On June 16, 2015, at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City, Donald Trump delivered a speech, announcing that he was running for president in the 2016 campaign. On that day, thousands of people turned up and listened to Trump lay out a his plan to match his incoming campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again." Trump used the rhetorical devices of repetition, parallelism, and restatement to engage his audience’s interest as well as encourage the acceptance of his ideas. As Trump himself said, "I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created."
Donald Trump opened his speech addressing how as of late America has not been very victorious. He used parallelism to emphasize this thought. "When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, China in a trade deal?" "When did we beat Japan at anything?" "When do we beat Mexico at the border?" After each of these statements, Trump follows up by telling how each of these

countries is "killing" America. Trump then went on to talk about how these countries are taking our jobs away from us. He used the unemployment rate and the labor participation rate to further emphasize that Americans are losing their jobs to illegal immigrants coming from countries such as Mexico, China, and Japan. Trump telling us that we are losing our jobs to Mexico, China, and Japan is a restatement of him telling us that these countries are "killing" America. Trump used restatement better explain himself and to magnify the importance of losing our jobs to his audience. Trump closed his speech addressing America's debt of $18 trillion.
He states that although the stock market has been good to him, it is "so bloated" and he hates to see how it negatively affects others. Trump then goes on to say that his wealth and success in business alone qualify him to be president and read his net worth to the thousandth dollar. "That's the kind of thinking our country needs." Trump hopes that his wealth will appeal to voters and set himself apart from career politicians. "I'm really rich," Trump said, adding that his confident attitude is what the country really needs after having "losers" run the country. Trump ended his speech saying,"But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and we will make America great again." This is an example of repetition, because he repeated the phrase "make America great again" all throughout his speech. Trump uses repetition in his speech to also help emphasize his point and help the audience remember his
slogan. By listening to Trump's speech, the audience got a taste of the type of candidate Trump plans to become and the ideas he'll promote. He plans to bring America's wealth back and all in all "make America great again." By using different rhetorical devices such as repetition, parallelism, and restatement throughout his speech, Trump makes his ideas more compelling to agree with.
The article “The Coddling Of The American Mind”, written by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, was written about how teachers are afraid of what they are allowed to say during in class because of the emotional effect on the students. While writing the article the authors have many examples of logos, ethos, and pathos. The logos of the article appeals to logic by presenting facts and statistics. The writers provide definitions of words such as microaggression and trigger warning. While explaining the definitions they go on to give real world examples to further the understanding of the words. Also statistics of the amount of mental health issues are provided to enhance the logos. Secondly to make the article more appealing is adding an emotional
The authors of “Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, use ethos, logos, and pathos convey their negative stance regarding trigger warnings and the effect they on education. Lukianoff and Haidt’s use of rhetorical appeal throughout the article adds to the author’s credibility and the strength of the argument against increasing the use of trigger warnings in school material. The authors, Lukianoff and Haidt, rely heavily upon the use of logos, such as relations between conflicts surrounding trigger warnings and other historical conflicts impacting student ethics. Examples of the use of these logical appeals are the relation between the Columbine Massacre and the younger generations ideology. The author goes on to mention other societal turning points such
A major rhetorical choice President Roosevelt incorporated into his moving speech was anaphora. After he explained the country’s relationship with Japan before the attack, and after he explained the devastating results of the attack, he starts to list off in a very structured order the other countries Japan chose to attack, using almost a formulaic approach: “Last night, Japanese forces attacked…” The reason he chooses to repeat the same structured phrases repeatedly is to grab the attention of the audience and to make them feel outraged. It shows who
Ronald Reagan was one of the most liked Presidents. When being elected for his second term, he won by a landslide—winning all the states minus Minnesota and Washington D.C. Reagan addresses the people of the United States of America. He wants the American people to reflect on his presidency, and as all presidents do in their farewell addresses, he wants to say goodbye to the nation that he's led for the past eight years. Ronald Reagan uses repetition, parallel structure, and allusion to reflect on his presidency and to say farewell to the American people.
Throughout the speech, the Former President George W Bush strives to empower Americans by instructing them to remain resolute, but to “go back to [their] lives and routines”. He uses the personal pronoun we and the common pronoun us repeatedly to indicate that the people of the United States, who either saw the event on television or experienced this event firsthand, were and still are involved in this national tragedy. He implements this emotional appeal into his speech to involve all Americans--people living in the United States of America, regardless of their ethnicity, race, or culture, and to acknowledge that the American people have endured this together, and that they will continue to advance after this event with stronger resolve, stronger than ever. In addition, he implements personification to motivate and empower the American people. “Our nation, this generation, will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future” (Bush, 2001). “This generation”, again a synonym for the American people, with its unwavering resolve, will fight for its freedom persistently. He intimates that the future of America and of democratic freedom is in the hands of the American people: that the American people have the power to control their fate. The next sentence leads into America’s “philanthropically” democratic nature: “We will rally the world to this cause, by our efforts and by our courage” (Bush, 2001). This statement has been followed up by action only a few years later, when the United States intervened in the Iraqi War, Libyan Revolution, and even more civil wars to ensure the freedom of citizens from dictatorships, which in Islāmic nations, were militant groups, like the Hamas and Taliban. Lastly, the president utilized anaphora, specifically a tripartite structure, by affirming that the American people “will not tire”, “will not falter”, and “will not fail”. He implies that the American people will relentlessly fight for the worldwide establishment of peace and democratic institutions, a promise which America has kept even in the face of its own national crisis.
In Ronald Reagan’s speech he creates this idea of a broken and selfish country. America is founded upon a democratic government that has proved to be useful in that past but, in Reagan’s speech he says, “In this present
In the speech, President Bush uses several metaphors to show that the United States is a strong country. Bush leads into the comparison of America, to the bending still occurring from the planes flying through the
Examining Trump’s rhetoric and past actions, it becomes clear that Trump’s ability to be the leader of America, especially in today’s already heated world climate, becomes questionable. When even the members of his own party refuse to endorse him and claim that he is not qualified to run a country, the general public needs to sit back and question his integrity. In Trump’s past, he has proven to be an insensitive, racist, greedy business man. Why would he prove to be any different once elected to office?
As a result of extreme hard work and perseverance followed by an unmatchable drive to succeed, Donald J. Trump has earned the right to be known as a multi-billionaire, real estate icon, and President of the United States of America. Reflecting on his life, he has faced many challenges and overcame them all. To understand how he rose to success and his journey to the top of the kingpin, it is important to recognize how he saw the American dream and pursued it. Today, many recognize him as the president, but very few can fully grasp all that he has done in his life. From his start as a real estate mogul, to his impact on the media, there are many questions as to how he became so recognizable today.
On May 26, 2015, Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy for president of the United States of America. During a time of political corruption, economic inequality, and social unrest, the American people hope to elect a president that will fix the country’s issues and improve upon the current state of the nation. Primary elections will occur within the coming months, and the general election will take place soon after, so candidates, Sanders included, have begun to campaign. By utilizing the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos; emphasizing his most important points through his word choice, voice, and body gestures; and establishing himself and American citizens as equal, Bernie Sanders explains in his speech his plans and hopes for America and strives to gain popularity and votes from
On January 21, 2017, Donald J Trump became the 45th President of the United States. This was an unusual day, as more people were protesting in the streets of Washington, D.C. than attending the actual inauguration ceremony. Many people believed that Trump was going to lose the race to his rival, Hillary Clinton, but late on November 8, 2016, the voting polls had closed and Trump took the victory. Although Trump did not win the popular vote, he did win the electoral vote. Trump’s campaign had a lot of controversy surrounding it, as he said and did a number of things perceived by some as inappropriate and anger-fueling. Trump also made many promises during his 2017 presidential election. Many think that a president should not make that many
Donald J. Trump, whose presidential campaign has doused the Republican Party with the verbal equivalent of napalm, has escalated his rhetoric to new levels of intensity before the crucial South Carolina primary this week. It is a vote that, if he wins, could erode the prospects of Republican leaders’ stopping his candidacy.
Holding a press conference instead of an election night rally in Florida, a state that heads to the polls in another two weeks, Trump told reporters he promise to bring together the Republican Party. "I'm a unifier," Trump said at his Mar-a-Lago golf resorts in Palm Beach, Florida. "Once we get all of this finished, I am going to go after one person - Hillary Clinton... We are going to be unified party and much bigger party."
For instance Trump has stated that by giving money back o large companies the companies will invest more on their workers therefore raising the workers pay and consecutively improving the United States’ economy. Trump has experience being rich as a matter of fact Trump has been a millionaire for 99 percent of his life.The problem with that is that he doesn't have any experience getting minimum wage for a excruciatingly hard job therefore does not understand the dilemma with working for low pay and having to pay rent gas food and clothing for a
Less than one month ago, such a statement would have been dismissed with incredulous laughter. Never before has a result been so shattering to American certitude; never again will we discount an underdog. This is no longer a joke, and this certainly is no dream; Trump will serve as commander and chief of the most powerful military in the world, determine the fate of our country’s reputation when he meets with foreign leaders, and elect government officials who will preside with him over America for the next four years.
