Compare And Contrast Obama And Trump's Speeches
Barrack Obama and Donald Trump's speeches were both very moving and inspiring. It seems that they both want change and to create a better place for everyone. They both acknowledge the past of America and understand how it molded the lives of Americans. However, they expressed their feelings and motives in a very different way. Obama appeared calm and determined, unlike Trump, he seemed ambitious and forceful. President Trump points out how "America has defended other nation's borders while refusing to defend our own", he seems to focus on only transforming the lives of "legal" Americans and only those Americans throughout his speech. Obama on the other hand, speaks in a way to include all, even those who aren’t here legally. After Donald

    Obama and Reagan’s position in the United States both started during hard economic times. While Reagans term was during the inflation period, Obama also addressed the weak economy he was faced with when he took office. These presidents have different views and ideas of how government works and how much government should be involved in citizens personal lives.

    As of Tuesday, January 21, 2009, President Barack Obama has proven to me that it is no longer a theory that I can be whatever I aspire to be. President Obama has the desire to see every individual in this nation succeed, and is charismatic enough to draw people together to achieve this goal by running the country, which is a beneficial need for all of us. Yet, President Obama and his wife Michelle have African ancestors like me. They also look like me, sound like me, and understand my experiences as a black American, and this is the point that I believe many black Americans wanted this nation to understand. This is the first time in my life that I feel like an American, and am proud to be an American.…

He specifically states and explains the problems with the different racial communities in order to discuss race relations and move on to show what he wants to do about it.…

    Donald Trump was elected on November 8th, 2016 and became the 45th president of the United States on January 20, 2017. The President’s speech was unlike any other, he gave a very populist message that was an influence on the campaign trail, as well. President Trump starts off his speech stressing the importance of joining “in a great national effort to rebuild our country” and then slowly moves on to basically subtweeting the last presidency. He states that DC has “reaped the rewards of the government” while the people do not receive any of it. He focuses on the problems of our nation but gives us no means to fix it; the promises made during his campaigns, such as the wall and the banning of Muslims, were nonexistent from his speech.…
