Donald Trump's Ethos Pathos Logos
Donald Trump uses ethos to inflate his image more. When Donald Trump says “ I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people who cannot defend themselves. Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.” (Trump, Donald R.). This quote uses ethos because he is saying I alone can fix it which means that he is saying that he is the only one can fix it and he would be the better choice. Trump also uses ethos when he says “These are people who work hard but no longer have a voice. I am your voice.” (Trump, Donald R). This shows ethos because he is making his ego better by saying he is there for when you need something and he will be the voice to make the problem go away or to make it

    This public service announcement is a response to the need for change, regarding the distribution of wealth in the U.S. “The latest data shows that roughly 75 percent of the financial wealth in America is held in the hands of the top 10 percent of households. Or to invert this, 25 percent of all US wealth is divided up amongst the bottom 90 percent of the population.” (MyBudget360, 2013). Why should only 10% of Americans deserve 75% of the wealth? America is a country where everyone, whether you’re rich or poor, black or white, protestant or catholic, and democrat or republican there is supposed to be an equal chance to prosper and an equal voice in how this country is run. We are all supposed to be treated equally, yet only an elite, wealthy few are afforded privileges due to their financial status. In my view, the rich are in power and influence the most change, and it’s usually to help them become even richer.…

    Ethos is used in a very ideal way because, it tells how a Native American feels about how they are being stereotyped. This makes the author credible because she is using her real life examples to show first hand how people being are being mislead into the culture of Native Americans. This makes the article extremely convincing because the source of information, is coming from the best source possible, which the author herself. The source is the Native American author who feels down emotionally because of the stereotyping of Native Americans. There is no better source than this, and this source can give real life examples of situations that have occurred to them. Also, this source cannot be deemed uncredible, because there is no other source to go to that will tell you that the words of the Native American author are incorrect. Ethos deals with the credibility of an author, and I think the authors use this the best out of the three ideas, due to the fact of that the source that the authors used was the best source that could be used for this type of…
