Rhetorical Analysis The main point about this article is that people who hate Donald Trump should at least give him credit for what he has done right. According to Thomas, most Trump-Haters tend to look at Trump's awful personality, rather than the “result.” Thomas uses rhetorical devices to grab the reader's attention to the article. He wants to make the people who hate Trump to understand that not all that he has done is terrible, and that he should be given credit for the ‘results.’ The author uses many logical reasonings to explain why the haters of Donald Trump should give him credit for what he has done.
There are many reasons why you should give Trump credit. In the ten months that Donald Trump has been in office, he has made some remarkable changes. In the article, Thomas explains that President Donald Trump, himself, has said that the stock markets have skyrocketed. In the last seventeen years, unemployment has been the lowest it has ever been; the unemployment among blacks and those who are in need of food assistance has also decreased. Not only has he done that, referring back to Thomas, “ISIS has been ousted from its last stronghold in Syria” (Thomas “Can Trump-Haters Be Thankful for Him?”). Although Donald Trump did engage many rules to keep the U.S. Military from fighting a losing battle. Former U.S President Barack Obama should receive partial credit because he began the process by bombing the ISIS targets.
“We’ve had enough Bushes,” his mother, Barbara Bush, observed prophetically before her son announced his candidacy last summer.
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
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
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
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.
The author uses very persuasive language in an aggressive manner to get the reader to agree with their negative views of President Donald J. Trump. The author makes a proposition of value judging Trump and expressing their view of the president. Many fallacies and rhetorical devices are used throughout the article to persuade the reader, with every reason being opinion based. With every opinion coming from the authors view, a lot of manipulative language is used to generally show Trump as incapable of running the country. Throughout the article, many insults appeal to ignorance and depict Trump as unqualified and uninterested. Once the negative image is painted, the author puts in to place false dilemmas with no positive outlook for Trump.
Donald trump is a very successful businessman and Republican nominee for President; he has attracted many people towards himself, some happy with him and some with hatred for him. The author explained how Trump was under heavy criticism when he wrote “Trump came under heavy criticism when he attacked Khizr Khan, the father of U.S. Army captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq.” Not only did Trump attack Khizr he also insulted their religion, which caused anger throughout the country. Khan, who is a captain in the U.S. Army responded by criticising him about banning Muslims from entering the U.S. and gave out an emotional speech against Trump. Donald Trump criticising Khan was not the only time he dishonored American heroes, but he also
Donald Trump announces his candidacy by insulting Mexicans and calling for a ban on Muslims. He went on to say that he would build this wall and MAKE Mexico pay for it. In his SO CALLED outreach to African-Americans, he insulted the Black Community with his disrespectful rhetoric. Trump didn’t stop there. His bullying on twitter against women, a Gold Star Family, the FBI, and people who don’t agree with him had been relentless until his aides took away his twitter account the last few days before election day. In his last debate with Hillary Clinton, he interrupted her by calling her a “Nasty Woman”, simply because she stated that he would pay more taxes under her administration if he didn’t find a way to get out of it. Trump thought because he was rich, arrogant, and egotistical that he could get away with bullying and
Donald Trump, a once controversial political candidate, gave his 2017 Inaugural address on January 20th, 2017 when he was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States. Through appeals such as syntax and diction, religion and patriotism, and logic, Donald Trump was able to generate a unifying speech toward his audience. Amidst the growing violence and repercussions of the 2016 election, Donald Trump, in his 2017 Inaugural address, sends the message that he will put America and its citizens first to unite the country and change America for the better.
As he continued with his explanation he began to use the straw man fallacies. Somehow the conversation shifted from generating jobs to China devaluing currency. He “claims” that China is using us to rebuild their country and continues to say that we have no politicians to fight their actions. It is completely off topic but yet he also does this again where he brings up child care out of nowhere and persists to give irrelevant statements that lingers the initial question. Donald Trump uses a particular rhetoric appeal to persuade his audience which I believe to be pathos. For example: during certain segments of his claims the inflation in his voice rises when he attempts to counter a claim. Pathos refers to using emotiono to get your point across and that is all Donald Trump would exhibit. Trump would interrupt and/or overspeak Hillary
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.
Inauguration day marks a new beginning. Every four years, Americans officially welcome a new president. Each president has to address the plans, goals and ideas for the future. Therefore, the inaugural speech is meant to be an emotional and hopeful ceremony for all Americans. The inaugural speech sets the tone for the president’s first weeks in the white house. Ideally this speech will encourage those who voted to believe and trust that the right leader is in the office. On January 20, 2017 Donald Trump gave his inaugural speech and through the use of hyperboles, repetitions, and metaphors he aimed to unify the nation and give hope for the future.
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.
George Walker Bush, born July,6,1946, served as our 43rd president of the United of the republican States from 2001 to 2009. He ran as a republican candidate, and is a member of the party. A sequence of terrorist attacks occured during Bush’s presidency on September 11, 2001. On that morning, terrorist hijacked four commercial passenger jet airlines. They crashed two of the airlines into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. they killed many husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters. They crashed a third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington. They crashed a fourth plane into a field in rural Pennsylvania.
Despite being known as the constant underdog to his opponent, the misleading fake news, and his stressful past that surfaced: Trump was elected the 45th President on the night of November 8, 2016. By overcoming the odds, Trump can be viewed a fighter who will never be known as a failure. These specific actions have inspired me because this result is a perfect example of why to never quit. Instead of being a person who quits because difficult situations are interfering with the process of becoming successful, Trump became a positive example of what is earned when becoming a fighter. In addition to inspiring myself to never give up, Trump ran for a political office when he himself had absolutely no political experience. The key feature of this is that Trump has taught me that no matter what the circumstance is, I can always become whatever I set my dreams towards. This inspires me because it teaches me to push more boundaries to a further extent to help me better my future and
