Donald Trump Rhetoric

While viewing Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump speeches’ many would claim that they both have mastered the rhetorical triangle. As candidates, they both have both displayed strong and weak uses of their rhetoric. Aristotle also said that, “rhetoric is basis of democratic engagement in civic life.” Mastering rhetoric to appeal to the voters will be one of the key elements that determines our next president. Donald Trump attempts to use pathos a lot. He tries to play on the audience’s emotions. In one of his most controversial speeches he stated, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs.

In the article “The Brutal Economic Truth Behind the Rise of Trump” Anthony Mirhaydari sides with Donald Trump and discusses how he is a good candidate. He argues that although he may be loud, obnoxious, and have very radical foreign policy ideals he still is not an awful choice. He brings up the quotes, “It's the economy stupid” which was coined by James Carville during Bill Clinton's political campaign while he was running for president. He states how people will gravitate and make their main decisions on the economic policies of each candidate. He understands the self interest in human nature and how people want to secure their own personal economic situation before they deal with foreign affairs such as the immigration problem. People will almost always vote for who will help out their economic situation the best and the author feels that Trump has a solid plan and a good grasp of what the problem is.

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.

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

With the impending election looming closer and closer, the approach of the presidential throne seems to elicit a plethora of opinions on who is the most viable candidate. However, the candidate that has caused controversy at every angle possible is none other than Donald Trump. Famous for his extreme affluence and most notably his TV drama, The Apprentice, President-elect Donald Trump has integrated his unctuous persona into his campaign. The San Diego Union Tribune’s article on Donald Trump, “…Great Power and Greater Irresponsibility”, introduces us with the possibility that Donald Trump is not the “Make America Great American” man he claims to be, and in fact he is the exact opposite. While for some Americans, his aversion to political correctness is admirable and induces a strong support; many are adverse to his social conduct and view his idiosyncrasies polar to the fabric of the Constitution. The article brings forth a target audience of both non-supporters and supporters alike in grave attempt to eradicate this supposed allure of Trump.

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

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.

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.

I will concede that a large portion of the country viewed this election through an economic lens, seeing Hillary Clinton as the antithesis of progressive change. And even if the American public believes his promises about revitalizing the economy, one cannot omit his incendiary language during the campaign cycle. The type of language that has catalyzed white supremacists across the country to feel emboldened enough to throw a parade -- as the Ku Klux Klan has planned to do in North Carolina on December 3rd -- or use Nazi salutes during an Alt-Right conference. Perhaps Trump has no intentions of continuing his inflammatory rhetoric, let alone acting on it. But in the minds of his dedicated followers, he is the impetus of their hatred.

Rhetoric is found virtually everywhere, from billboards to commercial ads on television, it is a part of the 21st century’s daily routine. Communication thrives on rhetoric because it is the foundation of opinion. Without discussion or opinions, life will become dull and uninteresting. Political debates towards the end of presidential elections are predominately a few of the greatest examples of this. By the end of elections, a majority of people have lost interest in the repetition of each candidate, with rhetoric, people become more inclined to tune into their television to listen to two candidates debate.

proves, not everyone is willing to give power to those who would elevate and legitimize right wing rhetoric.

The economy was the most talked about subject during the whole process. On the conservative side, Donald Trump advocated for the destruction of free trade, reduction of taxes, and “bringing back jobs.” Not doing so, he warned, would result in the ultimate collapse of the economy itself. Further, he note on numerous occasions the sorry state that country is in and how the worker is weak. Through his doctrine, they, and by extension the working class, can regain their prominence, if and only if the government allows them to do so.

This election, many people see a solution to this problem through Donald Trump’s political campaign on a platform of “Make America Great Again”. Trump is running, creating new jobs and improving the economy, which appeals to many people who are in the lower and middle classes who have been left behind by economic inequality. Trump’s largest base of support comes from white Americans who do not have a high school degree. This group usually has a very small income, if any at all, because they are less educated. In contrast, those with a college degree have a much easier experience finding work out of college. This means that those without a high school diploma are looking for economic change in order to gain an advantage and proceed with their economic pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. Other groups with large support for Trump are people with mobile homes and “old economy jobs” which are, similarly, groups with lower incomes. Trump appeals to these groups such as the “old economy jobs” because they are losing their jobs as new technology emerges. As “old economy jobs” decline, the demand for new jobs increase; the creation of which Donald Trump endorses. Donald Trump is definitely not a traditional conservative, but he has the ability to attract these groups with his platform through his populist appeal. Thus, a person who is lower in the economic gap would lean towards a candidate such as

Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016, and now has been running our country for over a year. As Trump’s first year in office slowly began, his reputation seems to be creating different outside views of our nation and arguments started producing everywhere. After competing with Hillary Clinton for the presidential term in office, Trump defeated her along with her democratic supporters causing one of the most shocking elections in U.S. history. Using public media web pages, we are reviewing both sides of the argument regarding Trump’s election and we are going to decipher why each arguer supports their side, and why each side is reasonable for the benefit of our country.

The 2016 election was a time for many to feel distressed and anxious for the future of America. Having a criminal to the left and a Bigot to right, left many wanting, or have already drank their lives away to forget how such madness could even take place in the “Greatest Country in the World”. Many topics were brought up for the soon to be leader of the United States; however, one topic was a topic that neither knew as much as the one and only Bernie Sanders.
