Recently, the biggest issue in America is the presidential election. People talk about Donald Trump a lot and I wanted to actually hear his speech. This video was the debate between Republicans and Donald Trump. They started the debate with how Donald Trump illegally hired Poland workers. Then, they actually get into his plans. Donald Trump is obviously trying to persuade people to think he should be a president. Republicans are against him to be a president with reasons.
For all the topics, I found many fallacies from both Donald Trump and Republicans. Donald Trump used the ad hominem abusive against Republicans throughout debate. When Republicans started to talk about his business, he said, “You are wrong, You get along with nobody.” He spoke against the person speaking instead of attacking their argument. When Republicans ask Donald Trump about his healthcare plan, he used the begging the question to answer. He repeated himself that he has a great plan by different ways. He does not suggest specific examples or plans. Republicans also used ad hominem circumstances against Donald Trump. He hired Poland workers for his company illegally. It does not mean he will fail to build the wall for Americans or have a good healthcare plan. To disprove Donald Trump’s health care plan, Republicans used both straw man fallacy and fallacy of bifurcation. They asked, “So, are you going to let them die on the street? How about them? Or use the money from Government?” Republicans described his healthcare plan extremely bad and only gave two extreme options: Let people die on the street or use all the money only for health care. Donald Trump’s health care plan could be difficult for homeless people to pay it, but it does not mean he is letting them die on the street. There could be so many ways to perform his plan, but they sounds like there only are two options.
This debate could be interesting for some people, because it was funny to watch. Donald Trump and Republicans basically yell at each other and get frustrated. Some of their words were funny. However, it absolutely was not a good debate for me. They both made some good points, but they used many fallacies. Arguments and reasons were terrible. I cannot choose which side is better or worst. It was funny, but logically wrong.

Yep after I read your post, I want to watch his speech because I want to know how he used rhetoric in his speech
ReplyDeleteI think they probably just post man said, performing or acting, and trying to make each other embarrassing. Although I am not an American, I still hope a great man gonna become the next president of this strangest nation.
ReplyDeleteI am very interested about Donald Trump, for me, it seems that this man has no rhetoric. so I will watch this someday. It will be fun.
ReplyDeleteYou chose a good topic with numerous fallacies and did a god job picking them out. I agree with you, the more heated the debates get, the funnier they are, but the fallacies in use were cause for distraction
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job pointing out the fallacies used.
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job summing all of the inconsistencies from this debate up into a small post. I'm sure many people could go on and on about this debate. You did a good job summarizing this.
