This article was written by Tina Nguyen but it is about Donald Trump and has moments where Trump expresses his feelings on the Russia topic. The article was written on December 19, 2017, but the event took place in November and early December and is still occurring. The intended audience are those who want to know more information about the Russian case. The main purpose of this is to inform people what Trump is actually aware of. The subject is the bad news that Trump will be receiving. The tone of this article is apathetic since Trump is not fully aware of the Russia problem.
The author's diction is very complex adding a new level of sophistication to the article. The author shows that she is personally afraid of the outcome because she describes that Trump is too laid back and has no knowledge of what is actually happening. The author also appeals to ethos a bunch in her article quoting things from The Wall Street Journal and fellow White House employees. She quotes sayings from them to make the article be more credible and a more reliable source for those who want to gather information. She also quotes Donald Trump himself to show what Trump thinks about it all and how laid back he is, "In November, Trump echoed with his own sentiments, reportedly telling his golfing buddies, 'This investigation’s going to be over with pretty soon.'" In reality, Trump is under one impression saying that everything will be okay and there is nothing to worry about and that it will all blow over, but the White House lawyers are saying something completely different. Because Trump is unaware of what is actually happening with the Russian case, it makes the author write the article in a very apathetic tone. Finally, the author's purpose is to explain to people why Trump is being so laid back and so we can get further insight on the scenario.
