Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump's Speech
On June 16th at his very own Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump announced that he would be running for president. It was only thirty seconds into his speech when Trump committed his first fallacy. In an attempt to insult the intelligence of his fellow GOP candidates, he compared their incompetence toward air conditioners to their supposed inability to beat ISIS. “They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work,” “How are they going to beat ISIS?” This is a bad example fallacy due to his use of an example that fails to prove the conclusion and has little connection to it. Despite the complete lack of relation between Trump’s example and his conclusion, he was still able to provoke the audience into feelings of contempt toward the other

    Who Is Charles Blow's Failing All Tests Of The Presidency?

    In Charles Blow’s “Failing All Tests of the Presidency” (2017) he asserts his opinion that Trump is not acting as a true president and he is merely holding a place for an actual president to arrive and replace him. Blow communicates this by saying “Donald Trump is a man of flawed character and a moral cavity,” and “His interests center on the self; country be damned.” He exaggerates all of Trump’s flaws without regard to the truth that, maybe he has done something good while in office. He does this in attempts to force his hatred of Donald Trump onto others that might already not support him. Charles Blow employs his hatred of Trump and writes very controversial articles to everyone who is indifferent or not in support of Donald Trump.…

    The Logical Fallacies In The Article By Michelle Malkin

    One of the fallacies used is the Ad Misericordiam. Malkin has used words and phrases that made it seem like Obama was a bully. She has used phrases like “Barack Obama's election-year goon squad kicked into high gear this week by kicking the president's fiercest opponents in the teeth and targeting their pocketbooks.” This made the opponents seem like victims by making the viewer feel pity for them without having thorough evidence to make this claim true. Without any evidence, it just becomes a ploy to sully the image of the president.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Trump's Bluster Is Heard Around The World

    On June 16, 2015, in the extravagant Trump Tower of New York City, Donald John Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidency. While most Americans raised their eyebrows in bewilderment, comedians erupted in a dance that Happy Feet would envy. His bombastic personality, amorphous hair, and poorly photographed facial expressions have become some of the most popular political punchlines. Critics dissect his statements and possible solutions until they seem unrealistic, and some are, like building a “YUGGEEE” wall to separate America and Mexico. While Trump is one of the most successful men in America, he is portrayed in media to be an ignorant idiot by YouTubers, comedy writers, and even respected…

    Donald Trump's Rhetoric

    The tensions and distrust of Republican officials by the disenfranchised party members has provided the backdrop to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. In the current presidential election Republican candidate Donald Trump has been covered more extensively than any other candidate. Much of Donald Trump’s rhetoric are centered around shock value statements that make perfect controversial sound bites that are then repeatedly played on news channels, television shows, and posted online. According to an estimate by the New York Times the air time Donald Trump has received is worth over two billion dollars. Regardless of the fact that much of the coverage Trump has received the main value of all of that television coverage has been name recognition.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump's Ad Hominem '

    I believe that this Trump tweet uses the Ad Hominem logical fallacy. I think this is due to how it is attacking Jeb Bush’s character and not his opinions or arguments. While Trump does provide a little bit of detail to the claim with $150 million, the fact that Jeb Bush spent more money on campaigning has nothing to do with his endorsement of Ted Cruz. Also, the amount of money he spent on the campaign has no effect on who Jeb Bush is or if people should consider his endorsement.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Assignment: President’s Address to the Nation

    Since the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration has been calling every citizens and every nations to support his Middle East policy. Nonetheless, the U.S. has been involved in the middle-east struggle for more than half of the century, wars were waged and citizens were killed. Yet, political struggles and ideological conflicts are now worse than they were under Clinton’s presidency. As “President’s Address to the Nation” is a speech asking everybody to support the troops to keep fighting in Iraq, I, as an audience, am not persuaded at all because of his illogical fallacy in the arguments. In this essay, I will analyze how and what are the illogical fallacies he uses in the speech.…

    George Bush Speech Analysis

    George Bush begins the speech with a solemn address and informs the people of America about the tragic events that unfolded. The aim of this speech was to reassure the public that they are now safe and the perpetrators will be brought to justice. The use of inclusive pronouns, such as ‘we’ and ‘our’, is just one of the ways in which he builds a sense of unity and togetherness with the audience. He makes it feel like he is equal to them and shares their pain and will help them through their struggles.…

    Donald Trump Speech Analysis

    As his signature theme song from Air Force One plays in the background, Donald Trump treads on the podium for his victory speech. As he speaks, I put myself in his position, a billionaire, TV personality, real estate king, no direct political experiences, impudent, grandiose, has reputation for being a narcissist and misogynist and wondered is there any other way to become the POTUS against Hillary Clinton other than being Trump. It certainly didn’t work for Bernie Sanders who sounded like a legit democratic socialist who vouched for increasing minimum wage rage to $15/hr from $12, voted against the Iraq War, ban fracking and impose tax on carbon to aggressively control climatic changes all of which Clinton…
