A Rhetorical Analysis Of President Trump By David Leonhardt

The most recent presidential election has been one of the most dividing in the history of America. While President Trump won the electoral vote, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, creating a divide in workplaces, schools, and many other public places. The greatest challenges that the President will need to address first are the unity of Americans for the acceptance of all people and the education of young people, as they are the future of our nation.

Epstein chooses his words very precisely to convey his agenda in the article. His use of diction is extremely evident when describing the president. The most obvious use of diction is when he refers to Trump as a plutocrat. By referring to him as such, and not as a businessman or a politician, Epstein is able to contrive a more negative view on trump. To a further extent, the author couples hubris with the word to double down on the negative diction. He states, “President Trump’s first weeks in office demonstrate the hubris of the plutocrat.” Through this diction, Epstein is able to paint Trump as a villain whose money and pride will be the downfall of the country. The author finishes his article with diction that constructs a lasting image, as well as gives one last little push of the

This essay is about how connotation, rhetoric, bias effect an article. The article that I chose for this essay is the LA Times article, “Trump and FDR: Meet the new fears, same as the old fears,” by Ali Swenson. The articles two main points are that Franklin D. Roosevelt and Donald Trump appeal to what people want to do about current issues; and that eople are going against Muslims now the same way that people went against the Japanese in WWII.

There are even more people engrossed in Trump's campaign as his contentious rhetoric is spreading and becoming exponentially obscene. His words foreshadow what he'd do if he were president. My teachers have said that they "don't care" if Trump becomes president because "he wouldn't have any power, thanks to Congress." Obviously, that's false, and as we all have seen, his divisive words have been significantly detrimental to unification in this country - and he's not even in charge. I can imagine how he'd undermine the liberties granted by this country from the start. As he gains more advocates for becoming President of the U.S.A, I'm sure everyone else will be even more surprised by what he has to say because he'll have more leeway for his

“We’ve had enough Bushes,” his mother, Barbara Bush, observed prophetically before her son announced his candidacy last summer.

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.

Friedman directly addresses Trump on his response that his comments were “just words”, employing the use of loaded language such as “bragging” to describe his demeanor during the video. Moreover, a sarcastic tone is used in likening Trump’s repeated use of the phrase “locker room talk” to having “magic powers”. In using such language the author undermines his response, alluding to the audience that his response was a blatant attempt to persuade the public of how he is right, rather than addressing their criticisms. Informally addressing him as “Donald”, Friedman purposefully attacks Trump, knowing that he hates “being addressed by his first name”. The

The logical fallacy detected in the political reading is deceptiveness because George W. Bush isn't telling the whole truth of what's going on in Iraq. He seems to be making light of the situation going on in Iraq, especially considering around the 2003 era which the Saddam Hussein regime and the U.S. invasion for oil, it's very chaotic. Misleading arguments are also seen because Bush is blaming the Iraqi people entirely for tensions, despite the U.S. invasion for oil, a personal gain. Appealing to pity because Bush is asking all American people to take pity but shaming Iraqis, not allowing Americans to take responsibility. For the Nader passage, delusion because of everything that's happening with technology, we have everything at our fingertips

Donald trump is a wedge in the coggs of progress. His inauguration proves that much. He masks divisiveness with a thin film of lies like a blanket draped over a bear. He lies openly and his mindless followers eat it all up like moths to a flame. Yet his style is clear and understandable and his message is clear, as well.

Health care is an endless debate in America which has become even more prevalent since Trump’s inauguration. In this political cartoon, the intended audience is the American people. The people and their own well being are what is being affected while Trump carelessly experiments with health care plans that best suit him and not the people. To many, Uncle Sam is a direct representation of the American people and their wants or needs. Therefore, Uncle Sam’s sorrowful demeanor while being debriefed by “Dr.” Trump indicates that the American people are not receiving the proper treatment they deserve.The purpose of this piece is to express that while Trump may be able to dress the part of a leader, or in this instance a doctor, he really does not

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.

If President Donald Trump’s actions and intents represent the opposite of economic logic, then what would lead 62,979,879 people to vote for him. Trump’s plan for winning has many parts, but for starters, he largely focused on reviving the lower and middle class’ hopes, spirits, and incomes. The first part of this plan regards the specific language that he utilizes when speaking to the non-wealthy Americans. He is notable for repeating statements such as, “America doesn’t have victories anymore” or “they’re laughing at us”. By utilizing statements such as these, Trump is appealing to his audience’s emotions and implementing scare tactics that will place the listener in a frightened state. He then paints himself as the answer to the fears that

The election is over and now more than ever unity as a nation is important. Donald Trump is the 45th president of the United States. The statement leaves a sour taste on our tongue. We stated that we don’t agree with Trump’s policy and behavior; the paper will not go back on it’s word but we recognize that it is the duty of every citizen of this great nation to give the president elect a chance to govern. Then, the people must use the powers of a democratic system to make the government have the constituents interests in mind.

There is nothing subtle about Trump. His statements are bold, or outright lies, and his audience believes him without second thought. He had, multiple times, referenced events that never happened, the size of the crowd in his own presidential inauguration, false claims of his effort; and the list goes on. He’s lying like no one will notice, and when CNN calls him out, he denies the accusations, despite CNN being one of the most trusted presses of all. The Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway dismissed the claims saying that what Trump said were “alternative facts”. Compare this to Orwell’s 1984, where facts are distorted and suppressed in a cloud of

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.
