The entire editorial board at the New York times decided to cooperate on an op-ed piece covered on Donald Trump concerning his post election actions and decisions. The Op-Ed was titled “What President Trump Doesn’t Get About America” and was published on the New York Times on January 20, 2017. The rhetorical situation behind the piece is the after-effects of Mr. Trump's official inauguration which took place on the same date the Op-Ed was published. The author's purpose and intended audience is to inform and persuade the American people that America was and will be fine even with some of the so-called harsh executive decisions of Trump. The three rhetorical appeals are wisely utilized. A strong sense of credibility in ethos is automatically
Ethos was the most prevalent rhetorical appeal as a result of the styles it was presented in. This appeal is used to persuade the audience that you are a credible source which can influence how your audience thinks about the topic; therefore, mentioning credible sources helped aid in the author’s persuasion: “Just this summer the Supreme Court of Nevada upheld the admissibility of rap lyrics as evidence in a first-degree murder case” (Nielson and Kubrin). Mentioning the Supreme Court, makes readers more opt to believe the writer’s view due to the fact that these officials have a strong background with the law. Moreover, the fact that explicit rap lyrics were used as evidence by high level officials can also persuade the audience that this is
A little over a week ago, January 20th, marked the 45th president’s inauguration. On this day, many people celebrated and in fact was in full support of HIM, Donald Trump. To some, his “accomplishments” have been successful and will indeed make America “Great Again.” For the rest, the saner, his controversial actions have disgusted not only the people of America, but the people of the world.
This further validates what I have been posting for about a month now. Since Trump has refused to work with leaders of his own party to reduce the rhetoric in most of his speeches. Nearly every week Trump insults large groups of people and has even attacked Republican Governors with very dated statistics that in cases were caused by their predecessors. What many party leaders know is that unless Trump changes at least a bit, they'll nearly practically hand the White House back to the Democrats. Trump refuses to listen thinking that he knows best. At what point does he face reality and see that support from many Republican voters is declining.
persuasive for the audience to get the answer. It uses ethos to appoint the statements
“... we will make America strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And yes, together we will make America great again.” He also uses an abstract diction. “The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.” Many American citizens conclude that the progresses made in the country are not remembered or celebrated. “We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.” As President Trump is pointing out the previous conditions of the United States, he utilizes this type of diction to bring comfort and peace to the heart of the nation. Along with that, as he explains the conditions that the citizens are facing, he assures them that there would be an end to those conditions previously faced. “We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate from the face of the
Let's be honest with ourselves here. No one actually likes Donald Trump. Let me rephrase that. No one likes what Trump does. And we all know that Donald Trump does not like when we disagree with him. Especially on “Social Media”. Trump is very widely known for his infamous Twitter account; notorious for his controversial tweets. Twitter is a place where opinions are gladly appreciated, yet our “POTUS” can’t handle criticism from his own citizens, so his expert solution is………..blocking them. Even more irony comes from the very fact that his 3rd wife is trying to take a stand against bullying, yet she can’t control her own husband, who is the biggest one of them all! But most importantly, we really need to fix it before it is too late.
On January 20th, of this year, America witnessed one of the most baffling moments in all of our history. That moment was when Donald J. Trump, a man of no political background, was inaugurated as President of United States of America. No matter what this man has done in throughout the campaign, or what the media has said about the terrible things he has done or said, he still managed to win the electoral vote and won the title of President. Now, no matter how people feel about this man, Donald has a huge following of people who are ready to support anything he does. He achieved this feat by how he talks and presents himself to the American people, or at least to his audience that is.
The newly elected American president on 20th January 2017 addressed the citizens of his state, the dignified world leaders and his adversaries. President Trump from the very beginning of his speech addressed the protection of America and pointed out the protection of each of the single American. His speech directed towards the presidents who had already served in the American state. Moreover, repetitively he gave signs of warning to the enemies of the state. His speech reflected those enemies, which are a threat to the world peace along with the survival of their won country. His emphasis was over the revival in the American system, whether the education, health or national security agendas.
In January 2001, George W. Bush greeted America for the first time as president. This was a peaceful time in the country, more or less. 2001 was before war swept the nation and prayers for our men and women in uniform became the norm. Emerging from the 1990s world was now dazzled by new technology. In a time before Facebook and terrabyte capable Apple products we were thrilled to be playing on a Playstation while listening to our favorite songs on a first generation iPod. George W. Bush came into presidency the same time Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire hit the shelves. It seems like a world ago but many of his decisions as president still affect us to this day. His primary argument in his inaugural address concern the children of America and how we will work to give them better schools, improved health insurance, and a stronger country to grow up in. His secondary argument centers around using the power of faith and belief in a higher power to become a more unified country. Bush supports his arguments using a strong pathos core supported by ethos.
Ethos, pathos, and logos! They are the three persuasive appeals that a writer utilizes to effectively convince an audience. These persuasive appeals can be found in Malala’s Yousafzai speech, The Sealand Lady’s speech, and in Mr. Turk’s video “Look Up”.
Donald Trump’s Inaugural Speech has an upbeat and victorious setting, with a very proud context throughout. All of these things are to be expected, of course, as the man was in the process of becoming the 45th president of the United States after what felt like an election season that would never end. The primary message in President Trump’s speech was that the country was about to change. He claimed that the country was about to go back to the people, rather than stay with the politicians. Donald Trump offers this as an argument, and as we learned in class, we make arguments to inspire change.
If our goal as a country is to "Make America Great Again" then Donald Trump is someone we need to keep out of the White House. Mr. Trump, also known as Drumpf, is America’s leading republican presidential candidate who happens to be billionaire real estate mogul and a television personality. Donald Trump is a racist, sexist, belligerent, bullheaded big-mouth. Despite that, he’s leading the GOP field, his polling is fueled entirely by an army of supporters who like him for all the wrong reasons. Donald Trump would, without question, be the absolute worst president America has had to endure.
Donald Trump recently gave a speech discussing rising Radical Islamic Terrorism, immigration from the Middle East, and a need for a rise in national security while Manchester, New Hampshire on June 13th 2016. He centers his whole speech around discussing how bad a President his opponent, Hillary Clinton, would be in difficult times. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of Finance in 1968 with a bachelor 's degree in economics, and has become a very successful businessman. He’s the Republican nominee for this upcoming presidential election, and is a very controversial candidate and person. He has come under fire for many of his views that he discusses in his June 13th speech. While Trump does make some agreeably points, he renders his speech ineffective because of his heavy reliance on Clinton’s opinion to form his own. If Trump were to become President, his stance on important issues would need to be reached with careful consideration, and not just based on doing the opposite of his opponents.
President Trump, two words that were once mocked together are now the reality that brings fear and abhorrence to many. As the recent election shows Trump will be our next president. To many this is a blessing, to others it is a curse that January twentieth with be a day of ruination. Despite your stance, America has spoken and life will move forward. America unsure if it will be great again will have to take the punches, good or bad, as they come. Americans known for their brassy personalities will continue to express their doubts about Trump throughout his career and now is no exception. In “Donald Trump’s Sad, Lonely Life” by David Brooks, the use of harsh concrete and picturesque language along with ad hominems and false analogies, lead
The main point about this article is that people who hate Donald Trump should at least give him credit for what he has done right. According to Thomas, most Trump-Haters tend to look at Trump's awful personality, rather than the “result.” Thomas uses rhetorical devices to grab the reader's attention to the article. He wants to make the people who hate Trump to understand that not all that he has done is terrible, and that he should be given credit for the ‘results.’ The author uses many logical reasonings to explain why the haters of Donald Trump should give him credit for what he has done.
