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.

In his speech, “Remarks by the President in a National Address to America’s Schoolchildren,” Obama effectively argues his claim, that kids should go to school and try very hard to succeed to schoolchildren around the U.S. He effectively argues his claim because he uses supporting details and stories of students that have undergone tough situations, but still overcame those obstacles to succeed and school.

One of supporting evidence that he brought up was that if someone wants to become something such as a doctor, or lawyer you will need a good education to do

In class we have established that the President plays a huge role in our foreign affairs with other countries. It is his responsibility to meet with other world leaders and establish treaties that will benefit all. However, President Trump is without a doubt a man of business rather a man of politics. And when he starts to change the nature of the rules when conducting business with other countries, not everyone is always in agreement.

President Donald Trump had quite the inauguration speech, in his speech he seemed to have a lot of say that a lot of Americans needed to say.

Politicians spend a significant amount of time on the construction of their reputation. The typical politician aims to project themselves as kind, caring, and hardworking, however, Donald Trump has taken a slightly different approach, instead, playing up his success in business. He portrays himself as a winner and an indomitable force, someone who is finally willing to say things as they are. This is quite a stark difference between Mr. Trump and the typical politician.

When a president makes his inauguration speech, it usually talks about what is going on with the country, and illustrates what will be done to fix it. Compared to his predecessors, Trump’s speech was much shorter. I am convinced that he thought that he best thing to do was play it safe in the speech to save himself from all the criticism that he could.

First, he describes how the power will be transferred by saying, "We are not merely transferring power from one administration...to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you." This shows his intentions of making the government more of a direct democracy. He goes as far as to say that the day of his Inauguration is the day that the people will become the rulers of America again.
