Donald Trump Does Detroit: Article Analysis

Decent Essays
The op-ed I chose was Donald Trump Does Detroit by Charles M. Blow from the New York Times published on 9/5/16. The topic of the article was Donald Trump trying to get the black votes in Detroit. The author of the article is calling Donald Trump fake. Trump is saying what the people in Detroit want to hear for the votes by saying “we need a civil rights agenda of our time, one that ensures the rights to a great education and the right to live in safety and in peace and to have a really, really great job, a good-paying job.” But the author translates this to what Trump would really be doing in further weakening public education, flooding neighborhoods with police, and telling people to get off welfare and go get a job.

    According to the article Chicago Tribune's endorsement of Gary Johnson, the issue question of the author is the follow: What should tens of millions of voters who yearn for answers do with two major-party candidates they disdain? The reason for this question is because people wish to have another choice. The structure of the article is well done because it gives me background of the topic and the thesis, explains his point, and conclude by recalling his claim. However, the author did not explain what Gary Johnson’s opposition think about him as a candidate. In addition, the author talks about the credibility (ethos) that each candidate has for instance, Donald Trump is described as person that does not qualify for becoming a president because…

    White Supremacy, democrats, and the degradation of women are the main focuses of all columnist Charles Blow’s articles. As a biased author, Blow supports only one side of his argument; that President Donald Trump is a white supremacist and is doing more harm to our country than good. Although his main audience and focus is on anti-Trump supporters and democrats, his argument is also an attempt to sway Trump supporters over to the anti side. His evidence is weak because it is not factual, yet rather opinion based (i.e. surveys, polls, tweets, etc.). His arguments don’t open any new doors on the subject/topic, rather he just repeats the same information in each one.…
