Donald Trump's Address
For my second media response, I chose to analyze Donald Trump’s Presidential speeches. Donald Trump is currently campaigning for the American 2016 President election in the United States. His first campaign as President was in the year of 2000, with two victories of Reform Party primaries (Wikipedia). Trump became well-known for his hatred towards illegal immigration and free trade agreements, in addition, to his free trade view on foreign policies. (Wikipedia). Trump owns his own company called The Trump Organization, he is the President and the Chairman of his companies (Wikipedia). He is also the founder of the gaming and hotel enterprise of the Trump Entertainment Resorts, but it is now owned by Carl Icahn (Wikipedia). During Trump’s speeches, …show more content…
During Trump’s speech on January 29th, 2016, he argues that Ted Cruz ineligible to run for President of United States since he is also a citizen of Canada. Ted Cruz is also running a campaign for President of America. However, Donald Trump does not like the “fact that he was born in Canada and he has had a double passport” (Epps). Donald trump believes that to be able to run for president of United States, an individual must be a natural-born citizen of America (Epps). Trump’s hatred on Ted Cruz threatens to sue him for not being a natural-born citizen of America, and also for all the negative ads about Donald Trump (Scout). In my opinion, Trump feels insecure about where he stands against Ted Cruz, which is why he persuades American citizens that Ted Cruz should not be able to run for President of United States. Since all the previous presidents were all born and raised in …show more content…
He is running campaigns for the American 2016 President election. In addition, Trump previously ran his first campaign as president in the year 2000 and had won 2 victories of Reform Party Primaries. First, in his speech on June 16th, 2015 he stereotypes that all Mexicans are people that hold crimes of being rapist which causes many controversies including the Hispanic groups and the Mexican government. Secondly, Trump’s hatred towards Ted Cruz because he has the title of being a citizen of Canada and the United States. Trump believes that to be eligible to be President of America is that one must be born and raised in the United States. Thirdly, Trump bans all Muslims from entering America due to some situations of confusion because of the deadly shootings in San Bernardino, California. He automatically assumes that it was the Muslims fault and takes away all their rights and freedom to enter America. Finally, Trump has many working-class supporter because he promises that he will improve the lives of the working class including the expansion of health care. Therefore, in Donald Trump’s presidential speeches shows many key concepts of cultural studies, such as stereotypes, citizenship, racism, and class

    On June 16, 2015, in the extravagant Trump Tower of New York City, Donald John Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidency. While most Americans raised their eyebrows in bewilderment, comedians erupted in a dance that Happy Feet would envy. His bombastic personality, amorphous hair, and poorly photographed facial expressions have become some of the most popular political punchlines. Critics dissect his statements and possible solutions until they seem unrealistic, and some are, like building a “YUGGEEE” wall to separate America and Mexico. While Trump is one of the most successful men in America, he is portrayed in media to be an ignorant idiot by YouTubers, comedy writers, and even respected…

    For example, the Justice Department sued Trump’s real estate company twice for not allowing black people to rent his apartments. The company gave different rental terms and conditions to black people that were unfair. The company also lied to them, saying their were no rooms available. During the presidential debates, Donald was asked about those claims and responded saying how an abundance of other companies have done that as well, as if that makes it okay for a future president to do so. In addition, Donald also attacked Muslim gold star parents verbally. Their son had died serving in the Iraq War. After the father gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention Trump said, “ If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”(Marans, “Here Are 13 Examples Of Donald Trump Being Racist). This remark is racist without a doubt and the effect of these examples are scary. He also accused Hillary Clinton of writing a script for the father which is rude and disrespectful.

    When it comes to communication, Donald Trump had a very unique approach. He does not “play it safe” at all. Instead, he is bold and rather casual in debates, and it works. Donald Trump is appealing to a younger crowd beginning with his communication strategy. He talks like he is in high school. He uses his words in a clear way where everyone can comprehend the message he is trying to get across. While it could potentially and did in fact offend people who find themselves more sophisticated, it appealed to the average person. Also, he has sort of mastered exploiting whoever his current opponent is. He proclaims whatever he wants about them, not paying much attention to the truth. For anyone who feels that they have lack of power or are voiceless,…
