Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump's Campaign

The Presidential Election has always been a battle of words and message. Although the media thought that Donald Trump’s words weren’t the best, the people thought his message was powerful enough to make them overlook his words unlike the media. Also, people who did not know what was going on in the media just voted for whoever. His message was powerful enough towards the millenials and getting them to support him. Hillary’s campaign was a traditional one unlike Donald Trump’s. Donald Trump’s campaign to the people of America made many support him and voted for him to become president.

And it’s so deep that it overwhelms all the bad stuff from Trump. It’s that strong. It’s a strong force wind,’” (How Trump won the election: volatility and a common touch). This message and it’s inspiration is getting extremely powerful because of its promise to deliver the very best. These millenials who are given outdated things or things that were good 20 years ago wants something new and are willing to take a guy like Trump, overlook his personality or his actions, and believe in his
