Donald Trump’s campaign is serious. He built a complete voter base, does not mind being insulted by the media, and, to appeal to more voters, wrote a book titled Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again. The book successfully details his outline for how he will fix America using certain nuts and bolts. The idea of writing a book for conservative, politically active American voters makes sense, as it allows them to study the candidate’s political ideologies in depth without bias on how to interpret them from mass media. Each chapter’s introduction talks about a separate political problem, with the rest of the chapter left to describe how or why the introduction makes sense. Although his explanations may not make sense to the majority of liberals, he still manages to develop logos, in terms of the book, throughout the chapters. For example, chapter eleven is titled “The Right to Bear Arms.” In the first paragraph, Trump specifies that he believes the second amendment should be interpreted as it is (very conservative belief), and that Americans have the …show more content…
America, along with its commitments, needs to “stand behind [its] word, and make sure [that the] word stands up” (Trump 138). This means that we need to take back control and never step back. Compromises should be kept to a minimum, and strong leaders need to take control in Washington (Trump 139). These leaders can be attracted by creating an exciting atmosphere for them to work in, as opposed to a failing government which only a bare minimum of Americans have the heart to try to fix (Trump 140). America needs to increase its power, successfully, military-wise (Trump 137) and financially. This will allow the country to start winning all the time by continually starting at the top of every race, and will force other countries to see it as a serious and strong national
“The Limit of Trumpism,” discusses how Trump’s agenda has kept him in the presidential election. Many have tried to follow his agendas but have caused them to lose the primaries. The article also demonstrates the limits to Trump. The biggest fault Trump has is reaching minorities. Instead of trying to entice minorities he is bashing immigrants. The author believes that this area of ignorance is causing Trump to lose in the polls.
Chris Matthews’ Hardball: How Politics is Played Told by the One Who Knows the Game gives readers an inside view to the world of politics. Matthews describes the tactics, tricks, and skills every politician will need when running for office and how to “win the game.” Matthews’ advice is applicable to the 2016 presidential campaign, which started earlier this year, and should be used by some inexperienced candidates, such as Republican and businessman Donald Trump. Another example of Matthews’ other strategies being applied today can be found in President Obama’s decision to make the Iran Deal in July. Lastly, the recurrent discussion on citizenship and immigration during the presidential campaign, especially involving Trump, can be solved using
Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign has come at a time after having a president serve for two terms. Americans are eager for change. Donald Trump promises to be the change to fix the nation’s concerns about foreign affairs, and immigration
“Make America Great Again,” the overarching theme of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump’s campaign brings to light the blunt arrogance of our beloved Donald J. Trump. Trump: a billionaire businessman, entrepreneur, and part time reality TV monkey, started his presidential run as of June 2015. He has, since his declaration of his run, been the frontrunner for the GOP Poll breaking out above the other candidates of Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and many others by consistent double digits. His run so far has been filled with all things Americans lovingly refer to as in its entirety, Donald Trump: arrogance, controversial pursuits, and lack of explanation to anything he has planned. Though Trump himself has decades of experience with economics,
Although many Americans turn a blind eye and defend that their nation is the strongest in the world, the U.S. is on a downward slope and the democracy has lost its title of global superpower. A superpower nation is an influential country unparalleled with others. Nonetheless, the public agreed the United States is "less respected by other countries" (Source D). Donald Trump's slogan during his 2016 presidential campaign reads “Make America Great Again".
The recent election of 2016 shows that artifice is essential in winning voters. Donald Trump, throughout his campaign, displayed an image of himself that people would perceive as “tough” and “strong”. The image of Trump as a reality TV star made him more likable by Americans. Trump spoke openly to people's economic stress, cultural fears and the disillusion with politicians. He promised to “bring
First and most generally, the Administration will have to engage other nations, bilaterally and multilaterally, and regain that vague but critical quality of American
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
In today’s world, so many people are focused on striving for individuality success and achievement. On June 16th, 2015, Donald Trump rode down the Grand Escalator at Trump Tower and announced his candidacy for president. On that day, a political firestorm erupted, and Donald Trump changed politics as we know it. Donald Trump has captivated audiences all across the United States, and his political campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” has resonated through the ears of his audience. Many Americans strive for success and achievement, and want America to be great again. In what ways can we make America great again? One way America can be made great is by fixing one of the most divisive, albeit universal, things in our country: our language. In order for Americans to fix the problem of language, Americans must accomplish two things. First, Americans must recognize that there is a problem. Second, Americans must come up with solutions to this problem.
America might need to be made great again but it will not be done by President Donald Trump, Washington DC or any government bureaucrat. Making America great again will not come from electing a better President or passing new laws. It will come from our homes, churches, families and clubs. It will come from where you and I are because what made America great are you and I. The American individual and what we believed.
It is easy to glance at the 2016 Presidential Election and paint it as a looney bin with unpredictable results, wacky campaigns, and erratic candidates. However, after studying the election closely, I have discovered quite the contrary. In fact, I would even go as far to suggest that each candidate was a master of their craft—rhetoric. Looking back, it is entertaining to see how each candidate enhances their credibility, evokes a fusillade of emotions, and presents certain calculated policies. If asked several months ago, I would have provided an entirely different answer which would have compared the election and its candidates to a circus and its intricate members. My enlightened grasp on the election was elucidated through various readings, weekly blog posts, and three term projects which allowed me to thoroughly analyze the campaigns. Although learning about the strategic ways to employ presidential rhetoric was the focal point of my class, I finished with new skills and experiences that will benefit my writing abilities. The adversity I faced because of late nights and unsatisfying grades has provided me with a sense of clarity and humility that has made me a more attentive and refined writer.
Donald Trump before he became the 45th president, his famous campaign motto “Make America Great Again” caught the attention of many Americans, but mostly by white Americans. Trump’s tactics made him a very clever man throughout the election, he had many techniques on how to gain the American vote. Throughout his campaign, he was attentive of the men around him. For example, Trump knew exactly what to say to get the attention of the American people. He already had in mind who he was going to pick in position for foreign policy, national security, and defense (“Donald Trump is the ultimate Machiavellian prince”). With this intention, he brought comfort to Americans, yet the people he was going to pick for these positions all have a common trait, which was all of them are specialist in the Middle East and Russia. Not only, was Trump attentive of America, yet he kept in mind how it was going to affect
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
Confessing one 's political identity in 2016 truly embodies the phrase “walking on eggshells”. Whether you’re a liberal or conservative, owning up to your political resolutions sometimes comes with some intense backlash. In this years’ presidential election we have an intense candidate with very radical views, and if you don 't know who I’m talking about you should probably move from the rock you are living under. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has gained a immense popularity amongst not only the American public but Internationally as well. His chauvinist rhetoric, egotistical outlook, and how he continuously fabricates lies upon lies has truly brought him into the public eye. Hearing Trumps incredibly horrifying agenda makes me proud to admit that I am a Democrat, a solid liberal to be exact. As a solid liberal I believe in the power of the people and that means all people.Whether you are rich, poor, black, white, gay, or straight building and creating a nation that caters to people inherently means doing right by the economy and when we do well for the economy we do well for everyone.
In the domestic political arena, Republicans and Democrats had said that Mr. Trump lacks concise and clear political philosophy. For them, he is just a simple demagogue and charlatan that vilifies the current political establishment. Yet, his particular and unique ideology has come to be known as “Trumpism”, an ideology that differs completely from traditional American conservatism or liberalism. Historians N. D. B. Connolly (John Hopkins University) and Keisha N. Blain (University of Iowa) have defined Trumpism as: “A personal and political gain marred by intolerance, derived from wealth, and rooted in the history of segregation, sexism, and exploitation” . In addition, he has
