Donald Trump's Argument Analysis

311 Words2 Pages

“In Trump is making America Meaner,” a column by Nicholas Kristof, it is argued that Donald Trump is spreading hate speech and racism throughout America through his campaign. Kristof explores the ties with Trump and the spread of racism throughout America. The Forest Grove High School experienced an uproar of bullying during this year’s presidential election, mostly being racism. Trump followers in the school chant at their fellow students, mainly Latinos/Latinas, phrases such as” Trump! Trump! Trump!” and “Build a wall! Build a wall!” (Kristof). It is even mentioned that in another school “a fifth grader told a Muslim student ‘that he is supporting Donald Trump because he was going to kill all of the Muslims if he became president’” (Kristof). Kristof also mentions a study conducted in Georgetown University, linking Donald Trump’s racism to the reasons of murder and mosque attacks. Most of the evidence that Kristof uses appeals to emotion, most of the examples used in this argument involve children and the youth more than logical thought. Of course, the argument is logical and not bogus; however, using the American youth and saying things such as “Briana Larios, a 15-year-old Mexican-American honor roll student who hopes to go to Harvard” (Kristof) makes me think it appeals more to emotion then …show more content…

The several mentions with Donald Trump also have negative diction in the words used to describe him, such as “Trump’s venom” and “Trumps harsh rhetoric” (Kristof), showing the dislike of Trump in this piece and Trump overall being a negative

Since the beginning of his campaign, President Trump has often portrayed himself as the victim of the liberal media and “fake news.” While every person should make a habit of checking their sources, it is my assertion that the media’s attitudes towards Trump have benefited him greatly. A common comparison somewhat alike to the chicken and the egg, is whether the media accurately represents events or creates them in their depiction. In my view both instances are present and valid in one’s attempt to analyse the media.

On October 2016, Univision 14, a spanish channel, showed a documentary in regards to Hate Rising by Jorge Ramos, a well known and influential journalist, writer, and news communicator. He desperately wants to inform to the spanish speaking audience to learn a bit more about what hate and cultural discrimination towards certain individuals is potentially affecting the society we live in today. In addition to the growing white supremacy groups such as the “white power” in the united States. Ramos argues that Donald Trump campaign is one of the main factors in feeding more hate towards latinos, including other types of groups in the United States. In order for Jorge Ramos to develop the documentary, he had to be part of rituals, having conversations,

Hard Data, Hollow Protests I highly disagree with majority of Mac Donald’s argument. Firstly, her inclination that officers “have more to fear from black men than black men have to fear” from the officers does not sit well with me. Although blacks may make up the highest percentage of cop-killers, blacks are more likely to be shot than whites. I suggest that since both facts are true to an extent, social culture and biases have become the driving force for both instances to play out as they are: Black men are more likely to kill cops, cops are more likely to kill black men.

In this article, “That Seventh Grade Bully is Running for President” (2016), Nicholas Kristof implies strong feelings toward Donald Trump, emphasizing a few of the many poor qualities he has. Kristof supports these claims by using several anecdotes, a subtle shift, and satire. He explains why Donald Trump is immature and is not fit to be president, considering the fact that he is very inexperienced which can be proven by his irrelevant verbal outbursts. This article is pointed towards us, as citizens who have the freedom to vote, to look at the facts and the qualities of the candidates to make the best choice.

Trump appeals to people with opposing viewpoints by using inclusive words and keeping the focus off of himself. It is not the things Trump will do, but it is the things that we, who “share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny,” will

Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer (2009:342) argue in the Du Bois Review that “racism is much broader than violence and epithets” and reveals itself in common, everyday microaggressions. In May 2010, a string of assaults on elderly citizens of Asian descent by black individuals transpired in the San Francisco Bay area (Shih 2010). CBS San Francisco ran a segment covering the attacks featuring an interview with a 21-year-old black man named Amanze Emenike, who had a criminal history of juvenile robbery and theft (CBS 2012). CBS uses Emenike’s history as a basis for theorizing the motives driving the black attackers in the May 2010 attacks. This news segment sheds light on troubling portrayals of black men and people of color in mass media as all being dangerous criminals, as well as the stereotypes fueling racism amongst minority groups.

President Donald Trump. Even to those who had voted for Trump this election, I doubt you ever expected to hear those words four years ago. Now added to the great list of men that lead this beautiful, that slots among Honest Abe, The American Cincinnatus, Old Hickory, and Father of the Constitution, is The Tumpster. Dana Milbank's mocking article “In which Trump discovers some guy named Frederick Douglass” Donald Trump is contrasted to the expectation of how leaders perform and act by the juxtaposition of the expectation, the allusion of similar incidents, and the situational irony of the thirteen days that he has been in office.

In my initial oral exam I combined both Glenn Beck and his co anchor's argument into one to better fit argument and doing so made it easier to form a structured idea of the fallacies involved using Toulmin’s model but also made identifying specifically Glenn’s fallacies difficult. Though it can be assumed that he agrees with the statements and analogies his co anchor was making as he used it as a jumping off point for his own final argument. Parts of the co-anchor's articulation are present in Glenn’s argument but in the exam I didn’t identify only Glenn’s ideas in the model. Specifically the grounds, warrant and backing were weakened as they were more closely related to his co anchor’s arguments than this own. Identifying this error Beck’s argument based on the Toulmin Model (Foss 131-133) is as follows:

Style is another form of rhetoric. Moving past correctness and clarity, we work with the true rhetorical side of style- appropriateness and ornament. “Appropriateness meaning to say or do whatever is fitting in a given situation”. Appropriateness would be better defined as situational propriety, like Kairos. For instance, when a person receives a call at a library, they’ll answer their phone call and the people around them will hush the person speaking on the phone.

When one hears about The United States of America, one automatically thinks of the idea that has been instilled into our brains, the idea that America was founded and continues to be based on freedom and equality for all, a belief that once anyone immigrated to America, he or she will be welcomed with arms open and will become a member of the “melting pot.” However, what is the truth behind this expectation? Various events and experiences have proved otherwise. In the article titled “Causes of Prejudice”, written by Vincent N. Parrillo, a sociology professor at William Paterson University, he explains the various causes that are correlated with the result of prejudice especially in America. These theories can be used to try and understand racism in America and the interview done by Studs Terkel, a renown oral historian, of C.P. Ellis a former member of the Ku Klux Klan.

In my paper, I will analyse Donald Trump’s political activities before and after the election to get an objective viewpoint of America’s President. We’ll start off with the history of Trump, both personal and political, to see whether there was some sort of significant development over the years indicating a tendency towards ‘good or evil’. Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.
