The war against caring

onion article
                                                                                   In this article

it uses parody and situational irony to talk about president trump. The article talks about how trump is against empathy and wants everyone stand up and take a “vow” to be against understanding others. It also talks about how there is a very big danger that the country could be riddled with passion and that we need to try hard to look at others with indifference and disdain.

This article in its entirety is an example of parody irony because the article is a parody of an actual new article that someone will make. This article also uses hyperbole to portray their message. In this article they are using hyperbole by over exaggerating what donald trump is doing. Because of the ban on many Islamic countries banning immigrants who need help they are saying that he has no empathy. They are over exaggerating because they are saying that he has a war on empathy as a whole and doesn't want anyone to understand other people's situations. And that if he continues on his path many and gets what he wants, generations upon generations will not understand other people's feelings. 

This article is in fact trying to show people that they should care about other people and their situations and that you should have empathy and care about other people even if they’re not in your country or have nothing to do with you.

Colbert's Brilliant Response to Mrs. Trump's Alleged Plagiarism

This past July, Melania Trump was largely denunciated for plagiarizing parts of her speech at last year’s Republican National Convention straight from one of Michelle Obama’s from 2008. Never one to miss an opportunity to poke fun at a politically charged situation, Stephen Colbert and his team of writers wasted no time putting together a skit to perform on his show the night after this controversy took place.

Played by a strikingly similar looking actress, Stephen gave 'Melania' a chance to publicly defend herself against the allegations of plagiarism she had received. Tony Award-winning actress Laura Benanti perfectly captured Melania’s squinted eyes and perpetual pouty expression, even throwing in a few expertly executed model turns. Wearing her hair and outfit in a way that was made to mimic what Trump wore on stage in Cleveland that summer, Benanti began,

“My fellow Americans, this is truly the best of times, it is the worst of times. I did not plagiarize my speech last night, I would never do such a thing. I would not, could not with a goat. I would not, could not on a boat. That is because I learned honesty during my humble upbringing, in West Philadelphia born and raised. Thank you. On the playground is where I spent most of my days. So to those who say I stole my speech, I say give me a break. Give me a break. Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.”

Stealing from everyone from Charles Dickens to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” to a Kit Kat commercial, in making her point, her denial of any plagiarism consists only of long strings of plagiarized phrases.
