ABSTRACT The absence of Jews from President Donald Trump’s 2017 Holocaust Remembrance Day speech was not the first occasion Trump’s relationship to anti-Semitism was brought up by the popular press, but this paper argues it is one example of many in the emergence of a new mode of presidential speech in the United States that I term “contumelious oratory.” This paper analyzes several examples of the Trump’s administration’s rhetoric including tweets, press conferences, and public speeches. I read the Trump administration’s briefness, strategic absences, metaphors, and hyperbolic statements as salient features of the new, contumelious oratorical mode. It is important to identify how this communication departs from traditional presidential speech of previous United States presidents, classify the techniques used, and grasp clearly the potential damage this type of speech can do. The Trump teams’ contumelious oratory does not placate, it provokes.

口头演讲:反思特朗普政府的修辞形式

摘要唐纳德·特朗普总统2017年大屠杀纪念日演讲中没有犹太人,这并不是特朗普第一次与大众媒体提起反犹太主义的关系,但本文认为这是许多新模式出现的一个例子在美国的总统演说中,我称之为“节俭演说”。本文分析了特朗普政府言辞的一些例子,包括推文,新闻发布会和公开演讲。我读过特朗普政府的简短,战略缺席,隐喻和双曲线言论,这是新的,混乱的演讲模式的显着特征。重要的是要确定这种交流方式与美国前任总统的传统总统讲话背道而驰,对所使用的技术进行分类,并清楚地了解此类演讲可能造成的损害。激怒了特朗普团队的精打细算的演说。
