TOW #3 - Is This The President We Want For Our Daughters?

In a video posted on Hillary Clinton’s Facebook page called “Is This The President We Want For Our Daughters?”, Clinton exploits Donald Trump with his offensive comments made in public.  Clinton’s video focuses on sexist and misogynistic remarks made towards women in order to show families why he should not be voted for president.  Clinton, a well know politician and former First Lady of the United States, is a credible source due to this video being “Approved By Hillary Clinton” at the end of the video and also by it being posted to her verified Facebook page.  Clinton aims her video towards families and parents who may support Trump already or are unsure of who to vote for.  This can be shown with the use of the word “our” in the title of the video.  This implies that the viewers of the video have daughters and want the best for them.  This video was posted due to the impending 2016 Presidential Election.  Clinton wants to have viewers vote for her instead of Trump.  Clinton is able to effectively persuade viewers that opponent Donald Trump is not a good choice for president by appealing to emotion and reason, and establishing a concerning tone.  Viewers’ emotions while watching the video play a large part in their decision with who to agree with.  Including rude comments made by Trump makes them feel worried for their daughter(s) because his words are hurtful.  This also impacts the viewers’ reasoning, because it would only make sense to vote for a president that is respectful and polite towards others.  When asked if he treats women with respect a response like “I can’t say that either” (0:25) does not put a good feeling in a parent’s mind.  In addition, Clinton’s video also establishes a concerning tone with the use of visuals of young girls and Trump’s comments playing over them.  Clinton’s video is able to convince viewers that Donald Trump is in fact not a trustworthy or good candidate for president.  The video is able to point fingers at Trump supporters and indirectly ask them why they would vote for him and his questionable actions and morals.
