Trump's Role In Politics

The recent election of 2016 shows that artifice is essential in winning voters. Donald Trump, throughout his campaign, displayed an image of himself that people would perceive as “tough” and “strong”. The image of Trump as a reality TV star made him more likable by Americans. Trump spoke openly to people's economic stress, cultural fears and the disillusion with politicians. He promised to “bring

How did Donald Trump appeal to the public? First, Trump emphasized on Clinton’s weaknesses such as her e-mail scandal. The result of the scandal resulted in a loss of trust for Clinton, by voters (Cristina Silva, para. 3). Second, Trump stayed confident during the race and never let his guard down. Trump got the attention of voters by being bold and demanding change (Cristina Silva, para. 4). Third, Trump had learned how to communicate with the public through his career on television. He could use what he learned from being on television to get publicity during debates and on other news networks. (Cristina Silva, para. 5). Fourth, Trump was well known before the election. The people who were well aware of Trump before the election tended to vote for him (Cristina Silva, para. 6). Fifth, Trump had enough money to self run his campaign and the extra donations helped in developing a new standard for campaigning (Cristina Silva, para. 7). Sixth, Trump appealed to voters with his plans on immigration and stopping Muslims from coming into the country. He taught civilians on how immigration is disruptive in our communities (Cristina Silva, para. 8,10). Seventh, Trump’s success as a businessman gave voters the impression that he will be a successful president (Cristina Silva, para. 11). Eighth, Trump gets points across with ease because he doesn’t use complicated words, making his plans easy to understand (Cristina Silva, para. 14). Ninth, Trump tells things how they are and is honest about what he thinks. Voters see him as a trustworthy candidate (Cristina Silva, para. 15). Tenth, Trump reached out to voters. During his campaign he went far and wide to spread what he had to say out to voters. He would also go off script in order to make his speeches more meaningful and from the heart (Cristina Silva, para. 19-20). Eleventh, Trump fought for swing states by visiting the mixed

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

After listening to the panel of professors speak at the SCAD Keynote Event, "Explaining the Trump Phenomenon: Interdisciplinary Perspectives", I learned a variety of perspectives on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. These perspectives were on different topics, including how he gained his supporters, his economic policies and other policies, what could happen if he becomes president, and much more. First, Trump’s popularity was definitely a surprise to a lot of people. Many of the panelists believe that he gained his supporters by shining light on some of our nation and government’s hidden problems. So he ultimately used fear to gain voters. One professor showed a poll showing that an overwhelming majority of people voting for Trump

Similar to McCain in 2008, Trump lacks “a coherent message, organizational skills, and a crisp high striking strategy” (Heilemann, Halperin 42) yet has had major success in spite of this. His supporters see strength through his words and character, but similar to Obama, “he needs a plan to change the game” (Heilemann, Halperin 118) in order to take down Hillary. Trump has not actually shown the American people a plan to grow the economy, eliminate ISIS, or reform health care, but instead hides behind his slogan that he will “Make America Great Again.” Even though Trump has advanced far without giving citizens concrete steps to stir change within our country, Trump must realize “with no strategy and no message,” there is “no path to victory” (Heilemann, Halperin 226). Statements such as building a wall between America and Mexico, deporting millions of illegal immigrants, and keeping Muslims out of the country, do not serve as sufficient answers to the immigration crisis our country faces. His campaign must “be about a cause greater than self” (Heilemann, Halperin 298), and by developing a clear focus with set goals for the future of our nation and explicit steps to get there, Trump can earn the trust of Americans giving them a slogan to truly believe

400 days remain until the United States of America selects it's next leader, but the election cycle is in full swing. complete with its classic surprises. All eyes have been on the momentum of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, who seeming came out of no where to rocket in the polls, the former to become the front runner in the GOP race. They're near polar opposites politically, yet they've shocked their respective parties and left the early favorites sweating. These early favorites, Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, have been trending in the opposite direction. What's the key to their success and demise? How genuine they are.

The elections of 2016 are a portrayal of both unrest and aspiration for the political future of the United States of America. The 2016 elections are possibly both unorthodox and most controversial. Spurred through social media, this year’s elections are grabbing everyone’s attention, both globally and nationally. Out of the twenty three candidates, only two remain: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump, specifically, has shocked the citizens of USA with his blunt and piercing opinions. Because of his bold character, he remains a recognizable political figure. Though his statements may not seem to be premeditated, his thoughts are original and most importantly, supported with evidence and logic.

The 2016 political campaign has shown a series of debates and commentaries that tend to show the different personalities or character of each candidate: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Each candidate has his or her own rhetoric way in trying to grasp an individual’s vote. Hillary, for example, uses her role as a woman to try to convince women that she’s on their side. Donald Trump, on the other hand, uses the fact that he’s a business man to try to assure constituents that he has a plan to lower the national debt; though, that is not all Trump does to get the public’s attention.

November 7, 2016. Many people remember this day as voting for the lesser of two evils in the 2016 presidential election. But, it didn’t matter who you voted for, the outcome of the election shocked the nation. Almost every poll predicted that Hillary Clinton would win the presidential election, but Trump proved them all wrong. After researching the analysis of the 2016 presidential election, some of the most compelling theories on why Trump won the election was the low election turnout, the desire for an outsider, and Trump’s simple message.

Donald Trump’s win in the recent Presidential campaign is probably one of the greatest paradoxes in the recent political history of the US. On the one hand, he was the candidate unwanted and criticised by everyone, including the Republican Party, which has actually nominated him as the President. On the other hand, his very controversial sayings and ideas has drawn the public attention and public support to him and revived nostalgic feelings of many Americans about traditional American values and return of America to its greatness.

Since Mr. Trump started his campaign to become the next president, most people took him as a complete joke. Many people did not think that he would make it far enough. Although, many people thought that it was a great idea to have such a high profile multi-millionaire run for president. They believed that he would really “make America great again”. Others, like myself were astonished at the joke and mockery this man was making out of everyday people. Most of us began to feel fear for the future. Not only were we scared for the future but we were scared of the unknown.

Regardless of a person’s political affiliations, one thing everyone can agree on is the success of the Republican candidate for president, Donald J. Trump. To a casual observer of Trump’s campaign, it may have looked like the entire process was chaotic and lacked unity; however, it was far from that. Donald Trump realized early on that he was not a politician and instead of lamenting on that fact, he turned it into a selling point. Trump used prior fame, unreasonable policies and misdirection to gain the vote of the largest voting demographic, the white Midwest working class.

Discrimination is alive and well in our society. Immigrants, Islamists, and refugees have been the center of political controversy. In particular, Donald Trump has initiated a vicious assault on these people in order to achieve a political advantage. It is unfortunate that some who are regarded as "well-educated" in our society seem to fail to understand that the actions of radicals cannot act as causation in order to accuse an entire race of terrorism or rape. Concern for safety and scrutinizing an entire population do not go hand-in-hand. It is, in fact, possible to improve border control without making bigoted statements about those who are crossing it. Taking an extremist position to elicit a laugh, to pander to fear, or to make a point

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

Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders; all renowned names due to the US presidential race, but by far the most controversial name involved in the race is Donald Trump. This republican candidate has been discussed and debated over due to what many call radical views. Throughout the race, Trump has become famous for his boisterous comments and remains the leading presidential candidate.
