Undocumented? So what. What? When people use their voices outcome powerful words and sayings.
While re-watching some of Donald Trump’s speeches that he gives during his “Presidential campaign”, I noticed just how much he uses Aristotle’s three appeals. This method are both hurting and helping him at the same time. He uses pathos or the emotional appeal quite frequently. Donald has a specific target audience that he appeals to when he says that he is speaking to America. I feel as if his demographic is older white people who feel as if their country is no longer what it used to be.
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.
In the first example of rhetorical devices shown in President Trump's inaugural address, he uses charged language by saying, “Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge; and the crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential” (Trump 8). He uses charged language to show the problems that families in poverty go through. He wants to show the audience how big of a problem this is and the consequences it leads to. This is just one problem he shows he wants to get rid of while he is the president of our country. The last quote that shows one of these rhetorical devices is in President Trump's address, where he says, “We assembled here today, are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power” (Trump 13).
In "Words Don 't Mean What They Mean," Pinker explains specialized linguistic concepts in a way that nearly all readers can understand and relate to by use of real-life examples. For instance, he uses the example of asking for salt and a reference to the Six-Day War to help readers relate specialized linguistic concepts to common gestures and real-world occurrences. In his example of passing the salt, Pinker successfully explains the concept of felicity conditions and the use of whimperatives. In his other example regarding the Six-Day War and use of Resolution 242, he explains indirect speech and the issues that can arise from incorrect use of it. In these examples, Pinker explains certain concepts of specialized linguistic concepts while
The election is over and Donald Trump is now poised to be the 45th President of the United States. In “How Donald Trump Brought Populism to Washington” (2016), Matthew Continetti’s article seeks to analyze the strategies deployed by the Trump campaign that spoke directly to citizens feeling disenfranchised by political authority. The key to a successful presidential campaign came down to message. “Make American Great Again was clear, direct, and appealing to voters who believed the country in which they grew up, and for a time prospered, was transforming into something they did not understand, did not condone, and had no agency within” (Continetti, 2016). Having no public service experience, Trump capitalized on nostalgia of the United States
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
The author claims that "one thing is certain: Mr. Trump cannot lose. Because he's already won. " He uses language such as "foolish" to describe those who expect Trump to lose. He goes even as far as to swear on several occasions throughout the piece, showcasing his emotional attachment to the topic in question.

Worthy Words Impact Throughout the world, language remains the one entity every different culture possesses, guiding cultural practices, traditions, and social activities.

Fallacies in political speeches: Donald Trump announces he is running for president. Donald Trump’s one very distinct “ability” is making a vast amount of people react to what he says. Be it good or bad, this makes him gain more attention not only in the United States, but all over the world. At the end of the day, what really matters is if his statements have, in fact, any effect on people’s votes. So for those who are not yet sure about his sincerity, it only takes a not to deep analysis of his speeches to spot serious fallacies.
By using powerful words, the audience will understand the importance of America needing to make changes and will listen to Clinton about what would happen if America does not make changes and faces dull consequences. Without the use of these powerful words, the speech would lose its importance, and the audience would not take this speech seriously. Therefore, powerful diction is an essential key to any speech or writings because it strengthens one’s ideas and arguments, and Clinton’s selection of words shows that the conflicts are important, and it is urgent that America needs to make a change. Clinton’s use of allusions and strong diction are essential parts of his speech, and it would deliver a different message without those rhetorical devices. His use of these devices conveys the urgency of making a change to make America a better nation, and it also shows him as a powerful
Trump can afford to say whatever crazy statement pops into his head and people will still eat it up because he can buy the
One such example is his use of a metaphor “Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.” in reference to our country’s declining economic situation, as well as the decreasing job opportunities for the less fortunate. He makes this one of his major points of influence, promising that he will raise employment and decrease those living off of the government. Trump also uses allusions to America’s declining education system in that previously mentioned quote which, if you look at the facts, is true, seeing as America spends much more on students than other developed countries, and still gets a somewhat disappointing pay out. He also uses analepsis, shown when he says, “We Will Make America Wealthy Again.
