In-Class Mini Rhetorical Analysis #1

Generally, I was very intrigued and interested by this specific post. Donald Trump over the last year has become either the most hated or loved man in the country so seeing this post about him seemed iconic to me. Mr. Trump posted a photo on the app of Twitter of him eating a taco bowl in his illustrious Trump Tower office. Donald Trump's intention in this post is to relate to the Hispanic community in order to add more votes of that specific minority audience of Hispanics. This type of a appeal is a pathos appeal because he is trying to sort of appeal to the Hispanic culture by feasting "their" type of food. Mr. Trump, being the author, feels content and confident in posting the picture because he feels that with this specific post he will encourage the Hispanic population to follow him in his presidential campaign. Trump also mentions in a hashtag post, "#CincoDeMayo" pertaining more of his attention to the Mexican audience. That's what's most significant about the post, how he is able to purposely, after some rude racist remarks about the Mexican people, attain back that audience he lost by appealing to their culture in that regard.
