Donald Trump: The Evolution Of Candidate

410 Words1 Page

In the political cartoon The Evolution of Candidate Donald Trump, many valuable points are brought up. The cartoon represents more a devolution than an evolution, which, in many ways, seems true. When looking at him from one point of view, Trump’s opinions seem primitive, and seem to become even more so as he “evolves”. Above the final image, a small monkey with Trump’s hair, is a black speech bubble asking, “Where is Obama’s birth certificate?” This represents the ways that Trump seemingly tries to bully the other candidates and President Obama himself. During many Candidates Debates, instead of talking about his platform, he brings up negatives of others, often that are not even true, such as that Obama wasn’t American, which forced the White House to release Obama’s birth certificate. Losing his argument, Trump continues to criticize and refuses to believe that it is, in fact, Obama’s actual birth certificate. …show more content…

According to Trump, although he doesn’t candidly announce it, President Obama is Muslim. Once Donald Trump brought this point up, many people were curious to find if he did in fact think that a Muslim president would, hypothetically, be a bad idea. To this, Trump does not reply directly. He simply states that he “love[s] the Muslims”, but some of them have “severe problem[s]”. This statement, however, seemed unbelievable due to an earlier comment: that all Muslims “have training camps growing where they want to kill

    Franklin Roosevelt’s speech says the following, “Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men.” Roosevelt uses words such as “stubbornness”, “incompetence”, and “unscrupulous” to underline the absence of morals in these money changers that have failed the American people. Barack Obama’s speech says the following, “Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.” Obama uses words such as “violence”, “hatred”, and “weakened” to stress the wrongdoing that have been committed by the previous leaders of the country. Both of the presidents use emotive language to illustrate the wrongdoings that have been committed by the previous

    Trump’s use of pathos is simple and repetitive. He claims, many times, that he will return safety to America, effectively ending crime and violence. Trump constantly paints the country in a dystopian light, emphasizing how terrorism and police attacks have placed the United States in a state of crisis. Besides making claims that crime is rampant, Trump also uses anecdotes to further incite the crowd. By mentioning stories about an immigrant killing an innocent American college girl and Iranian troops capturing American sailors, Trump highlights Americans’ safety concerns both domestically and

    In a race for only one winner, it begins with the attitude and personality each reveals to the audience. No one wants their president to be rude and vulgar. Donald interrupted Hillary 51 times in the debate; he made faces, rolled his eyes, and “rocked” his body when Hillary talked. He put on his “I do not agree with you” and “that is not true” faces. On the other hand, from the start of the debate, Hillary showed her confident smile. Unlike Donald, she started the evening by thanking the host, the audience and the university for sharing its place for the debate. While these are small things, they truly reflect a person’s upbringing, grooming, and understanding of social

    Main points: Donald Trump would make a very good president. Opponents of this view point of mine would have things to say like “Trump is a power hungry business mogul with a happy trigger finger” or that he is too forward and has no censorship of the things that he says to the public and press. They would also say somethings such as he would buy out who ever does not agree with him or will not let him do what he wants and that he could not run a full blown country with all the facets that comes with it.

  • Unveiling Trump: A Delve into his Troublesome Traits

    In the midst of one of the most controversial presidential elections in history, both political parties are struggling to prove that their candidate is the best choice. Clinton and Trump’s disapproval ratings are very low, but one has to ask, is there really a lesser evil to choose from? While Clinton has had her own fair share of past discrepancies, Trump’s track record proves much more troublesome. Donald Trump has proven to be an untrustworthy presidential candidate because of his misogynistic actions, his racial bias, and his corrupt business history. During the Republican debate on August 6, 2016, Trump had a falling out with Fox correspondent Megyn Kelly after she questioned him about some of his comments on women, where he referred to them as “’fat pigs’, ‘dogs’, ’slobs’, and ‘disgusting animals’,” (Bahadur).

  • Examples Of Unrelenting

    When describing Trump’s ability to effectively run the country, Blow highlights his “unrelenting assault” on “morality”, “ethics”, “truth”, “norms” and “decorum” in paragraph 11. By accusing Trump of unrelentingly assaulting cornerstones of the nation, Blow further portrays him as an unfit president, whose presence in office degrades the country. Describing the “assault” as “unrelenting”, Blow reasons that as long as Trump is in office, the standards of the nation will continue to be attacked and defiled; in other words, this degradation cannot be stopped by merely reasoning with the president but will dissipate once he is removed from office. By listing specific cornerstones that are affected by Trump’s presidency, Blow further urges readers

  • Ben Garrison Symbolism

    708 Words  | 2 Pages

    The United States (US) has always had some amount of political division, and this has become much more visible over the years. Much of the American public appears to genuinely believe that the Republicans and Democrats are fundamentally different and that these differences are near unreconcilable. Such beliefs were brutally apparent during the 2016 US Presidential Election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Despite this being the commonality, there are some outliers, some of which suggest that this division is nothing more than a façade. Illustrating his belief that the entire system is a fraudulent sham, Ben Garrison (the Rogue Cartoonist) draws an entity of truly massive proportions, marching onward as ever before whilst crushing people underfoot. Garrison uses a variety of symbolic images, including the enormous figure, the people on the ground, and the large megaphone to represent his perspective on the American political system.

  • The Nature of Man as Political Animal

    1732 Words  | 4 Pages

    Not everyone will agree with Aristotle's political theory, but it is essential to understand the principals that underline the new political theories. Aristotle's politics is one of the most influential books of political philosophy. His main ideology consists in that a man is by nature a political animal because he can reason and communicate with others, therefore, has the potential to alter or change his living conditions for better because he can recognize the difference from right or wrong. Aristotle is proposing that a man with reason has to base his approach towards politics on the fundamental concept of good for human beings. However, based on the evaluation of modern politics, we can conclude that the idea of politics aiming at the human good has diminished.

  • Man As A Political Animal Analysis

    1074 Words  | 3 Pages

    This essay will aim to discuss what Aristotle proposes by the statement “man is by nature a political animal”. When looking at this question, the first thing to establish is the meaning of the word ‘political’. We must consider the fact that in the time of Aristotle the word ‘political’ was taken to mean something quite different, it was used to encompass a much wider description. In terms of the classical definition, the word political can be directly related back to the Greek word ‘polis’. The word polis can be translated into the ‘city-state’. To be political, was to involve oneself in the polis, which was the city-state. The polis is where the majority of, if not all, social activity took place and for that reason “ all social life in classical Greece was ‘political’ as it took place within the polis” (Mulgan, 1990). Aristotle maintains the idea that in order for a man to be political, he must take part in all aspects of society, not just certain political affairs.
