Objectivity is an area in which all news reporters find difficulty. While newspaper articles are meant to be objective in nature as reporters are meant to simply report the news with facts as their basis, Editorials and the like are free to be subjective nature basing the stance one takes on a topic purely due to one's opinion or how one feels about the topic. This struggle is always present as one can see with the recent presidential candidate, Donald Trump. In the article by the Huffington Post which is titled "Donald Trump Has Already Won", the author, William Harwood, writes about the question that many Americans have asked themselves about this upcoming presidential election, "Has Donald Trump already won the election?" He responds to the question with both anger for the aforementioned Mr. Trump and an air of respect and awe at what Mr. …show more content…
The author claims that "one thing is certain: Mr. Trump cannot lose. Because he's already won." He uses language such as "foolish" to describe those who expect Trump to lose. He goes even as far as to swear on several occasions throughout the piece, showcasing his emotional attachment to the topic in question. The author presents no real fact to the topic of Trump's victory, but merely speculates and implies his own outcomes based on how he feels about the candidate and the candidate's views. In continuation, the article published by The Christian Science Monitor showcases the other side of journalism. The author, Peter Grier, writes about the same topic as Mr. Harwood, yet he manages to convey the news to the reader without injecting much of his opinion. He states that Trump may win and then presents both
Nicholas Kristof’s “3 Peerless Republicans for President: Trump, Carson and Fiorina”, deems the leading candidates from the Grand Old Party unfit for presidency, and the public’s fixation with them a temporary affair. Multiple previous controversies being detailed, and the use notably bleak statistics help undermine the contenders while urging voters to look elsewhere. Kristof utilizes harsh diction with a simple, yet critical tone to denounce the trio, and further his own
The highly controversial book by Michael Wolff highlights the current Trump administrations processes, from the beginning of his campaign, through the transitory period, and well into the first year of Mr. Trump's presidency. The book is based on both on and off the record interviews with the staff, political advisors, and other friends of those in the White House conducted by the author in a very “fly on the wall” setting where he was allowed to stay in the White House simply because nobody was telling Mr. Wolff to leave. Using these interviews, the author paints a picture of how the President is constantly manipulated by those around him, how he is extremely unprepared for his position, and how he is regarded by those around him. The nature
The author starts out the article using a humorous anecdote by comparing Trumps and Clinton's expressions while talking about the
The article 'Did Trump Win the NFL Fight?' , by Scott Jennings, informs readers about Donald Trump's fight against NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem.

The text also contains information regarding the Democratic party.
Bill O’Reily in his article “Trumps Silent Plurality” argues that President elect Donald Trump, despite wide opposition by the “Left Wing” media and experts has managed to win the presidential election as well as “rewriting the manual the manual for how to run a presidential campaign. O’Reily supports this claim by introducing the perspective of a trump supporter, giving reasons for why and how Trump was opposed, and finally he explains the importance of the elections results and how they will affect the future. One of the most salient strategies O’Reily employs in order to convey his argument is addressing the situation from a new perspective. From the onset of the article the reader is introduced to the mindset of a fairly informed American voter, who finds presidential candidate Donald Trump very
In the article “Is Starbucks’s Howard Schultz the Liberal Donald Trump” the author does a remarkable job of using rhetorical tools and skills in order to help convince the audience. Many different techniques are used in the article in order to get the audience to believe that Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz, is in fact a great fit for presidential candidate. The author, David Graham, makes it seem as if he himself studied under both Aristotle and Cicero by using many examples of their methods very effectively. He uses inductive and deductive logic, along with code words such as “venti” that only avid coffee drinkers and Starbucks enthusiasts will know. All three arguments, ethos pathos, and logos are used in order to make Graham’s essay optimal and very persuasive, along with skills that make this article a prodigious example of clever rhetoric executed by the author.
This presidential debate brings up many perspectives and conflict in which candidate would make a better president. Simply said, this presidential race, is like no other. In the article “If Necessary, I’ll Vote Trump Over Hillary,” that was published in February 24, 2016 by Nicole Russel, does not represent a good overview of the both candidates due to her bias opinions The Federalist Article, lacks details of Trump, but explores in depth of Hillary. Russel explains how “Clinton Has a Terrible Track Record” by breaking down the issues she faced as the Secretary of state. Furthermore, Russel explains how Hillary is proven to be a liar, and a example such as her “illegal” use of a personal email was brought up.
They’ll be very, very thrilled.””. In this passage, the author is suggesting that politician Donald Trump believes he will win the nominations and, eventually, the election to become president. Although he seems to have gained several victories,
Lowry begins the column with exaggeration, stating that Trump crushed the board in New Hampshire, results presidential nominees usually receive. He moves on to insult the supporters of Trump saying he is being voted for due to their “lazy complacency”. Lowry places emphasis on Trumps current victories noting that the issue is not Trump fading out, it is him being stopped. He does this to show severity and point out the level of achievement Donald Trump has received. Trump is now true competition.
But if I did, I'd win" (Source A). Not to long after he said this, he ran for president in 2016 and ended up winning against presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Some big things that helped Trump win the election were things like she lied, she sent out thousands of private emails, and she even cheated in the election. “Her choice to use a private e-mail address and server for governmental affairs while she held the post of secretary of state” (Source B).
Republican Candidate Trump describes the final results from the Iowa Presidential Election as fraud. From Trump’s tweet, a reader can understand that he’s feeling jealous plus very angry from the unexpected results. Donald Trump wishes for his people to see the outcome of the election from the same point of view
“Trump could be funny and charming when he wanted to be, and everyone in a new job got a honeymoon period with the boss” (Grisham, 2021, p. 190). Fourth, Trump scores low on agreeableness, asserting his own rights and becoming irritable, uncooperative, and rude. Grisham had been on both sides of Trump’s anger, witnessing and receiving the brunt of it. Grisham describes this anger as “swift, loud, jarring, vicious, and not always just” (Grisham, 2021, p. 194). She further described tactics he employed, stating that he would go after “whatever he thought would do the most damage to someone’s psyche” (Grisham, 2021, p. 198).
Since no incumbent is running, the American people are faced with a choice—a new choice—and many are choosing Republican candidate Donald Trump simply because he is playing off of the fears of other people, especially with xenophobia. No bipartisan support has been shown to the candidate; instead there has been revetment and condemnation of the billionaire. When Trump first announced his candidacy, most people thought he was a joke. As he started to prove that he wasn’t (according to the numbers, at least), the other Republicans rode his coattails, but to no avail. Regardless, though, of his apparent success, a Dark Horse will quite possibly emerge and defeat the frontrunner.
Fallacies in political speeches: Donald Trump announces he is running for president. Donald Trump’s one very distinct “ability” is making a vast amount of people react to what he says. Be it good or bad, this makes him gain more attention not only in the United States, but all over the world. At the end of the day, what really matters is if his statements have, in fact, any effect on people’s votes. So for those who are not yet sure about his sincerity, it only takes a not to deep analysis of his speeches to spot serious fallacies.
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.
