Analytical Essay: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Bill Clinton
Clinton has been content in recent weeks to sit back and let Trump be the news, letting him make his own bold claims and be the focal point of the campaign. But the roles were switched on Thursday. During the speech in Reno, Nev., Clinton went all out. And she almost seemed to take a page out of Trump’s playbook. She used bold claims to paint a dark picture of a Trump who isn't just an unwitting bigot, but rather someone intentionally advocating racist policies in the United States. And not only does she have a valid point on this topic, but many things that has been said by him lean toward him being racist.

Trump’s retaliation against the parents of a Muslim U.S. Army officer who died while serving in the Iraq War was a clear

The following day, Trump implied that the attackers were justified. “Maybe [the protester] should have been roughed up,” he mused. “It was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.” Trump’s dismissive attitude toward the protester is part of a larger, troubling pattern of instigating violence toward protesters at campaign events that has singled out people of color. He suggested to these views in an interview with the New York Times magazine recently when he described Ferguson, Missouri, as one of the most dangerous places in America. The small St. Louis suburb is not even in the top 20 highest-crime municipalities in the country.
Conclusion
So in conclusion, there are more than enough sources proving that yes, Donald Trump is racist and it has been recorded many times. Was is right for HIllary to say he was? No because clearly it is more then obvious. It wasn’t really her job to say whether he was or wasn’t. It’s the voters opinion what he is. And based off of their views will help decide the presidential

    When O’Brien was being detained by the secret service for an article he wrote entitled “How to Fight Presidents”. He pondered on the implications of satire and how they also related to being a comedian. To ponder a statement like this O’Brien decided that it was best to use pathos to rhetorically appeal to an emotion in order to connect his words together. Logically, he knew that because he was talking to a secret service member the seemingly egotistical statement did not make it out of his mouth. Rather thought this statement as result of the joy he felt at the moment where he thought he might have got away easy. “Ah, the life of a joke smith, I mused internally, the burden and joy of making the world a more magical place, one laugh at a time.…

    Hillary and Trump both had very persuasive speeches, they both used the three appeals very differently, like Hillary used the emotional appeal more and Trump used the logical and the ethical appeal more. They both were very well thought out speeches and they both spoke to the delegates at each convention plus the people that were watching on TV. They both made an a point to at least try and use all three rhetorical appeals to be the most persuasive they can be, but in the end, its up to what people in America see fit. Its up to the Americans to go over everything the candidate believes in and what they say in these speeches to decide who would be the better president. Hillary and Trump both have many reasons why they feel they are the best…

    “Since this horrific tragedy, the NYPD has been expending every resources… to find this killer and find the cause and you will see in the Muslim communities of our city the NYPD there in support of the community,” de Blasio said. “You will see today and in days thereafter." He also added the attack was in reference to GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump rhetoric and proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. “It is also clear that there is a lot of fear in the community.…

    Mayor Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim leader in London, has long been the subject of insult and pointing fingers for Trump. After Saturday's van and knife attacks on the London Bridge that left tens of casualties, seven people killed and over 50 injured, Trump jeered at Khan's attempt to appease people as he asserted that "no reason to be alarmed" by the attacks.…

    Essay On What's At Stake

    From the article The Washington Post by Fred Hiatt it states that “In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations in November, Hillary Clinton said that the United States needs to wage both “an immediate war against an urgent enemy” and “a generational struggle against an ideology with deep roots.” Starting a war against an enemy would not be a good idea. Because she wants to start a war for no reason, this would create a big problem. She does not need to start a war for no reason and have to kill innocent people. According to the article What’s at stake by Patricia Smith it says “Trump has promised to defeat ISIS by taking away the oil that funds the terrorist group. He also vows to increase the size of the U.S. military and “bomb the hell out of ISIS.” Because he wants to bomb ISIS, he would be bombing other people who are innocent. Just because ISIS is bad doesn’t mean you have to kill other people who are not part of that group. He would be killing some of the good people. The other good people would riot because he would have killed innocent people for no…

    Many of them are quite shocked at this allegation and offended, since racism is synonymous with being a terrible person. These previous teachers have said on multiple occasions about how terrible racism is and how irrational and how terrible it is. Now they ae becoming that thing that they have hated so much. Though some of the tutors had a different response. The tutor Megan was the only one out of the nine who according to Marx “felt comfortable acknowledging her own racism as an inevitable consequence of living in a racist society.” Out of all of the tutors, Megan meets the idea of being racist with the least bit of hostility. She knows that acknowledging our problems as a racist society, we make it easier for us to have a discussion leading to improvement regarding racism. Megan visualizes racism like a moving walkway in which those who don’t do anything to move against it move towards the same destination racist would be heading towards. By placing no effort in improving their behavior, they move along that path without any…

    He flooded the campaign trail with prejudicial, misogynistic, and slanderous rhetoric. He frequently criticized and insulted people based on their gender, race, religion, and even physical capabilities. Moreover, Trump promised to “make America great again,” which ended up being his most notable slogan. With this statement, along with his provocative behavior, one could presume that Trump was insinuating that this country was much greater in the past, and perhaps that concept does ring true for the white man. However, on the contrary, others might argue that America has made considerable progress over the last century and there has been no other time in the nation’s past in which it has been greater. This example of “institutional racism is the product of years of white supremacy, and [was] designed to produce far-reaching benefits for white people (Desmond and Emirbayer…

    She presents statistics that did not prove her point, uses language that would deter her audiences from being engaged in her article, and cannot be considered an expert in this field due to her inexperience in writing on matters such as this. Racism as a whole has definitely decreased over the years. African Americans today are getting chances that would have never even been thought possible years ago. The colorblindness technique which is treating people equally regardless of race (Williams), has had a positive effect on the American people. A solution which was not used by previous generations which has made the difference. Attiah wrote about the act of one man who was clearly an exception that she was able to point out through the fact that he had “early-20th-century symbols of apartheid and racist colonial regimes in Africa on his Facebook page”(Attiah). He of course cannot be the only one but, is definitely a minority when it comes to extreme racism of that…

    Just recently the US went into another historic election that saw Donald Trump getting elected as the 45th president. The big question I think that arises from his election is whether his rule will bring back racism as a factor in the US. This is based on his averments during his presidential campaigns concerning the African-Americans, and how he was going to deport them.…

    Showing that even if someone is not a victim, they will still notice the change. A research fellow at The Bridge Initiative warned that, “It’s been hard up until now to say that Trump is the sole reason for this, what will be interesting is how often racist attacks are accompanied by explicit support for Donald Trump.” Essentially, the overall point being made was that other points can be made that Trump is not the direct reason for these cases, but Trump is definitely an influence on these racist attacks (Sidahmed). Donald Trump is also known for going against specific races. And when he does this, it leaves a mark that shows what type of person he is, and it also give his supporters a new way of acting towards people that do not agree with their beliefs: “During the 2016 campaign, Trump characterized many Latino immigrants as ‘criminals,’ ‘rapists’ and sources of ‘infectious disease.’ He called for banning Muslims from entering the U.S.” Trump has influenced many acts of racism. By him going against certain groups, it causes his supporters to do so as well. Even though they are pro-Trump for other reasons, they try to connect with Trump in everything he does (Neuhauser). Overall, it is straightforward that there is a correlation between acts of racism and the outcome of the past…

    As you may know, Trump blames everything on others. He believes that laziness is a trait in "blacks." How can this be proven? He has not met every African-American to prove that laziness is common among them. Trump also attempted to bring down his rival, Hilary Clinton, by saying, "If Hilary can't satisfy her husband, then what makes her think she can satisfy America?" How rude! He should not have brought her personal life into the situation. Mr. Trump also accused the majority of Hispanics of being rapists and drug dealers. Where does he get such absurd ideas? Donald once tweeted, via his Twitter account, "Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and Hispanics- a tough subject -must be discussed." So, he basically blamed all violence in major cities in America on African-Americans and Hispanics. He once said, " A women's place is in the bedroom, not the boardroom." That was a very sexist comment made by Trump. Trump is just a bundle of…

    After taking our seats, we waited almost three hours, and even Trump himself was late to his own party. The rally began in a group prayer to bless the central valley farmers, and then Trumps main campaign manager took the stage due to Trumps tardiness. For nearly 25 minutes, an anti-Hillary speech was performed that included the subjects of isis, bin-ghazi, and her role as secretary of state. I, myself, am not technically a Hillary supporter, but I thought that the speech was tacky and overdone. I was not attending a Trump rally to hear about Hillary; tell me what Trump is going to…

    In the midst of adversity, the state of hope exists. It is the term Barack Obama, 2004 US senate candidate, uses to bestow upon America’s citizens the possibilities of a brighter future for their nation. It is the term he sees as a gift to this country- “the bedrock of this nation”. He doesn’t fail to mention several of America’s greatest qualities as well, leading up to his praise for John Kerry, a presidential candidate. He vows that the nation’s greatest qualities would be preserved under Kerry’s strong and compassionate ways of leadership, and that the issues that threaten America’s prominence won’t be left unresolved. Obama utilizes vivid imagery, figurative language, and repetition devices to convince us that under the leadership of John Kerry, America will find new and lasting peace for not only the less-fortunate, but for the entire nation as well.…
