The news article “Trump’s new interviews and appearances show that a storm is brewing” by Brian Stelter tackles the latest statements Trump has made publicly when interviewed for example with Dan Ball.

As the author of this article is commenting on entire interviews that Trump has given, he uses a lot of paraphrasing to reflect what has been said and to summarize it for the reader. The purpose of this article is to highlight the “threat” of the “instability”. Stelter points out how Trump “lies about the last election” stating that Biden did not get as many votes as listed. The author uses an informal tone for example when using “I” when describing the process of how he got the information or also addressing the reader directly by saying “You grab the remote halfway through, rewind to the beginning, and pay attention to every word. That’s what I did when Pamela Brown interviewed Rick Hasen and Ian Bassin on Saturday”. He also has a very casual tone, given how he starts off sentences with “well,..”. The article is also meant to entertain the reader as it is not fully fact based and displays the author’s opinion as well. The sentence structure also varies between long complex sentences with subordinate clauses and short simple sentences. This gives some sort of dynamic when reading the article and prevents it from getting monotone and too hard to follow. However, when addressing his concern, he uses the words such as “we”, to create a unity with the audience and to get the reader more involved in the story. He implies that his worries should worry the reader too and suggests that as Americans this affects everyone.
