Homework #2 Rhetoric

Conan is a late night show host who is very satirical when speaking about the news. The tone of his voice conveys a seriousness type of vibe that many people might believe to be fact; including myself at times. In this example he is talking about Trump picking his vice president out of his presidential rivals, and when Conan is satirically quoting him people might believe Trump said this due to his past of directing derogatory statements at people. This somewhat relates to what Socrates was saying when people can lie to a degree to convince somebody of something. Conan is speaking a truth to a certain degree when he talks about Trump wanting a presidential pick from the candidates, and Trump did say those statements about a certain person while running for the republican nominee. So he can convince somebody who is somewhat ignorant on the subject that Trump actually said this because of his rhetoric.
