Demagogue for President - polarizes for their own gain.
The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump
Jennifer Mercieca

How do Demagogues spread their lies and polarize the people
1) Slogans
2) Rallies
3) Using Force

6) Objectifying those who don't agree
7) Control public fear and drive their direction

How he does what he does makes it hard to hold him accountable.
