Donald Trump's Identification

Improved Essays
Throughout Donald Trump’s revolutionary campaign there has come lots of uses of identification. Trump has used this identification to persuade his supporters like no other candidate before. Identification is “ the common ground between the speaker and the audience” (Griffin 299). In this case, it’s the recognized common ground between Trump and his supporters. Many people would probably believe there is not common between a billionaire and an average voter. But, I have been lucky enough to attend some of Donald Trumps rallies in New Hampshire. I was absolutely blown away by his personality and persuasion when I went to them. Before I went to one of his rallies, I can honestly say I was strongly against him becoming the next president of the …show more content…
Unlike most, Trump is willing to cause a ruckus in what he believes. As we turn back to the idea about dramatism, we look at the idea that Trump was first regarded as having no shot to win the nomination. And this was the same idea on the democratic side as well as it was said Bernie Sanders also had no chance to win the nomination. Trump’s message is about safety, growing the military and protecting our country from terrorists. Another, example about how Trump has shifted the paradigm of political rhetoric and especially dramatism is the idea of endorsements from various respected senators and governors. Various newspapers like the New York Times, wrote harsh editorials on Trump. In most normal campaigns that would kill any hope of getting the nomination but not Trump. If Hilary Clinton had a negative editorial written on her, her campaign for the president of the United States would be over. Trump though, is not one of those normal politicians who have been in Washington for years, Trump goes to his rallies and holds up that newspaper and rips it to shreds in front of his energized supporters. We as a society have never seen anything like this, this is called modern politics and the rhetoric that has come out of Trumps mouth is just the gift that keeps on giving. Unfortunately, some of the stuff he as spewed has been less than presidential but than again he might actually become the republican nominee in July. This new dramatism is something that will affect all further elections because people are tired of the cookie cutter Washington

    His campaign was invincible to the controversies of his mystery tax forms, to the revelation of 15 accusations of sexual misconduct and to alluding to the assassination of Hillary Clinton when any other candidate likely would have been destroyed by it. He did so by distracting the public with entertaining, though not necessarily important news. Just recently, for example, while President Trump was passing Executive Orders in his first week of his presidency, he effectively distracted the media and many Americans by creating empty controversy about the size of the crowd at his inauguration. People had a frenzy over comparing the pictures between President Obama’s inauguration and President Trump’s and pointing out the presidents’ lies. Meanwhile, President Trump sign an Executive Order mandating the construction of a wall at the US-Mexican border and asking for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act—both came into being with much less attention than they would have if people were not preoccupied with Trump’s inauguration…

    I remember when Donald Trump first announced his political run for office. He built his campaign on the slogan: We’re going to Make America Great Again, “reinforced” by his bold claim of “building a wall”. When Trump got down into the weeds with Megyn Kelly during the first Fox News Republican debate, I sensed Donald Trump was a proud and arrogant man. I went on my own campaign against him; making phone calls, writing emails, calling news agencies and talk shows, posting madly to Facebook — whatever I could do to try to stop a really bad person from wrecking the Republican Party and damaging the nation. NeverTrump was my obsession, but it was, at that time, merely political for me.…

    In the months to come, Trump will continue his campaigning process in hopes of gaining supporters who agree with what he has to say.

    The most interesting detail I learned from the books is that a candidate being able to connect with voters is one of the most important things a candidate must do to win the presidency. It can be seen in the 1992 election as Clinton was able to connect with people and make them believe that change was possible. Bush in this election was unable to connect and so even though he was president when the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union fell, he was unable to win the presidency. I believe this connects quite perfectly with the current election. Donald Trump was able to maybe not necessarily connect with voters, but he able to connect more than Hillary Clinton was able to.…

    Purpose The purpose of the text and videos were to present and prove the point that Mr Donald Trump isn’t someone who is strictly confined to what the media says. That he can differ and break the stereotypical viewpoints that have been placed upon him due to social media and other types of news. The reason that these news could be biased could be due to the fact that they had some kind of political agenda in which they would benefit from having the Liberalist Hillary Clinton as the president.…

    With years of experience with reality tv, like his long running show The Apprentice, and being a public figure, Trump is very effective at manipulating certain emotional reactions from people, a fact he is very well aware of. Trump doesn’t spend much time dealing with opposing view often dismissing them with a quick statement, he instead spends his time getting his message across to his audience. Whether because this is nearsighted or because he is aware that reporters will be nipping at his heels to get coverage over the slurs and attacks he makes, Trump makes effective uses of the time he has with his audience. With his experience working a crowd and his appeal to the pride, fear, and anger of republicans, Trump is very cleverly and successfully serving his ultimate purpose of becoming president by playing to the right audiences and by dismissing…

    Suburban Warriors Summary

    • 757 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Lisa McGirr’s book Suburban Warriors: The origins of the New American Right, published in 2001, examines the history of the conservative grassroots movement in Orange County, California during the 1960s and 1970s. With a “bottom up” lens, McGirr focused on ordinary people behind the grass-roots conservatism rather than the intellectual and political leaders. Historian Richard Hofstadter believed right-wing activists acted purely on their “psychological distress” rather than being motivated by a set of beliefs or “rational politics” (7). In response, McGirr argues that the ordinary people who created conservative grassroots were usually already involved with modernity. Many of them were mobile migrants who welcomed entrepreneurialism and already…

    The Political Spectacle is the idea of how politicians can manipulate public opinions and actions by diverting attention from more pressing social and political issues such as poverty, climate change, and racial inequalities. Many politicians take advantage of social constructs to draw attention to foreign threats. By doing so, they skillfully lessen the attention on domestic concerns. External threats tend to appeal to broader audiences and feed the fears of less informed individuals, whereas domestic problems seem to be focused on smaller sub-sets of individuals in a society.

    Auditory effects of the narration, along with soft but strong supporting music, enhances the visuals that appear on the screen. Using bright and dark color schemes to differentiate between positive and negative emotions, Trump is able to capture the essence of the average American and the collective groups that make up his silent majority. Trump’s argument for America is that he is the people’s voice. He is the only candidate willing and ready to take on the political establishment, and fight for the rights of middle…
