NY Times Article

The audience is primed for the op-ed with the Presidential campaign of Donald Trump. The author of the article, Charles M. Blow, makes it very clear just by the title of the article that Donald Trump is the worst thing to ever happen in America. Through the sequence of events from running for President to groping whichever women he desires, the author makes his opinion present with his comments and adjectives. The author’s objective is clear and concise in that he wants to denounce Trump for everything that revolved around him in the news. Charles tells of how Donald Trump came about and his presence in America as well as Trump’s rise through the Republican party. Charles writes about the Republican Party with great hatred and denounces all credibility of the Republican party to be taken seriously.

Quotes:

“He looks pathetic.

He is a ball of contradictions that together form a bully, a man who has built a menacing wall around the hollow of his self. He is brash to mask his fragility.”

“He has dispensed with all semblances of wanting to appear presidential and embraced what seems to be most natural to him: acting like a pig.”
