There is no one reason that can explain President Donald J. Trump's controversial, but enduring appeal; however, the combination of charisma and a powerful message (i.e. “Make America Great Again”) were some of the greatest contributors to the success of his 2016 Presidential campaign. Donald Trump’s bold and non-politically correct approach to politics, along with his charismatic personality appealed to many Americans, and his campaign slogan of “Make America Great Again,” made many American’s feel nostalgic, because it allowed them to attach their own individual perception of when they felt America was at its greatest.
A Powerful Message
A good campaign slogan is an important factor to consider when running for President. According to the

In order to change the mind of someone, something big needs to happen to grab their attention, and what better way to do so than doing something unexpected and/or outrageous. For President Trump, any press is good press, which means to him there’s no such thing as bad press; therefore, unexpected and outrageous are part of his charismatic persona that many people seem to flock to.
President Trump’s charisma is a key reason for why he has been so effective in capturing the focus of Millions in the United States and even Billions worldwide. President Trump is always changing. Just when people think they’ve begun to understand him (i.e. what he might say or do), he often does something to prove their assumption wrong. During the election, whenever the media attention would start to deviate from Donald Trump, some sort of a new controversy would suddenly arise, (e.g. like with his plan for a temporary travel ban from countries that were predominantly Muslim, dubbed the “Muslim Ban”), which directed the media right back onto himself. Whether intentional or not, President Trump’s controversies essentially drowned out his competition during the election, detracting all the attention from his more experienced political
Studies show that about 69% of highschool studies graduate. Recently Donald Trump, businessman and television personality was elected for president, and his whole slogan was “Make America Great Again” which he put on hats. This slogan has to do with him wanting to increase employment and a big way to do that is by more people getting through school. The message of the political cartoon I chose is that if you are able to get a good enough education you will be able to become successful in life. The cartoon portrays this message through the use of many different rhetorical devices. The first device the cartoonist uses is symbolism. The cartoon uses the hat to symbolize graduation from school. This ties back to the message of if you are able to
Donald Trump is our absolute last hope for not just the United States of America but the entire world.
Donald Trump is a businessman and owner of his own company. He could also could be the Republican Party nominee in this year’s presidential election. His plans on addressing immigration, fight trade agreements, and propose ban immigration to the United States from countries with a history of terrorism, until the government does a better job to get rid of potential terrorists. His statements in interviews and at campaign rallies have been controversial. They bring rallies that have protests riots and violence.
Trump began posting extreme messages to stand out from other candidates during the election and still posts intense content to create more attraction in his presidency. As a matter of fact, the article “How Marketing Helped Donald Trump Win the 2016 Election.” agrees when it states that “Trump created and communicated an offering “value” of delivering change in exchange for the risk and time “price” voters paid to consider voting for him. Trump’s communication plan used the campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” to resonate with groups or target markets of people he wanted to reach…”. Essentially, Trump would post messages that would promote such as building a wall and creating a travel ban to prevent illegal immigration. He made more risks to achieve his goal of winning more people over by targeting
America is often touted as the “land of the free,” promising to provide equal opportunity to every citizen regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or religion. This, however, is a fairly new narrative, and still under construction. When pondering what it means to be American, I can hardly help but think of Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” and wonder who defines the term “great,” and from whose perspective that has been true throughout the country’s history. It was not true for Native Americans pushed off their land, slaves in antebellum society, women who weren’t allowed to vote or attend school, Japanese citizens during encampment, segregated black Americans, the LGBT community leading up to the Stonewall Riots, or
Also, Donald Trump never misses an opportunity to present his ethos in public. For instance, at the Republican National Convention, he says that he is a person who managed to make billions of dollars, therefore he can make America rich again by means of relieving it from unfavorable trade agreements. The structure of a speech as well as the complexity of the language have a great impact on ethos of a particular candidate. The fact is that short, fragmented and easy to understand sentences reach minds much more quickly and efficiently than long and complex ones. According to a famous author James Perloff, a president would be much more popular at the other side of the TV screen if using short, not complicated and easy to understand words and
“Make America Great Again” has been the slogan that President-elected Donald Trump has used throughout his campaign. The “Make America Great Again” is a campaign slogan used in American politics that originated with Ronald Reagan campaign in the 1980s. The slogan was created in 1979, when the United States was suffering from a failing economy. The slogan was also used by former President Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign, although he later claimed the statement was a racist dog whistle during the 2016 election. He believes that when this slogan is mention, people come sliding in for support. In many cases, they don’t really know why they support a certain individual. This paper will look at how Donald Trump can become the “Make America Great Again” President. The paper will begin by looking at environmental policy. The paper will focus on Congressional relations. The third paragraph will look at how Donald Trump can “Make America Great Again” through the use of education. Finally, the paper will highlight on how all these strategies depend upon political will.
This past election has caused a division between the people of America. The results of the popular election were almost split. Donald Trump popular vote ended at a 46.4 percent vote and his opponent, Hillary Clinton, ended with 48.5 percent.Because of the number of electoral votes, Trump was able to win his seat in office as the President of the United States. Half of the country responded with content while the other half mourned. The newly elect presidents controversial character won him the hearts of these content people while his questioning ways aroused anger in others. This election caused heated tension between these two groups of people. As response to this, Donald Trump's inauguration speech tried to convey a message of unity through
Trump was able to capture a massive amount of the population with his down to earth, “fake new” findings, and “Make American Great” campaign. Regardless of if what Trump tweeted, everyone paid attention to what he said on twitter. He controlled the media with his charismatic authority (Kendell 2016:403). While what the candidates do throughout the election, people also are politically socialized to hold certain values and vote a certain
The 2016 Presidential Elections are right around the corner and many Americans are waiting until their votes are counted to find out who will be the President of the United States of America for the 2016-2020 term. All across America, the presidential candidates are attempting to get your support and to get your vote, but do these candidates really want to rebuild America and make this country great again? In these races there are many highly qualified candidates who want to grab your attention and address specific topics where they feel they are more qualified than their fellow candidates. Throughout all of the candidate’s campaigns, you have probably noticed many advertisements, posters and commercial’s with the contenders trying to gain your vote by accusing other candidates for failures or stating how they are “going to rebuild America.” The Republican and Democratic primaries are coming up in a month’s time. The Democratic Party is more straightforward with Hillary Clinton as the front-runner with Burney Sanders following behind. The Republican Party is more spread out with various candidates including Donald Trump (the front-runner), followed by Dr. Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich and Rand Paul. Donald Trump, the leading candidate for the Republican Party, follows two goals stated in the Preamble of the United States Constitution: provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.
From that moment of combustion, it became clear that Mr. Trump’s views were matters of dangerous impulse and cynical pandering rather than thoughtful politics. Yet he has attracted throngs of Americans who ascribe higher purpose to him than he has demonstrated in a freewheeling campaign marked by bursts of false and outrageous allegations, personal insults, xenophobic nationalism, unapologetic sexism and positions that shift according to his audience and his whims.
He is leading the polls by far. That shows the public how great he would be as the ruler of the free world and why we should all vote for him. (Bandwagon Appeal). Donald Trump has also been outspoken about how the politics in the nation aren't exactly the best. He has most importantly attack the USA current President. He could even make his point by saying Obama is a horrible president because of the expansion of ISIS, The Oregon Shootings and the decline of the Chinese stock market. (Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc). What I'm trying to say is Donald Trump needs to win the 2016 election. He is a Billionaire (Circular reasoning). And to the people that say he should be more diplomatic, I deeply disagree. Donald Trump should not watch his words because everything he says is pretty much accurate. (Begging the question). It doesn't matter if he's speaking out against Putin, Iraq or even ISIS. Even if he angers them and starts a nuclear war at least he's being honest and speaking the truth. That is what a real politician should be doing. Simply put. Politics are just just like a business. Since Donald Trump is an amazing businessman, he can also be an amazing politician (Faulty
What is noteworthy about his campaign is that Donald Trump ran his differently from the average politician. Trump both acted differently and spoke of people in whichever manner he pleased. Surprisingly, American’s thrived off of his ability to stand tall and remain true to himself. The main argument in this election between Clinton and Trump supporters was how they were more offended by Clinton’s actions than Trump’s words. No matter what Trump said, his followers still thought of him in a positive manner.
There is an evaluation that his way of communication is shifted to one side, but he thinks that he pioneered his own field (social network). The difference between the rhetorical language used by Obama and the language used by Trump transforms public opinion and allows for diverse approaches in constant controversy. Problem-solving through a variety of approaches is positive, but sometimes you may have to face the controversy about the problem. For example, Trump accepted some media such as CNN against him as malicious. Personally, Trump might have felt like that, but he should not forget what he's doing now. The social services that Trump uses are also emphatic tone, which is causing the disruption of the public. Various interest groups lobbying for the trump may be able to do more bold lobbying to attract his attention, and the various measures created in this process may be more extreme than
