The Washington Examiner titles its headline, “Trump won on immigration...the media ignored it” by Eddie Scarry, a supporter of President Trump’s State of the Union address. This article first discusses how President Trump communicates a story of a family who lost their two daughters because an illegal immigrant murdered them. By providing this example in President Trump’s address, Scarry builds up pathos and ethos in his argument. Pathos builds up in his argument because parents who read this article and his reasoning will reflect this situation onto their own family.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Trump Kills Immigration Compromise

    686 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Editorial Board of The New York Times article Trump Kills Immigration Compromise is an ineffective and unsound argument. The article is centered around the Senate's debate on immigration and the Democrats and Republicans proposals for immigration laws. This creates kairos because this is a current debate and makes the argument relevant, but there is a lack of conciliatory language which is paired with the absence of evidence. This makes it so there is no warrant to support their claim that Donald Trump does not care about fixing our immigration problem as longs as he can use it for his political gain. Also, this impacts the logos and ethos and generates an ineffective and unsound argument.

However, one thing I do remember about this day was George W. Bush’s address of the 9/11 events. I remember I had to do something similar to this in High School as well, and I wrote about how Bush addresses the 9/11 attacks and how Bush used ethos, pathos and logos or as we know Aristotle’s tools of persuasion in his address. So when researching Bush’s address I found an article by CNN titled The text of President Bush's address Tuesday night, after terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
