Donald Trump: The Rhetorical Challenger

For the second unit of Rhetoric, we investigated what it means for an idea or person to challenge the status quo. Throughout our internal and external investigations, we looked at many examples of current and historical figures and how they stood up to certain ideas or oppressive figures. For our Action Project, we were asked to choose a person that we thought was a rhetorical challenger. For my project, I chose Donald J Trump. While I do not support him in his candidacy for the President, I thought it would be beneficial to put on a new lens to see him in a way I hadn't before.
