Trump Controversy
Donald J. Trump: The name alone either evokes tears to people that fear doom of the United States or the exact opposite. Currently, he is a major topic of controversy not only between politically affiliated people but on a global scale as well. Sources whether they be personal blogs or official articles,provide a wide range of misinformation and different credibility standards while portraying biases on whether or not they are against or support these accusations. The verbal warfare surrounding Trump's name has made him receive worldwide attention. At a South Carolina rally, Trump was seen flailing his hands as a possible mockery of Serge Kovaleski who suffers from congenital joint condition. Upon the current political sides whether it may …show more content…
The article then proceeds to question why Trump would imitate a man who has difficulty moving at least one of his limbs by madly thrashing his own. Evidence pertaining to who might be the intended audience is, “ is it asking too much for these people who are constantly attacking him to actually know what they are talking about? To be honest brokers of information? To be just a bit judicious?”( Kerry Jackson), and how this refers to the intended audience is words used such as ridiculous and fake referencing that the audience are people who similarly think that the social media bashing this topic are not aware of it in anyway. This article or source proves to be not credible due to the amount of bias shown towards the “lies” directed toward the event surrounding Trump’s name and accusations that evidence is apparent of being fake and a form of support to the anti-trump and anti- republican ideology. Statements such as “The lesson here is while the Democrats, and the branch of the DNC that’s also known as the media, are doing all they can to smear Trump as a depraved, crude and hateful man, the people who best fit under those terms are his accusers.”( Kerry Jackson) , leaves …show more content…
Trump was responding to actress Meryl Streep, who criticized the incoming president in a speech at Golden Globes. Compared to the other articles this one appears to be slightly more credible and shows minimal biases as it provides evidence and views both sides of the argument portray. The intentions geared toward the audience are of those who simply want to be aware of the general idea of the crisis but are also on the slightly bias side of supporting the video evidence and that he was responsible. “President- elect Donald trump again denied mocking a reporter for a physical disability in a series of tweets on Monday, even though he clearly appears to have done so while on the campaign trail in 2015.”(Dana Liebelson) , the author summarizing the general idea of the events provides insight on a series of tweets Donald trump was responsible for contradicting the video evidence of him “clearly” doing so during his campaign trail in 2015. Evidence pertaining to the impact left on the reader and society is the fact that trump previously stated that he would never mock a person with a disability because he spends “millions a year, or millions of dollars on ramps, and get rid of the stairs and different kinds of elevators all over”(Dana

    In his 2016 Time editorial “Politically incorrect? Or master strategist? Try both,” basketball icon and human rights activist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar claims that presenting examples of extreme political correctness allows the political incorrect to deny the problem exist at all. Jabbar makes an effective argument using mockery and pathos. Jabbars clever use of mocker throughout the article helps his argument. He writes, “The real problem, they want to tell us, is the cure. As do vaccination deniers and climate change skeptics” (Jabbar Para. 10). This is a subtle jab at the Republican party and is meant to discredit the party. Jabbar uses this mockery throughout the article and if not looked over carefully it may go unnoticed. It is used to…

    Her strong use of analogies helps the reader visualize what she is trying to say and make connections. In Dowd’s March 18th column on a power-hungry Trump (“Trump, Working-Class Zero”), she compares Donald Trump to King Lear, “As he rages in the storm, Lear-like, howling about poisonous fake news, he is spewing poisonous fake news” (“Trump, Working-Class Zero). This quote provides the reader with a new perspective on Trump and allows them to see him in a different light. In an earlier column published on February 25th about Trump’s untraditional relationship with the media (“Trump vs. Press: Crazy, Stupid Love”), Dowd states, “It’s going to end like all those plays and movies – From ‘Othello’ to ‘Endless Love’ – where the mutual attraction is so powerful, it’s toxic” (“Trump vs. Press: Crazy, Stupid Love”). Dowd is saying that the relationship between the media and Trump is unhealthy, and is bound to end…

    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…

    "He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in us, rather than the best. His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control."…

    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…

    Speaker’s use diction, syntax, and imagery to reflect their tone. In her final argument, Clinton says “After the world watched with horror as the twin towers fell, he called in to a New York TV station, and even on that horrible day when thousands of people lost their lives, he couldn’t stop himself from pointing out that now, because the towers had fallen, a building he owned was the tallest in Lower Manhattan.” Hillary Clinton's use of words like “horror” and “horrible” sets an apathetic tone. By setting this tone Clinton hopes to show voters how self-centered Donald Trump is. While Clinton strives to prove that Donald Trump was self-centered, Trump ventured to show that Hillary Clinton was crooked. Donald Trump first called Hillary Clinton…

    Hillary said that Donald rooted for the Housing Crisis and that he hoped that it collapsed because then he could buy it and make more money. Which I believe is not something that I would want my president (the person who runs the country) to say or to be proud of. She goes on to remind us that during this particular time nine million people lost their jobs, five million people lost their homes, and thirteen trillion dollars in family wealth was wiped out. Putting it out there to show that this is not something that a person that is a candidate to run a country or any person for that matter should be proud of. Next, she reminds everyone that Donald has been the only candidate that has not released his tax returns. This raised so many questions on why he has not completed this process yet. Is he as rich as he so claims himself to be? Has he payed any of his taxes at all? These questions will remain until he eventually or if he ever does. Then she proceed to bring how Donald Trump had cases about him being sued for racial behavior. Things such as having owned residences but only allowing whites to stay there and making sure his employees knew about his racial system as well by not going against his policy. Donald tried to say he didn't believe Hillary had the proper stamina to be the president of the United…

    During a December 2nd, 2016 episode of CNN’s At This Hour With Berman and Michaela, the show played an audio clip of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s harsh comments about president-elect Donald Trump’s recent meeting and dinner with potential Secretary of State Mitt Romney. On the surface, Gingrich is making a strong argument against Romney’s, in Gingrich’s words, “sucking up.” From a critical view, however, Gingrich actually commits one of several fallacies that often serve to weaken one’s argument. In this case, Gingrich uses an unsupported assertion in order to have his argument appear stronger than it actually is.…

    What have we come to in America when one of our only candidates is volatile and intellectually unfit to run for president? Jennifer Robin also states “that when forced into a corner, Trump will crack.” (Robin, Paragraph 8) Unfortunately, Mr. Trumps has a delicate, but monstrous ego, which enthralls his explosive unpredictable behavior. This campaign has been a whirl wind of irrational behavior, with back pedaling and rationalizing bad behavior, instead of just admitting when he has…

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. ... They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” When Donald Trump began his presidential campaign with this racist statement about Mexican immigrants, it was evident that his campaign would be focused on demonizing and stereotyping those who were not white, male and Christian. Despite this, Donald Trump was still elected President, primarily due to the support of white Americans in areas like western Wisconsin, northern Michigan, and western Pennsylvania. Based on his attitude toward racial relations throughout his campaign, it is clear that racial relations will be negatively impacted as a result of his presidency. Particularly, Donald Trump’s support of discriminatory and unconstitutional stop and frisk policies as well as his nomination of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, who is explicitly racist, as US Attorney General provide evidence that Donald Trump’s presidency will almost certainly have a negative impact on racial relations. However, people can work to mitigate this impact by calling their representatives in Congress and asking to oppose racist policies and nominations and by standing up to instances of racism that they encounter in their own lives…

    The Bush Administration was the administration that confronted this issue first and brought it into a big controversy. In its time the Bush Administration got to decide whether a vaccine should be required to attend a public school. Although this decision was not binding many states relied on it. One of the main problems people had with the administration was that it seemed to be religiously based. One can then infer that the Bush Administration is opposed to premarital sex and anything that would promote that. At the time of this article government policy already required one third of HIV prevention spending to go to abstinence until marriage programs. Many people wondered if this was based more on religious values rather than actual science. At times the government and the people within seem to take things to the extreme. One quote from the…

    His demeanor was seen as aggressive and urgent with little-to-no sense of empathy and more “straight to business” than anything else. Given the fact that Trump, at the time, was a presidential candidate trying to secure supporters and voters for his campaign, his approach on how to deal with this tragedy was not only to empathize with the victims of this incident but to raise awareness of the terrorist threat that had been plaguing the United States, as well as, to place blame on those responsible for this event (i.e. radical Islamic groups and the failing U.S. infrastructure). He used this event to strike fear in the hearts of American citizens. The enthymeme that can be observed in Trump’s speech is more of a stereotype than anything else, ‘the shooter is a Radical Muslim of Afghan descent, but since we cannot tell the difference between radicals and non-radicals, then all Muslims and people from the middle east must be…

    A fact that would refute my assertion would be Donald's Trumps recent success. Presidency is very important to most Americans, Donald Trump's unexpected success on winning the president election shows how the confidence and all the work he put into the election paid off for him. People were very surprised and some very upset at the outcome. Debates paid off for him and the actions he wants to take for America caught some people's attention. Before he had won the election, there were many bad things said about Donald but he still followed his dream of becoming the president of the United States to make America great again. Others say he shouldn't have won the election for multiple reasons such as being a disrespectful person by the comments he has made and the ways he wants to go about things for America because it makes him sound unfit for becoming president.…

    To begin with, Donald Trump will say anything that comes to mind on Media without considering the impact on the audience or the consequences and some of his claims make no sense at all. Here are a few examples, "Remember 'environment friendly' light bulbs can cause cancer" and "I beat China all the time. All the time". Donald Trump has numerous quotes that are wreck less and completely useless. He also doesn't have good communication skills to make his interviews look professional his vocabulary is basic too. Another example is when he said "It has not been easy for me my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.", now for a lot of people a million dollars is a…
