Donald Trump Speech Analysis

First looking at President Bush’s speech, the overall situation being shared throughout this piece of work is that the incident of 9/11 was a devastating tragedy and we should always remember it as a reason for why we should continue to stay strong and surpass the limit. Although Bush never did say all this, but he reflected the idea in we should never feel at complete sorrow whenever we remember this incident, but instead, feel the need to improve and advance to prevent this act of terrorism. It is never a wise choice to sorrow over a problem and leave it untouched. Ever since the incident of 9/11, the United States of America has excelled and advanced ever since in order to prevent future terror-influenced acts.

On January 28, 1996, the NASA shuttle orbiter mission STS-51-L and the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Orbiter broke apart 23 seconds after its launch, making it one of the most important events in the history of spaceflight in terms of its aftermath on the audience who witnessed the explosion. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, claiming the lives of seven crew members. It was later found that two rubber O-rings had failed because of the cold temperatures on the morning of the liftoff. Family, friends, and millions of T.V viewers witnessed the explosion, which led president Ronald Reagan to address the accident. Reagan planned to give his State of the Union Address, but after learning of the Space Shuttle disaster he postponed it for a week and addressed the nation at the Oval Office late afternoon. By using rhetorical appeals in his address to the nation, Reagan effectively addresses the nation and crews’ families about the explosion while comforting, inspiring, and honoring the views through the use of rhetoric.

Donald trump's diction is one of ruination, one of doom and gloom. He speaks as if the apocalypse is upon us. For example”rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation” His rhetoric make use of anaphora and repetition, like when he is repeating “Together, we will make America strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud again. We will

September 11, 2001 was a tragic part of  history for the United States of America. On September 11,  four planes crashed down by hijackers at the Pentagon, the Twin Towers, and a Pennsylvania field. The Pentagon and World Trade Center were the primary buildings where the Al Qaeda wanted to attack. The White House was another target, however they never made it. Later that night, President George W. Bush gave a speech about 9/11 in the Oval Office. George W. Bush inspired America of their safety and security of his confident tone, religious beliefs,word choice.

In the article, “Donald Trump’s Inaugural Address Was Great”, the author, James Poulos, states that Trump delivered a magnificent inaugural speech. Trump even echoed Bill Clinton’s promise about how no matter what is wrong with America, it can be fixed. Poulos also agreed with Trump about putting the people and our country first. For example, Poulos states, “For Trump, "America first" is once again not a principle of vanity or greed, but of grim necessity.” He also suggests that the people of America can never withdraw from the world in reaction. The character of America colors the character of the entire world, more than any other country. Poulos mentions that the first step to making America great again is

Donald Trump attempts to unite the slowly dividing United States by using the emotional appeals of religion and patriotism. Inflicting strong emotions on an audience is one of the most effective appeals of a work of writing, and Donald Trump accomplishes this through two strong rhetorical devices. In order to unite the country, Donald Trump persuasively uses commonalities such as religion to bring Americans a sense of unity. For example, in lines 93-95, he states “The Bible tells us, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity’”. Trump uses a quote from the Bible to show that God wants us to live together in unity because unity can lead to success and cohesiveness among the people. Religion is often something people hold dear to their heart and it influences their lives and decisions greatly; therefore, through the use of the Bible and religion, Trump creates a strong

President Obama seems to be a contemporary master of Rhetoric, captivating multiple audiences at once while seamlessly following Cicero’s six parts of speech, but to what effect? In 2013 it was imperative that President Obama connected to multiple facets of people. We saw the beginning of a divided America during this time. Today, we only see this country more polarized. It is nearly impossible to get every family member to agree on a political topic, let alone a whole country. In that regard President Obama’s mission look insurmountable. Though, through the organic weaving of his audiences he attempts to accomplish to impossible. Throughout his speech broadcasted to the American public regarding 2013’s Syrian Civil War, President Obama

President George W. Bush starts his speech by acknowledging his intended audience: the Speaker of the Congress, the members of the Congress and the American people. He explains that the main aim of the speech is to address the 9/11 events and so he brings the attention to the widow of Todd Beamer, the American passenger aboard the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 who tried to reclaim the aircraft from the hijackers leading them to crash it into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. He then praises the American solidarity and strength in facing the tragic events and shows gratitude to the nations that have expressed their sympathy with the American people giving examples

Donald Trump recently gave a speech discussing rising Radical Islamic Terrorism, immigration from the Middle East, and a need for a rise in national security while Manchester, New Hampshire on June 13th 2016. He centers his whole speech around discussing how bad a President his opponent, Hillary Clinton, would be in difficult times. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of Finance in 1968 with a bachelor 's degree in economics, and has become a very successful businessman. He’s the Republican nominee for this upcoming presidential election, and is a very controversial candidate and person. He has come under fire for many of his views that he discusses in his June 13th speech. While Trump does make some agreeably points, he renders his speech ineffective because of his heavy reliance on Clinton’s opinion to form his own. If Trump were to become President, his stance on important issues would need to be reached with careful consideration, and not just based on doing the opposite of his opponents.

The isolation of America in relation to other nations will handicap the citizens of our country; however, President Donald Trump suggests this isolation would “make America great again”. Trump first supports this idea by informing the American people what has taken place in this country due to our interventions in other nations. He notes that “for many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry; subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military ; we’ve defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own; and spent trillions of dollars overseas while America’s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay”. He continues,“we’ve made other countries

Finally, Trump uses multiple metaphors to make very specific points. Trump says, “We are one nation and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny”. As a result, Trump is trying to unify the nation. In a time where the nation feels divided and political parties cannot seem to agree with each other it is important to remind Americans that the country beats with the same heart. Therefore, this statement is meant to leave the nation feeling inspired to work together to face what is yet to come (Trump Inauguration Speech, 2017).

Another very effective rhetorical strategy used in this speech is allusion. The first allusion Trump makes is about The Marshall Plan. He mentions the pillars of The Marshall Plan: Peace, sovereignty, security and prosperity. He also states that “The Marshall Plan was built on the noble idea that the whole world is safer when nations are strong, independent, and free.” The reason he alludes to The Marshall Plan is

The purpose of George Bush’s speech is to justify his future military actions and to unite the Americans by appealing to their emotions. Bush used a variety of emotive language and stylistic devices to express his concern over the incident for the audience.

He repeats the idea of America being one unit throughout the majority of his speech. After he belittles Obama’s America, he then develops the idea that America is not a country of subgroups, but one giant family. Trump mentions that the pain the poor and the

Trump calls upon his viewers’ patriotism and sense of duty with a lively, optimistic tone in attempt to unify the country with the goal of eradicating the opioid crisis. He takes advantage of America’s devotion to the future of the country by stating that “we want the next generation of young Americans to know the blessings of a drug-free life.” By emphasizing that the lives of America’s children are at stake, Trump compels the audience to take action themselves in order to secure a better tomorrow for the children of the United States. He then encourages citizens through inspiring diction to better their communities. The word choice “everyday heroes” and guardian angels” glorifies the people who take initiative in their communities. Trump’s glorification of those who go along with his plan motivates others to follow suit in order for them to be considered “heroes” or “angels.” Trump again attempts to unify the nation through an appeal to patriotism and sense of community. He declares, “together, we will face this challenge as a national family with conviction, with unity, and with a commitment to love and support
