address some of our party’s rank and file but, to also place emphasis on our core principles and just what it is that makes us conservatives.

In November 2016, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. With a campaign centered around otherization and nationalism, the atmosphere of this election, as well as the attitudes of the citizens of the country, bears similarities to 1930s Nazi Germany. While it may initially seem far-fetched to compare Donald Trump 's election to Adolf Hitler 's rise to power, both campaigns utilize nationalistic, racist sentiment and a fear of the "foreign other" to gain power within the country. Moreover, both campaigns utilize propaganda and the media in their own way to generate hatred and fear to further their own goals. I will argue that these tactics used by Donald Trump has inspired numerous acts of hatred, and that any person who is not a white male has a reason to fear Trump 's presidency.

The intensity of politics and issues in the United States has only been strengthened as extremist groups grow and find security in our country's leaders. Neo-Nazi's and other white supremacy groups find solace in politicians on the right, including Trump, whereas leftist groups pushing for safety and equality are the ones being silenced.

Throughout the their article “Donald Trump, Abortion Foe, Eyes ‘Punishment’ for Women, Then Recants” by Matt Flegenhiemer and Maggie Haberman analyzed Donald Trump recent comments the he made recently about his feelings about abortion. While I wasn’t surprised to hear this come out of Donald Trump mouth, I was slightly surprised of the reaction that came out of it. Especially from his opposing candidates and anti abortion settlements. I did find it interesting that his opposing candidates had something to say against it, even though all of the Republican candidates are strongly pro-life. So that does that even make a case? Not really.

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

When brought up the discussion of sexually assaulting women Donald Trump used red herring to avoid the topic. Trump apologizes apathetically, "Yes, I'm very embarrassed by it, I hate it, but it's locker room talk and it's one of those things -- I will knock the hell out of Isis." (7:30-7:39). In the first place he doesn't address what "it" is that he is apologizing for, whether it is his words or actions. Furthermore, he had moved straight into the issue of Isis to redirect the crowd into new discussion: however, it didn't work because Anderson Matthews had brought back the subject. Then, Clinton uses a pattern of three to convey how she and many others felt on the subject. Clinton powerfully states, "Donald talking about women, what he thinks

This political cartoon about Trump uses many rhetorical devices to relay a message to anyone who would so care to look at this particular ad about him having allegedly stolen Putin’s shirt.  I believe that the author of this political cartoon was trying to persuade to believe Trump is a bad candidate for the presidency by showing us he has ties with the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.  Do to this persuasion; the effectiveness of this passage is greatly achieved using logos and pathos because it explains how terrible it is to let the leader of the free world have a great relationship with the country that cannot stand us, Russia.

President Trump started his discourse with a gesture to the respectful rights development and Dark History Month, utilizing uniquely diverse talk from his campaign. In the months driving up to the race, Trump started inquiring the explanatory address to dark voters — before overwhelmingly white gatherings of people — “What the hell do you have to lose?” He painted a picture of dark neighborhoods as wracked with destitution, wrongdoing and schools that are “no good,” as he put it. Trump’s words were completely criticized by numerous African-American pioneers as harsh and an out of line depiction of their communities. In spite of that feedback, Trump beated 2012 GOP chosen one Glove Romney among dark voters. In his discourse

In this article, Martin explains how Donald Trump’s inclusion into the race and his increasingly racist attacks on minority groups is worrying Republicans. His recent statements regarding Hispanics and Blacks have been highly controversial, and while his favorability rating is extremely low among those demographics, 15% respectively, Donald Trump still leads by a large margin in the polls. Republican party leaders do not believe he will win the nomination, but his attacks have drawn the Republican talking points to the right. Just last week, Trump attacked Jeb Bush for speaking Spanish on the campaign trail, and August 29th he criticized recent attacks on the police in regards to the recent Baltimore riots. Other Republican nominees, hoping to grab some of the primary voters from Trump, have begun attacking the two largest minorities in the United States. Ted Cruz recently spoke about the Houston deputy who was killed, where he said Obama was to blame for the shooting, and that the President was also responsible for the recent rioting in Baltimore. Ted Cruz has not been the only nominee to follow Trump’s success. Even Jeb Bush, who is married to a Mexican-American immigrant, has been attacking immigration policies, especially birthright

To start off, Donald Trump has taken into account that using fear as a tactic to help further him along in the election is right way to go. According to the article The Politics of Fear: Why Donald Trump is no Laughing Matter it states, “After all, the United States is a country that is often moved by fear and hatred, rather than love for fellow citizens” (Anderson, William). It has shown all throughout our history that fear is a way to get the people to listen and

In future posts, I may address the rise of the alt-right — the new species of young conservatives, white nationalists and anti-semites, united by their support for Donald Trump, that has been swarming and wreaking havoc in Twitter and

With the erosion of the Anglo-Saxon race . The American demography has changed rapidly against the race of its founder. The white Christian America is fast becoming the minority and these transformations have been interpreted through two presidential elections won by Barack Obama who is from African and Islamic roots. And now, the Anglo-Saxon people feel that it is the right time to respond. Something dark and horrible is emerging from the Anglo-Saxon supporters of “Trump” . This is hatred, from the white and conservative population, who feel they are

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.
