He won the presidency largely because of his rhetoric, and despite committing gaffe after gaffe, violating every norm identified by pundits and scholars alike about how a presidential candidate should talk, and presenting a message that was antithetical to the rhetorical vision of the greatest conservative hero of the last forty years, Ronald Reagan. Robert C. Rowland argues that Trump's rhetoric is defined by the themes of nationalist populism and by a rhetorical persona casting himself as first an outsider hero who could achieve near magical results and later, after assuming the presidency, as a more radical version of that persona, moving toward the role of heroic strongman. Rowland shows that, while these three elements are found in all of Trump's campaign and presidential rhetoric, there has been development over time toward a more extreme variant of all of these themes. The Rhetoric of Donald Trump traces the evolution and radicalization of Trump's message in rallies, in formal campaign settings, in policy and ceremonial speeches, and in his tens of thousands of tweets. This is an essential book for understanding what Trump reveals about the status of the modern presidency and the role of rhetoric in the American political system"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- $x Language. 600 17 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00174117 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Election $y 2016. 650 0 $a Rhetoric $x History $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Communication in politics $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Populism $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2017-2021. 650 7 $a Communication in politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870243 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Language and languages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992154 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Populism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071658 650 7 $a Presidents $x Election. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075747 650 7 $a Rhetoric $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01096959 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 2000 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031111.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802015505.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220601010607.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B9BC0C8CDEE811EBB94CC8CD21ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
