    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…

    “Despite Donald Trump’s strong use of pathos, he utilized a very limited amount of logos. He mainly used factual statements for the purpose of highlighting his emotional appeals. Statements such as,”The senate Subcommittee on Immigration has already identified hundreds of immigrants charged with terrorist activities inside the United States since September 11th.”, although logical, are designed to stir up the emotions of the audience. In his speech, Mr. Trump also said,”All of the September 11th hijackers were issued visas.” It is much more difficult to critique a candidate’s position if they are using fact to support it, which is why many politicians will insert a small amount of facts into an otherwise highly emotional speech. Both of the…

    “My battery in my phone is dying” or “Oh, he can tweet but can’t text back?” is what floods Twitter user’s timeline on a daily basis. Meghan Daum refers to this as the Age of Oversharing in her essay “I Don’t Give a Tweet What You’re Doing,” where she sarcastically dissects the controversies behind Twitter and how nearly fourteen million users have completely abandoned Twitter’s “initial function to serve as an information conduit between close friends and family” (233). Along with her beliefs of Twitter adding to our already compromised interpersonal skills she carries the tone of being bitter and harsh throughout her essay as she evaluates the many answers to the question “what…

    Facebook isn’t just a place to see pictures of friends and family’s latest vacation, or to see what your sister-in-law cooked for dinner that night. It’s a place where news, messages, ideas, and funny cat videos can spread at the click of a button. Given that, on average, over 628 million people log on to facebook each day, it is a great website for advertisement. With these statistics, anyone trying to relay some type of message would be “stupid” to not use Facebook as a resource. With this in mind, the Facebook page of GOP front runner Donald Trump takes advantage of the use of Facebook to express his personal values, gain media exposure, and to acquire voter support for his presidential campaign through a use of image and text post strategies…

    Famous philosopher and poet, Aristotle, once described, “[rhetoric] may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion. This is not a function of any other art.” Thus, rhetoric is a form of clear, perceptible language which leads its observers to make a specific and calculated conclusion. Many consider politicians to be the most avid users of rhetoric, constantly trying to convince audiences to vote or certain way or to shift the national political agenda in a direction that fits their means. In many cases, politicians are accused of being liars or untruthful for doing so. Contrary, others consider politicians to be masters of languages, constantly formulating methods to make their arguments more…
