Kristof supports these claims by using several anecdotes, a subtle shift, and satire. He explains why Donald Trump is immature and is not fit to be president, considering the fact that he is very inexperienced which can be proven by his irrelevant verbal outbursts. This article is pointed towards us, as citizens who have the freedom to vote, to look at the facts and the qualities of the candidates to make the best choice.
Joseph Epstein in his article “Trump and the Plutocrat’s Hubris,” speaks to Trump’s role in the government, and the extent to which businessmen can be successful in a political setting. Although it could be argued that Epstein’s article in objective, the use of pathos, diction, and tone throughout his article shows that the article in innately subjective. “My father was a moderately successful businessman…” By stating this, the article automatically becomes subjective.

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.
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.

Objectivity is an area in which all news reporters find difficulty. While newspaper articles are meant to be objective in nature as reporters are meant to simply report the news with facts as their basis, Editorials and the like are free to be subjective nature basing the stance one takes on a topic purely due to one's opinion or how one feels about the topic. This struggle is always present as one can see with the recent presidential candidate, Donald Trump. In the article by the Huffington Post which is titled "Donald Trump Has Already Won", the author, William Harwood, writes about the question that many Americans have asked themselves about this upcoming presidential election, "Has Donald Trump already won the election?"
The recent 2016 Election was controversial and showcased just how divide our nation has become.

President Donald Trump. Even to those who had voted for Trump this election, I doubt you ever expected to hear those words four years ago. Now added to the great list of men that lead this beautiful, that slots among Honest Abe, The American Cincinnatus, Old Hickory, and Father of the Constitution, is The Tumpster. Dana Milbank's mocking article “In which Trump discovers some guy named Frederick Douglass” Donald Trump is contrasted to the expectation of how leaders perform and act by the juxtaposition of the expectation, the allusion of similar incidents, and the situational irony of the thirteen days that he has been in office.
Introduction: A Basket of Deplorable(s): Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton’s Use of the Word Deplorable Before addressing the quote-on-quote controversial word used by the Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton to describe half the supporters of the Republican Nominee Presidential Nominee Donald Trump Campaign, it is important to make one fact clear. Regardless of the political spectrum, presidential candidates support, presidential candidates should never negatively described their opponents’ group of supporters and/or voters. In other words, attacking presidential candidates’ campaign is one factor, but attacking their supporters is another issue within itself, which causes more harm than good.
In his article “Only Trump Can Trump Trump” (2016), Thomas L. Friedman argues that Donald Trump is the only one who can “trump Trump” or ruin himself. Friedman supports his position by providing evidence on the mishaps of the G.O.P and using his personal experience as credible evidence; he also utilises data that he words into a sarcastic and incendiary tone which provokes anger and irritation towards Trump and the G.O.P from his readers. Friedman wishes to influence his audience to dislike Trump and see the G.O.P as people who are infantile, hypocritical and compulsive by his flagrant diction and his excessive usage of tone; his dislike of the Republicans’ ideas and actions is made clear through his incredibly critical and sarcastic tone, he continuously devalues
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.
The ad “You Make Me Feel” is based off the 2016 Presidential campaign between Former First Lady Hillary Clinton and President Donald Trump. The ad was produced and published October 31, 2016 by Priorities USA in an effort to discredit Donald Trump and show Americans that Hilary Clinton was the best choice for presidency. Throughout the presidential campaign Donald Trump was criticized about his sexist behavior, accused of sexual harassment and victimizing women. Priorities USA used these accusations as a kairotic moment eight days prior to the election to persuade women to vote for Hilary Clinton. The “You Make Me feel” political advertisement uses Aristotelian rhetorical appeals, logos, ethos, pathos and metaphors to persuade the target audience, women, to vote against presidential candidate Donald Trump because he doesn’t respect women.
In my paper, I will analyse Donald Trump’s political activities before and after the election to get an objective viewpoint of America’s President. We’ll start off with the history of Trump, both personal and political, to see whether there was some sort of significant development over the years indicating a tendency towards ‘good or evil’. Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.
