Donald Trumps ad called dangerous show us a video of military organizations all around the world on the rise and shows us Hillary Clinton not being able to stand up straight without the help of others. While in the background there is a speaker telling us Hillary has failed at being a secretary, doesn’t have the fortitude, strength, or stamina, and she should not be allowed to lead us.
This video uses logos especially when the voice talks about Iran promoting violence, North Korea threatening, and ISIS being on the rise. This is logos because is uses logic and facts that are true. These are real threats that the next president has to possibly deal with. Furthermore the video uses ethos because it shows her not being able to stand up right and her coughing. By showing us this, the video is trying to say it would be wrong to vote for a president who has no “stamina,fortitude, and strength.” Another example of ethos in the video is when the video says “She failed as secretary of state. Don’t let her fail us again.” This is ethos because it would be wrong to vote for somebody who has failed us once. Pathos is also in this video because the president is seen as somebody who is powerful and strong. Showing her at her weakest moments can trigger a emotional response because how can a “weak person” lead us.
The rhetoric is this video is directly targeted towards Clinton supporters. Trump is trying to show her supporters her weakness to lead a nation will fail us. The rhetoric is this video is trying show us with the growing dangers a weak president who has failed us once should not be voted for. His attempt to persuade voters to not vote for Clinton in this video is quite pathetic.
