The Negative Effects Of Donald Trump's Media Coverage

The Republican Race dominated the media within this election. This republican focus was due to the media/ news reporters main goal: to get a good story, and obviously the person with the most narrative like life was Donald Trump. Even without any competition during the end of the race, Donald Trump still dominated a bulk of the media coverage compared to the democratic race. This journalistic bias was unfair to Hillary Clinton and affected her campaign for the worse. This also proves that America will follow someone with a dominate personality, rather than someone who is well qualified and composed. Due to this fact, it scares me that someone can rise to power by, for lack of a better term, "steamrolling" over other

Donald John Trump is currently one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States in the 2016 election. He is having no trouble winning numerous state caucuses and is currently the leading candidate with the most delegates among his republican peers. In the media, he is a candidate that seems to have the most air time compared to all of his contenders; his saturated exposure can be considered one of the major contributor to his rising popularity. Trump delivers simple but effective rhetoric about tax cuts for the rich as well as the poor, anti-free trade, tough immigration reform, Nationalism, and other topics that naturally draw in support from the average right-winged conservative individual. His crazy

Trump's political successes are in a large part due to what James author of Situating Speech: A Rhetorical Approach to Political strategy “The effectiveness of strategy will partly depend on how a speaker utilizes the prevailing conditions of any speech event (audiences, situations of the time).” In other words, the effectiveness of a rhetorical strategy depends on how the speaker utilizes the times of the day. Which, in modern times requires the persuader to utilize multiple mediums to reach the public. Furthermore the persuader must be able to deal with the constant news

Now depending on what you watch or read you will have a sense of feel on how the media gives people a sense of who that person is. I feel that the media gives non-stop coverage so that they can inform people on who they are voting for. Now Donald Trump is someone that is heavily covered because of the outlandish things that he says. He has said things like Mexicans are bad people

Thesis: Donald Trump has been able to run such a successful presidential campaign as a result of the evolution of the GOP and his clever tactics throughout the race, however if he does get the nomination, then the results would be devastating for the republican party because they would be almost guaranteed to lose the general election and it could even result in the downfall of their party, but in the end, the most interesting thing about Donald Trump’s campaign is how it has shown us just how divided this country is.

In today’s world, the most controversial politician in this era is the president of the U.S. How did Trump possibly get to the point where he was able to lead the republican party, even with overflowing controversy? Can anybody with immense wealth/fortune and/or credible political connections become the frontrunner of the presidential election? Regardless of one’s answer, after this presidential election the outlook on the set up and landscape of politics will change drastically. The accusations of assault, moral dishonesty, and racism towards Trump has brought more turmoil in the political world, feuds among the people, and rambunctious protests within communities than any other presidential election this century. Even though degrading controversy is associated with Trump, he was still able to use highly effective sarcastic and hyperbolic rhetoric, which translated to entertainment, to capture votes and overcome accusations of assault.

The U.S. presidential election of 2016 is one of the most discussed topics of the year. There has been a number of debates contrasting each of the presidential candidates between each other and with previous presidents such as President Barrack Obama. However, the most talked about candidate has been none other than Donald Trump. As well-known business man who was granted a great deal of money from his father, Donald Trump’s presidency campaign was a huge surprise to many people, as he was seen more as an entrepreneur rather than a politician. While speeches and campaigns continued throughout the year, there has been a huge controversy, as Donald Trump has a possible chance of becoming the next President of

He ran against the donor class and against wall street generally. He used being an “outsider” as a virtue. He emphasized that politicians did not know how to solve problems. Trump also ran strongly against the media, which he accused of being treated very unfairly or for being Clinton-biased. All in all, the 69 year old billionaire developed a direct relation to the people without a large professional organization. Last but certainly not least, Trump’s beautiful nightmare- Twitter. The presidential candidate tweeted consistently on topics of wide range. His message was direct, intense, and sometimes hostile or insolent to many

Currently, the media’s coverage of Donald Trump has become one of the most debated topics of the 2016 campaign. The debate centers on how, and how much, media coverage helped Trump as he rose the top of the polls and became the president of our nation. While Donald Trump may have received both positive and negative feedback throughout the course of the election he apparently has had a particular disfavor for negative criticism regarding his viewpoints concerning our country. Often it has been stated by Trump that he views traditional news outlets to be the “most dishonest human beings on Earth” and has exchanged many negative comments regarding their coverage.

Donald Trump is not the only one responsible for what he has created in president elections. “The media made a mistake by covering Trump’s candidacy at the start as some sort of joke or media prank,” notes Danielle S. Allen, a political scientist at Harvard (Kristof, 2016). Donald Trump can’t do it alone in becoming president of American. The people are influencing the politic election. In being a part of the non-serious issues that Donald Trump created made it easy to forget about the real issues our country is currently facing. “The repeated use of references to ‘the Donald’ across all platforms structured the conversation around ironical affection for a celebrity rather than around serious conversation of character and policy” (Kristof,

The media are the founder of Trump presidency. I don't think Trump would have been elected to be our next president, if the media had never gave him the free coverage in the beginning; they planted a seed for Trump to grow in the general election, and I'm sicken by all of the media coverage he has gotten. The media seemed to have normalized Trump, and didn't do enough of good job to stop Trump, from being elected.

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

In this article, from the British Broadcasting Corporation, the author explains what Donald Trump did during his campaign in order to win the presidency. First of all, Donald Trump focused on obtaining votes from states that could be swayed toward the Democratic or Republican side. As a result, Trump received these votes in addition to the typical Republican votes, allowing him to win the election. Donald Trump also spoke his mind no matter what others thought of him. According to the article, this was refreshing for many individuals who were tired of every politician being politically correct and never speaking their mind. In addition, the fact that Donald Trump was an outsider to politics was refreshing, according to the article. Lastly,

In previous elections, presidential candidates have marketed themselves with reputational capital, expressive rhetoric, and catchy slogans to capture an audience, until Donald Trump. Unlike Hillary and her decades of political credibility, Donald relied on his brand name from the multiple Trump hotels and television show, The Apprentice, to achieve marketing recognition among the American people–an unprecedented tactic to be used by a president (Washington Post). Beyond this brand, Trump ushered along his blunt and controversial character–atypical politician attributes–to attract the white-working class in the Midwestern states who found most presidents to ignore their needs. Whether he is featured on broadcasts, debates, or advertisements, Trump uses his loud and energetic personality to preserve people’s focus with short, yet sharp phrasing (Washington Post). For example, “We can’t live like this. It’s gonna get worse and worse. You’re going to have more World Trade Centers. It’s gonna get worse and worse. We can be politically

Using The New York Times news page I found an article asking, “is it possible for Trump to be a good president?” (Painter) This article states many reasons why Trump has made it this far, and why he might have what it takes to be a successful, loved President. Many ask, “what happened on election day?”(Painter) as it was quite shocking that Trump had won the election. Finding sources on the media responding to Trumps positive and smart decisions seems much harder to find rather than negative comments nearly everywhere on news pages. There seems to be tons of the past confrontations, bankruptcies, crimes, and transactions in Trumps records that create a large number of anti-Trump supporters. Although the people may not enjoy it, Trump is still sitting in the
