    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.…

    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…

    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…

    "He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in us, rather than the best. His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control."…

    Speaker’s use diction, syntax, and imagery to reflect their tone. In her final argument, Clinton says “After the world watched with horror as the twin towers fell, he called in to a New York TV station, and even on that horrible day when thousands of people lost their lives, he couldn’t stop himself from pointing out that now, because the towers had fallen, a building he owned was the tallest in Lower Manhattan.” Hillary Clinton's use of words like “horror” and “horrible” sets an apathetic tone. By setting this tone Clinton hopes to show voters how self-centered Donald Trump is. While Clinton strives to prove that Donald Trump was self-centered, Trump ventured to show that Hillary Clinton was crooked. Donald Trump first called Hillary Clinton…

    What have we come to in America when one of our only candidates is volatile and intellectually unfit to run for president? Jennifer Robin also states “that when forced into a corner, Trump will crack.” (Robin, Paragraph 8) Unfortunately, Mr. Trumps has a delicate, but monstrous ego, which enthralls his explosive unpredictable behavior. This campaign has been a whirl wind of irrational behavior, with back pedaling and rationalizing bad behavior, instead of just admitting when he has…

    His views on the Second Amendment is “The Right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.” His view on the US-China trade reform is “The most important component of our China Policy is leadership and strength at the negotiating table, we have been too afraid to protect and advance American interests and to challenge China to live up to its obligations. We need smart negotiators who will serve the interests of American workers- not Wall Street insiders that want to move U.S. manufacturing and investment offshore.” His view on Veterans Administration Reforms is “The current state of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is absolutely unacceptable. Over 300,000 veterans died waiting for care. Corruption and incompetence were excused… This situation can never happen again.” And last but not least his view on what many call The Wall, Donald says “It’s an easy decision for Mexico. There are several ways to compel Mexico to pay for the wall.” (DONALD J. TRUMP…

    To begin with, Donald Trump will say anything that comes to mind on Media without considering the impact on the audience or the consequences and some of his claims make no sense at all. Here are a few examples, "Remember 'environment friendly' light bulbs can cause cancer" and "I beat China all the time. All the time". Donald Trump has numerous quotes that are wreck less and completely useless. He also doesn't have good communication skills to make his interviews look professional his vocabulary is basic too. Another example is when he said "It has not been easy for me my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.", now for a lot of people a million dollars is a…

    Yet, these same remarks kept him in the spotlight. He has always had the media at his disposal. Where he went, the media followed and fought to be the first to capture his controversial speeches. This strategy worked to promote his campaign and Trump used it well. He calls this a “truthful hyperbole”. He wrote in his 1987 memoir that he says what the people will agree to and like to hear. He says it is playful exaggeration and a very effective tactic for promotion. (Osnos, the new Yorker) Due to free media, media which is gained through promotional efforts besides advertising, voters were frequently exposed to his campaign and hence attracted more supporters as well as voters who oppose his campaign. Trump panders to what he thinks his voter base would like to…

    Card stacking is when one side may suppress or distort evidence to divert attention from the real problem at hand. One example of this is Trump's speech in December 2015, in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Trump had said that democratic runner, Clinton, former husband, Bill Clinton, is a “tremendous” abuser of women. Another stab a candidate Democratic runner, Clinton, was stated on Twitter back in April of 2015. Trump had tweeted on Twitter that “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?” Trump continues to bring up candidates past to win arguments and avoid the more serious matters at hand. These card-stacking comments are not the only techniques of propaganda that are…
