Donald Trump's Case: Donald J. Trump
I chose to use the starburst method of analyzing a conflict that I have observed in the media very frequently between various political pundits and the Republican nominee for president in the United States, Donald J. Trump. Mr Trump is a businessman with no experience in public service but he has seemed to persuade a portion of the country that he has the skills to make American "great again" with some sort of incredible plan that he can't reveal to the world, otherwise it won't work for some reason. When you analyze Donald Trump and his behavior, you see a man that has some very childish tendencies at times. He likes to throw jabs back at people that insult him or speak about him in an unflattering manner. He has even gone as far as to sue people that have said things about him that he didn't appreciate. One example that comes to mind is when Trump sued comedian Bill Maher, host of Real Time on HBO which is a show about politics in the United States. Many politicians have a problem with not only Trumps overall demeanor and attitude, but his policy ideas and his unwillingness to back down from bad ideas. I would use the starburst method to analyze the conflict between Trump and many prominent figures that appear on media programs that have problems with Trump making his …show more content…
What can Trump do about the people who have such a negative view of him? What kind of person decides to vote for Trump? What are some of the things about Trump that make him unfit to lead? The fact of the matter is, Donald Trump can get away with saying just about anything without getting in serious trouble by his supporters. In fact, even if Trump states that he can shoot somebody in the middle of the street and still get more votes than other presidential candidates, he doesn't quite feel the backlash that many members of the political establishment have become accustomed

    Still, the safety of these estimates can be compared with actual field measurements upon the return of the evacuees. However, the high degree of compliance with the stipulated limit in all the towns suggest that additional protection measures would be unnecessary, especially for the indoor residents. Overall, the relationship between the external ambient and individual doses was critical to predicting the annual doses per evacuee upon returning home to either of the areas under investigation. Generally, the doses for external exposure were much higher than those for internal exposure. Perhaps, the time of exposure in outdoor settings might have provided more realistic predictions of individual dose…

    While discussing Trump’s business acumen Epstein felt it was necessary to establish that business success doesn’t correlate to political success, however, the two are not mutually exclusive and Trump could be multi-talented. The article also felt it was necessary to mention that Epstein had never read Trump’s book, it also then goes on to criticize the book by stating he has no interest in reading “The Art of the Deal.” This unnecessary and critical comment further enforces the idea that Epstein believes Trump is not fit to be president. In the concluding paragraph Epstein cements the idea that financial success does not transfer to political success. He then goes on to criticize Trump calling him arrogant and claiming his business prowess won’t transfer to his political career. Some of these statements may be based off of truth, but, to be a subjective article one can not put personal opinion in their…

    On June 16th at his very own Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump announced that he would be running for president. It was only thirty seconds into his speech when Trump committed his first fallacy. In an attempt to insult the intelligence of his fellow GOP candidates, he compared their incompetence toward air conditioners to their supposed inability to beat ISIS. “They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work,” “How are they going to beat ISIS?” This is a bad example fallacy due to his use of an example that fails to prove the conclusion and has little connection to it. Despite the complete lack of relation between Trump’s example and his conclusion, he was still able to provoke the audience into feelings of contempt toward the other…

    In the politically motivated masterpiece Constructing the Political Spectacle, political scientist Murray Edelman argues that, politicians play with ambiguous language and false constructs to manipulate public ideology on current events. The author illustrates that by doing so, politicians can sway public opinion on matters that align with the goals of politicians. This analysis illustrates how President Trump utilized the elements of Edelman’s political spectacle in the 2018 State of the Union Address. This analysis identifies how President Trump constructs problems and enemies from within our country by illustrating how he plays on the opposing viewpoints of liberals and conservatives. By focusing on polarizing issues such as immigration,…

    In this episode of Washington Week we watch as Susan Davis, Alexis Simendinger, Michael Duffy, and John Harwood discuss the issue of how Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz use Donald Trump as a punching bag in the last Republican debate and if it altered Trump's campaign indefinitely. In the beginning of this episode we see how Trump, Rubio, and Cruz battle each other to prove who would be a better president, however Cruz and Rubio were prepared to team up and bombard Trump with child like arguments. For example, Rubio calls Trump a con man and gets a laugh out of the audience when he says, “Well now he’s repeating himself” and that Trump, “wanted to make sure his pants weren’t wet”. Likewise, Cruz reveals to the audience that Trump says he will go to…

    In“Trump’s Bluster Is Heard Around the World,” an article published on Yahoo! Politics by Gregory Katz, sarcastic tone and vivid descriptions portray Donald Trump as a selfish human being to manipulate readers he will not be a good president. Katz’s sarcastic and criticizing tone adds to the negative view of Trump presented in this article;“His is clearly a recognized name worldwide, which is not to say it's a beloved one.” Katz then proves this point by quoting individuals from around the world. In the first description of Trump, a woman who lives next to a Trump resort calls Trump a spoiled “strange fish.” She then describes his toddler-like tantrums, causing an image of diaper wearing Trump whining and flopping for what he wants to pop into our heads. Katz’s next proof is a video of Mexican comedians dressed as Donald Trump performing an act written from his statements. The comedians are all wearing fake guts, Neanderthal clothing, and blonde wigs. Katz writes, “It's striking how many people know of him at all,” as if Trump is some new American celebrity who is just now getting attention for his statements. It is almost impossible to not recognize the Trump name. His name is on everything he owns, and he owns buildings, programs, and boats worldwide. Trump had been known by the world way before he decided to run for president. To end the article and finish his characterization of Trump, Katz writes,“That would be one side of Trump that few if any have seen — one who says ‘sorry’.” Like Buzzfeed and Alphacat, Katz includes mockery of Trump so viewers will chuckle at their possible leader. This humor alongside Katz’s sarcastic and condescending tone alarm readers that Trump is well known, not well…
