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.
Quality by Device During a speech delivered the day after the Pearl Harbor attack, FDR says, “Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States was suddenly attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan”. On December 7, 1941, the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese military forces.

But, in his January 6, 1942 State of the Union Address, FDR utilizes anaphora and flag waving to amplify the American spirit and effectively reassure the American people.
As American citizens, we have long been subject to the back and forth between the Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill. Since the very beginning, both parties have struggled with each other over power and policy, with us, the citizens, in the middle. With every reelection, a new president along with a political group attempts to establish a new regime of executive, legislative, and judicial power in D.C. Recently, however, with the term of President Obama, Congress has favored a more republican ideology, creating an impassive lawmaking system that is incapable of authorizing effective pieces of legislature. As a result of this inability, the president has made several authoritative decisions, completely bypassing congressional review, to establish a trust between the American people and
more emotional effect on the reader because they’re the last words their minds process, and thus more bound to resonate with them. After a paragraph that specifically described Trump and Cruz supporters as small-minded and vicious, “shivers” is likely to produce a sense of alertness and possibly fear. Therefore, the word “shivers”, used as both evidence and to build pathos, Bruni appeals to the readers emotions, reinforcing the terrifying truth that there are individuals in America fully supporting Trump and Cruz. In an effort to appeal to pathos, Bruni effectively uses sentence structure to question the reader’s values and cue the audience to Trump and Cruz’s absurd behavior.
In “Unfit to be President”: 58 House Democrats want to start debating the impeachment of Donald Trump by Ezra Klein, he discusses the possibility of current U.S. president Donald Trump being impeached is a good thing for democrats. Klein claims that it would be a waste of time and effort for democrats. He says this because they don’t have enough support to complete impeachment and impeachment is a near impossible task.

Of course you can tell that there is tones of information on the current presidential candidates. There is so much of this info that lately its just been silly and childish information. Maybe if they covered Congressional election and Presidential election the same then maybe there would be all this silly useless information out there about these presidential candidates.

“I won’t let you coax me into wasting my time with the likes of you, since I won’t be the one getting hurt.” Turning aside, he made ample room for him to pass, but there was just something about this young man’s attitude that aggravated him beyond reason, and although, he knew he should let it end here, he couldn’t. “You do realize, you will only bring embarrassment to the house of Gashard, furthermore, your friends won’t be there, this time, to help you, nor will your family’s armor and weapons be of any value, forcing you to rely on what little skill you possess, and, Gisholt, we both know that you, even on your best day, can’t defeat me and never will.”

You know that Donald Trump is running for President right? I do not think that he is qualified to be trusted with that much responsibility. He is very confusing; he doesn’t explain how he will succeed in what he says he’ll do. He doesn’t use correct presidential manners.
