From the opening moments of the Republican National Convention, it was clear that Trump's campaign was in full swing. With grandiose promises and a call for unity, the former president accepted his party's nomination, invoking the grace of God for his survival of an assassination attempt. But beyond the rhetoric and showmanship, how much substance did Trump's speech really offer?
Professor Jennifer Mia, an authority on political language and Trump's rhetoric, joins us to dissect the former president's latest political speech. "Trump's speech was familiar, with less energy than before," she observes. "He was trying to convey that he has changed, but it was more in the tone of voice than in the content itself."
Indeed, Trump's speech seemed to focus more on performance than policy. The GOP put on a huge show, with Trump's name in big lights. But where does this leave the substance of politics? "Politics ought to be about compromise and problem-solving," Mia reminds us. "Unfortunately, American politics has changed over the last 30 years, becoming more about effective polarization than solving political problems."
This polarization is reflected in Trump's speech, which seemed to appeal more to his base than to a broader audience. He connected with them in a way that they enjoy, portraying himself as a famous businessman defeating their enemies. However, his detractors don't see him in such a positive light.
So, what does this all mean for President Biden and the current political landscape? Biden, a politician who likes to get down to brass tacks, seems to be facing an opponent who thrives on showmanship and rhetoric. As the polarization in American politics continues to rise, it remains to be seen how Biden will navigate this challenging landscape.
In conclusion, Trump's RNC speech seemed to prioritize performance over substance. While his rhetoric may have appealed to his base, it remains to be seen whether this approach will resonate with a broader electorate. As American politics becomes increasingly polarized, the need for compromise and problem-solving becomes even more urgent.
