Make America Great Again Speech

Improved Essays
Brian: Good evening everyone and tonight we look how real estate billionaire mogul Donald Trump became America’s first postmodern president, mocked and then broke every rule about how to run for office.
John: That’s right Brian, Trump’s long road to the White House, as a crass, arrogant, buffoonish, ruthless, and mean-spirited individual. He made fun of his opponents’ intelligence or physical appearance, delivering insults with the zest of a poor comedian.
Tim: "Make America Great Again." The four words that would help propel Donald Trump to the White House as the 45th president of the United States. Managed to insult half the female population yet still pick up enough votes to win.
John: However, many hats he sold, what cannot be disputed is that "Make America Great Again" caught on even though it had been used in previous elections by numerous

John: Trump won decisively in states across the country.
Brian: Trump has simultaneously been the most libertarian president since Thomas Jefferson according to political commentators.
Tim: Now that Trump is president, he must forge a governing philosophy beyond incendiary tweets, folksy slogans, and fiery campaign speeches. How is he going to make America great again?? At what cost?
Brian: The president-elect has an ambitious to-do list for the next four years: building stronger borders, keeping the country safe against terrorism, producing more jobs, investing in modern infrastructure. For someone who was so heavily doubted to win he is proving a point that money and ambition can give you power.
John: Ultimately, it will be up to the American people for whom "Make America Great Again" was a covenant, not a slogan, to decide whether the 45th president has lived up to his promise.
Brian: Well thanks for joining us tonight on The Global Truth we hope to see you next time.

    He said he was "asking all members of Congress to join me in dreaming big, and bold and daring things for our country." His uplifting message was dramatically different from Trump's usual rhetoric -- and also from his usual controversies.

    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.…

    Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Harry S. Truman, and Donald J. Trump were all addressing merely the same matter in the introduction of their inaugural addresses, However, Thomas Jefferson’s compelling speech possessed the most literary value. The importance of complexity of sentence structure cannot be stressed enough when writing a speech, especially one as important as an inaugural address. Thomas Jefferson not only acknowledged fellow American citizens for their support and respect in his election, but went above and beyond in his vocabulary choices in order to provoke the correct mood. For example, Jefferson used terms such as zeal, presentiments, and auspices, all of which add to the emphasis of the message being communicated.…

    Making America Great Again In his first ten days in office, the concept of "Trump's America" has shown itself already to be significantly different from any President prior and potentially any future, and his inauguration speech acted as a key method of setting the stage for this. Every four years on January 20th at 12pm is officially the beginning of a new presidency. People from all over the world come together as one, as they vigilantly await the inaugural speech that would presumably indicate the intentions of their future as a nation.…

    Currently, with the use of numerous resources of media outlets that are available in our society, there are four words that have been plastered across the nation. These four words are of course a slogan that is being used by Donald Trump in his presidential campaign. A campaign branded by the choice words of "Make America Great Again." What is meant by "Make America Great Again"? The use of the word "again" can be depicted in the way that the meaning behind the slogan and what it perhaps suggests is to return back to a halcyon time of greatness. The greatness that has been ruined by the likes of social movements such as feminism, or perhaps immigration is what has made America lose its appeal in the war upon greatness and as to which country conquers above all else.…

    7. Donald Trump has promised since day one of his bid to become president, that he would build a wall between the Mexican/American borders, and stop the flow of illegal immigrants once and for all. From a philosophical principle Trump is applying the teachings of Stuart Mills idea of the greater good, or utility, but also using the “Veil of Ignorance” among his supporters to get what he wants. Using Mills idea to of a greater good, Donald Trump is skewing it as a utility for the greater good of the United States.…

    The 2008 presidential election was the 56th presidential election and was held on November 4, 2008. Democrat Barak Obama was against Republican John McCain. The parties’ candidates focused mostly on change and reform in Washington, but in the last few months of the election campaign domestic policy and the economy surfaced as the main issues after the 2008 economic crisis. Obama’s ability to ensure voters that he could handle the economic crisis at the time and voters disapproval of the outgoing president George Bush and his policies, led him to his victory against McCain. This was an election of firsts; it was the first election in which two sitting senators ran against each other, both the current president and vice president did not run,…

    In the 1960s and 1970s, many of the men and women were educated and fought to have their concerns and beliefs heard. Studies showed that many of Trump’s supporters are “uneducated, older white people” and may have felt “forgotten” during Barack Obama’s two-term presidency. During the elections, Trump had very little to say about specific issues but rather stood his ground to “Make America Great Again.” Although Trump’s slogan hyped his audience, many Americans from both sides of the political spectrum, questioned when did America stop being great? Trump’s campaign survived on ideas he knew catered to the “forgotten” Americans, reflecting how racist the United States still is.…

    The slogan that propelled Donald Trump into his influence across the nation, “make America great again,” shows that Trump sees America has fallen downhill and has hopes to improve it. Trump wants to see this country go back to the prosperous country it once was, but he does not know how to filter his words according to most, which makes him seem frightening. Despite Clinton’s accusation about the risk of Donald Trump, his clever use of scare tactics gives voters a sense of security because of his ideas concerning immigration and terrorism. According to Molly Ball, author of “Donald Trump and the Politics of Fear,” Donald Trump uses fear to his advantage in hopes of winning the presidential election.…
