President Trump has made it clear during his campaign and his presidency that he is going to be bold and very outspoken compared to other past presidents. Author Jonathon Marcus utilizes charged diction and appeals to pathos to discuss Trump's new national security strategy, //www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42406212 . An example of charged diction is when he is giving his thought of the strategy; "It sets out a pragmatic view of a turbulent and troubled world and it recasts some of the president's favourite slogans - not least his consistent call to put "America First" - in a new and unexpected light.". Marcus believes that the new plan is reasonable and can work. When explaining part of the new plan, Marcus appeals to pathos by talking about what Trump thinks is best concerning nuclear missiles: "On the US nuclear arsenal, for example, the document says that the "US does not need to match the nuclear arsenals of other powers" but that it should "sustain a stockpile that can deter adversaries". This creates some anxiety for citizens of America or any nation involved in the talks of nuclear war. The authors purpose was to explain to the public what Trumps new strategy entails and the intended audience is mainly U.S. citizens but also anyone who would like to know what America will be doing.
