President Trump Delivers Remarks at Mack trucks in Pennsylvania

The job you're doing here is incredible. You are the ones who are making America great again. And you're building the heavyduty machinery that keeps our economy rolling, our factories moving, and our industries roaring all across the nation.

Glittering Generalities Vague, emotionally positive praise with no specific content — for example: The job you're doing here is incredible and making America great again.

Appeal to Prejudice Positions the audience as a special in-group responsible for national greatness, implying others are not — for example: 'You are the ones who are making America great again'

Loaded Language Uses emotionally charged, energetic language to evoke pride and power rather than convey neutral facts — for example: 'roaring all across the nation'

For decades, the workers of this Commonwealth watch globalist politicians let other countries rip you off and close your factories, rob your jobs, take them away to foreign lands. And then I came along. We stopped it very quickly.

Name Calling The term 'globalist politicians' is a derogatory label used to discredit political opponents rather than address their policies — for example: 'globalist politicians'

Loaded Language Words like 'rip you off', 'rob your jobs', and 'take them away' are emotionally charged to provoke anger and resentment rather than convey neutral facts — for example: 'rip you off and close your factories, rob your jobs'

Scapegoating Complex economic phenomena like factory closures and job losses are blamed entirely on 'globalist politicians' and foreign countries, ignoring other contributing factors — for example: 'let other countries rip you off and close your factories'

Appeal to Prejudice The phrase 'workers of this Commonwealth' invokes an in-group identity to contrast 'us' (the workers) against the out-group of 'globalist politicians' and foreign nations — for example: 'workers of this Commonwealth'

Glittering Generalities The phrase 'And then I came along' positions the speaker as a heroic savior figure without providing any substantive detail, functioning as a rhetorical flourish of self-aggrandizement — for example: 'And then I came along'

Exaggeration/Hyperbole The claim that decades-long complex economic trends were stopped 'very quickly' is an extreme overstatement unsupported by evidence — for example: 'We stopped it very quickly'

So together with the help of patriots throughout Pennsylvania and all across the land, we will make America powerful again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.

Appeal to Prejudice The word 'patriots' invokes in-group identity, implying that those who support this cause are true patriots while others are not — for example: patriots throughout Pennsylvania

Glittering Generalities Vague emotionally positive language about making America 'powerful' carries no specific policy meaning and functions as rhetorical flourish — for example: we will make America powerful again, We will make America safe again and make America great again.

Appeal to Fear Implying America is currently unsafe creates anxiety to motivate support without specifying any concrete threat — for example: make America safe again

Repetition The phrase 'make America [X] again' is repeated three times across the three sentences to reinforce the message through familiarity — for example: make America powerful again, make America safe again, make America great again
