Strategies used by Donald trump for his election campaign to talk about immigration.
1. INTRODUCTION:
I hope my literature will help to understand the strategies which are used by politicians to address/ignore issues which are either owned by a party or is an issue of salience from the general public or is a not a clear-cut overlap. and lessen the effect of any election’s candidate campaign.
In this review, I shall dwell into the different strategies Donald Trump uses to talk about issues like immigration. The main body of my review is divided into three paragraphs: first, second and third. In the first paragraph, I critically assess the environment the voters are surrounded by have an effect on how voters react to candidates. In the second

56). We can witness this phenomena in political campaigns where the voters obtain messages about the campaign from different sources. So, these very anti-immigration messages can either support the voters belief that US has a lot of illegal immigrants and the government should do something about it or make the voters feel that immigrants are not as bad as the media or politicians portray them to be. So, the biggest challenge for Donald Trump is to spread his message on immigration through any media source in such a way that it either strengthens the voter’s prior information about immigration or make them support strict immigration reform. This challenge, however, may not matter much because the voters are getting a constant exposure to news about immigration since he is always addressing the issue and there are always crime-related news in mainstream American media. So, for majority of the voters, who do not know the exact number of crimes and harm caused by illegal immigrants in the US, somehow make a connection between the two. As a result, the probability of voters’ to vote for an anti-immigrant party is drastically increased. The more, henceforth, immigration is talked about and the more crime related news keep coming, voters are ikey to vote for anti immigration party. This may explain why Trump is leading in most of the polls, not because voters like …show more content…
Because his goal, it seems, is to achieve a strategic advantage by making problems which reflect owned issues the programmatic meaning of the election and the criteria by which voters make their choice (John R. Petrocik, Aug., 1996) After all, he is a businessman marketing himself but like any politician, he is also “giving” incentives to offer solutions, and has already tried to avoid blame for problems or inaction, Weaver 1986), done by his party by representing himself more than representing his party. (Green-Pedersen, Christopher and John Wilkerson.
The authors of the text also look at the interaction between race, region, and movement when looking at the evolution of American politics. As party elites and political activists have found a wider partisan divide in issues, the ordinary American still harbors the same general outlook on social and political issues as in the past. Despite or rather in spite of this, Americans are showing an increased lack of confidence in their government and elected officials. This lack of confidence over career politicians has fueled actions such as the election of Donald Trump who campaigned as a successful businessman apart from the ordinary politics of
In the Huffington Post article “Why Partisan Voting Makes Accountability Impossible”, Todd Phillips analyzes how social groups and political ideology heightens the response we have toward the candidate that represents our political party. Phillips states that social groups will vote for a candidate because of their loyalty to the political party, and not because of their issue advocacy. This loyalty is emphasized due their attachment to their social group. During times of an election, politicians will have different policies and stances on issues that can be seen as being more liberal or more conservative. However, this does not deter partisans from voting for their a candidate, since their loyalty lies within their attachment to their political
He then asserts that Trump successfully utilized oratorical tactics to manipulate the unconscious mental frames of voters for political support. He categorizes Trump’s oratorical tactics into repetition and “metaphorical thought”. Trump combined their usage to develop a person which subconsciously connects to voters by altering the way voters perceive his character. Using Trump, Lakoff effectively highlights the power and danger associated with “metaphorical thought” in political rhetoric. Nonetheless, he fails to account for Trump’s use of emotional appeal (pathos) embedded in his rhetoric, as a means of persuasion.
“Hardball” by Chris Matthews challenged my perspective on how politics works. Before reading Hardball, I knew that money and advertising played large roles in presidential elections. However, after reading Hardball, I have come to understand that rather than simply being a single factor out of many, money, advertising, and retail politics control almost all of any major election. The best candidate may not always win, but the candidate with the most corporate backing, funds, and connections will.
Donald Trump has been sweeping the nation in his efforts to win the Republican presidential nomination. When the media trains its lens on Trump, the country appears to be “roiled with across-the-board discontent” (Dionne). His public interactions have split the country into those who categorize themselves as the “silent majority” and those who react with complete dismay toward his radical propositions. But are Trump supporters really the “silent majority”, or are the voices of Conservatives “being amplified beyond all reason” (Dionne)? In E.J. Dionne Jr.’s editorial titled “Don’t Fall for the Media Distortion about Trump”, the popularity of Trump is questioned and analyzed based on the media’s portrayal of his political race.
The election is over and Donald Trump is now poised to be the 45th President of the United States. In “How Donald Trump Brought Populism to Washington” (2016), Matthew Continetti’s article seeks to analyze the strategies deployed by the Trump campaign that spoke directly to citizens feeling disenfranchised by political authority. The key to a successful presidential campaign came down to message. “Make American Great Again was clear, direct, and appealing to voters who believed the country in which they grew up, and for a time prospered, was transforming into something they did not understand, did not condone, and had no agency within” (Continetti, 2016). Having no public service experience, Trump capitalized on nostalgia of the United States
By now, anyone who has paid attention to this presidential election cycle understands how Donald Trump behaves. When attacked or criticized, the GOP Presidential Nominee “counterpunches” with his own attacks and criticism which almost always come out harsher and unconventional. In the media, his responding rhetoric is largely portrayed and spun as the latest “new low” for his candidacy. To his adversaries, Trump’s response further proves their point he 's “temperamentally unfit” to be the President of the United States. For his supporters and the multitude of neutral independents, it matters less what Trump says when countering attacks.
"We can secure the border and reform our immigration system without inflammatory rhetoric, without base appeals to divide us," Perry said. Reminding the crowd of his 14-year tenure as governor of Texas, Perry noted how his state borders Mexico and he secured the border when President Obama refused to do so. The real estate mogul began his campaign on talking heavily about the immigration problem and how Mexico sends murderers and rapists across the border. This helped Trump gain momentum throughout the summer, which resulted in huge support and leading the polls in first of the nation states as well as nationally. "Demeaning people of Hispanic heritage is not just ignorant, it betrays the example of Christ,” Perry said.
“..Republican front-runner businessman Donald Trump, says he’ll undo Obama 's executive orders on immigration,” Article Two Sisters Two Americas by Brooke Ross states on page 11 in the New York Times Upfront April 4, 2016 edition. This has sparked outrage among people who know that most of the immigrants are good people who are trying to flee from violence that threatens to tear apart their lives. Brooke Ross helps people understand what life is like for families with a mixed-status and what we need to do about illegal immigration in her article Two Sisters Two Americas. By showing both sides of the big Democrat v Republican fight on what should be done about illegal immigration she lets people come to their own conclusions. The evidence however is firmly in favor of helping the immigrants by offering a path to
Trumps entire campaign over the last 15 months is based around the illegal immigrants and how he has a mass deportation plan of the Mexican's. Trump also says that it will stop the poisoning of the U.S. from all the drug trafficking that will be eliminated
Trump also addressed trade. The first trade agreement he promised to replace in his campaigns was the NAFTA trade deal. He again acknowledged the opposition when he stated this in his union address, “Many politicians came and went, pledging to change or replace NAFTA, only to do so, and then absolutely nothing happened.” However, unlike past administrations Trump takes this opportunity to share that he was able to replace NAFTA and sign a new fair-trade deal. Through various themes, Trump continues to rely on ethos to build trust with his audience, which he then expands on with the use of
American Voters desire an Authoritarian figure like Donald Trump Americans fear what they don’t understand. However, in 2016 People that voted for Obama would also end up voting for Trump. In fact, American voters are easily conditioned by the media rhetoric, when news target is a certain ethnic group talking about crime, poverty and terrorist attack. For example, the news media correspondents warn us that possible terrorist attacks will happen just like 9\11.

In my paper, I will analyse Donald Trump’s political activities before and after the election to get an objective viewpoint of America’s President. We’ll start off with the history of Trump, both personal and political, to see whether there was some sort of significant development over the years indicating a tendency towards ‘good or evil’. Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.
local government or other organization, and big multinationals can influence the decision of government make. Another type of influence that countries have on each other is because of education. English is a perfect example of mixing education among different countries. English has spread across the world like a wildfire. Countries use English as the global language and this has had a huge influence on education in individual countries.
