Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump's Support For The CIA
Freshly elected president Donald Trump, with his CIA briefing, expressed his support for the entire CIA, and other ideas that he believes in retaining for the CIA. Donald Trump shows an overwhelming source of support for the CIA and a strong sense of importance for their actions.

Trump begins his speech by expressing his support for the CIA. He talks about how “This is my first stop”(pg 1 para 1). He also emphasizes how important they are by pointing out that he had other places he could have gone such as balls or other speeches. Trump also makes an easily refutable statement somewhat of a Strawman when he says “Almost everyone in this room voted for me”(pg 1 para 5). Trump also talks about how Himself and the CIA are on the same page, and want the same things. Trump on the same note of being on the same page talks about how we need to “get rid of ISIS, We need to get rid of ISIS”(pg 1 para 8) Trump uses repetition to get his point across that they both want the same things.

Him saying this gives the audience a sense of importance and lets them know it wasn't just another decision ,but rather one he truly cared about. After that Trump took a paragraph to describe why Mike was a good choice to head the CIA. Doing this he continued to build a image in the audience's heads that he and the CIA are on the same page, with the same values, and same goals. Trump later on in this step on building up his choice on “Head of The CIA” used a lot of Repetition to try to get apart how bad he wanted his audience to understand his passion for his

    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…

    Political Language has nothing to do with grammar or punctuation. It has everything to do with the way something is said, where it is said, and what it really means. The information is usually vague and ambigious so that direct questions of policies or actions aren't questioned in any specific manner. Political Language can be used to exaggerate, manipulate, and mislead.…

    While Edward Snowden is trying to use rhetoric to convince his audience that the programs he revealed are un-American and morally wrong, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie uses it to make the opposite case. He employs similar appeals to authority and emotion to convince Republican voters, a more targeted subset of the general American population that Snowden is appealing to, that these programs are necessary for national security and that they should elect him President because he would use them most effectively. To gain a better perspective on the types of rhetorical strategies he uses to make this argument, consider his exchange with Senator Rand Paul at the first Republican primary debate.…

    President George Bush’s letter to President Saddam Hussein is a convincing segment intended to persuade Hussein to remove his forces from Kuwait before conflict ensues. Some critical readers believe that Bush does not provide a rational argument, but this paper is taking the standpoint that Bush not only is rational, but cogent. President George Bush is able to effectively convey his forceful message to President Saddam Hussein, expressing that Iraq must leave Kuwait through the use of establishing credibility, strength, repetition, and persuasive appeals by explaining that the world will not tolerate war and violence any longer.…

    Rudyk also added that it is the speaker’s common sense assumption in referring to the respected enemy that the speaker intended to. From the speech, it could be understand that the enemy is a group of people from Middle East. A part from that, Rudyk also stated that the listener or reader would also have a similar “common sense assumption” effect from the statement in paragraph which is “Everyone of us wishes that this war were over and won.” According to Rudyk, the speaker does not mention clearly that the sentences The war is over and the war is won (by us) have the same proposition. Besides that, the repetition of the sentences in the speaker’s speech indicate that the speaker is exercising his power in persuading the listener or reader’s meaning system in favor of those who is upper hand in the war. Another example that Rudyk used in order to analyses the meaning system of the Bush’s speech is the closing sentence of paragraph 10,..it remains the policy of this government to use every lawful and proper tool of intelligence,diplomacy, law enforcement, and military action to do our duty, to find these enemies, and to protect the American…

    He outlines four “basic questions” they’re going to seek the answers to: “how did we get a pathological liar in the White House”, “Where are his lies coming from?”, “Why do so many people believe him?”, and “What can we possibly do about it?”. This sets up the ground work to fully assess the scope of Trump’s lies.…

    * 2. This speech is basically about President Obama ordering Seal Team Six to infiltrate a compound in Pakistan where Osama Bin Laden was hiding; ultimately resulting in his death. Obama tells how he was collecting Intel for 4 months before he finally felt like he had enough evidence to make a move on Bin Laden; a man who was believed to be behind thousands of murders in Afghanistan and a leader of the terrorist group Al Qaeda. He has evaded capture for the last ten years and was finally brought to justice. This event is significant to everybody because it symbolized a big blow to terrorism in America since he was believed to be one of the conspirators behind the bombing of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. This was a huge accomplishment for the Obama Administration, so he goes on to make many comments on the patriotism of these men in Seal Team Six, and that the death of Bin Laden lets Americans know that we need not fear terrorism…

    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…

    There were multiple wide shots in this speech, but there was one that stuck out to me the most. This wide shot was very specific to everyone and made me feel very empowered. The wide shot that stood out to me the most is when Trump said, “We are one nation. When one state hurts, we all hurt – and we must all work together to lift each other up. Working, building, restarting together.” This part of his speech is very empowering and makes you want to get up and help the country out some how. This quote makes me actually want to vote for Trump because he is reassuring us that we can do it if we all do it together. I am big into team work, so for him to show this team bonding side of him is very reassuring and interesting. When speakers put wide…
