Donald Trump's Speech Analysis

Nowadays, there is no difference between politicians. American politicians deliver the same message to the people—elaborating on the pitfalls of the United States to acknowledge their ideas and importance to the nation. They ramble on and on about how they will improve and rejuvenate America, but fail to provide concrete solutions. Apart of the group of politicians, Donald Trump, for example, discusses specifically in his speech, at the Iowa Freedom Summit, how he will “succeed in: creating jobs; defeating ISIS; reducing the budget deficit; stopping nuclear weapons…” though fails to state specific solutions. In other words, he is simply restating the problems the nation faces. In response to this trend politicians pursue, Bill Flanagan writes

In the introduction of the piece, Flanagan describes Trump with his most well-known features, “a stocky boy beneath a dome of golden hair.” Who else named Donald wears blond hair? By describing Trump, it clarifies any misconception of which Donald Flanagan is talking about, since he never uses Donald’s last name in the piece. Other than the introduction, there is not much imagery through the piece; however, when Donald talks to the teacher, he dives” deep” into his responses. More clearly, he has more to say than the teacher does and for that, he talks about his life, from his I.Q to his relationship with the principal, “We see eye to eye on many, many subjects.” He rambles on because instead of answering a question he does not have the answer to, he jabbers in high hope that he answers what the audience asked.

Therefore, he successfully maintains his

Abernathy and Donald colloquially conversed with each other. Through all the words and the vocabulary, Donald displayed the most academic set. He says words such as “accredited” and “hypothetical.” His more sophisticated words lose his audience as they ponder about those words. Mrs. Abernathy may be smart enough to know what those words mean, but do all his classmates? What about a politician talking to the common person? Not saying that the average person is under educated, but rather not educated as a politician. Big words loose people. They can also make them appear smart. Flanagan’s addition of strong vocabulary through an eleven-year-old sarcastically depicts a politician with his/her many words. Moreover, Donald passively talks with his teacher, because it is easier to talk that way, creating a balance with the vocabulary. A politician cannot sound philosophical. They occasionally have meaningful ideas that the people need to understand. When they start speaking “French,” they begin cloaking their lies or uninformed
