Trump Ad

After reading about Trump's first 100 days in office, I saw an a TV commercial for Trump that celebrated his first 100 days in office. Watching it made me laugh at how it was made. The ad starts by saying that Trump has had more success than almost any other president in the first 100 days. They appeal with a weasel word because they say almost, not all. So even though they  make it seem like Trump has done better than anyone else, they say that there are still others who have done better than him. This is despite the obvious opinions to how they feel Trump has done. It then just lists all the great things he's done from certain sources. But the best part is that it says "You wouldn't know it from watching the news" with "fake news" across the screen. But Trump has called The New York Times and NBC fake news; yet he refers to their articles for the successes he has had. I don't know who they tried to trick, but it was funny watching this. Their intended audience had to be people who don't feel that Trump has done well as president so far. They point out the good he has done and put us at fault because we have been watching "fake news". But the ad contradicts itself by supporting the news sources and attacking them, saying that they lie. This ad for Trump is also made only as a rebuttal to the people who don't think that Trump has done well. I've never seen an ad for a president that celebrates their first 100 days in office, though I would've have only been able to remember one. Besides that, the whole purpose of this ad was to make Trump appear to be doing good things. They glamoured the ad with stats that seem good and even have a family holding an American flag, using Patriotism technique. But the whole thing was ridiculous to me and I had to laugh when I saw it. I saw all the tools they used to make this ad reflect positives of Trump, but because I know certain techniques and needs and words used in ads, I wasn't convinced at what they were "selling" me. Trump Ad
