On this article by Statesman, they provided a list of the six different types of rhetorical devices President Trump has used throughout his presidency. They claim that Trump's most used rhetorical device is the argument ad baculum, which is the most headline grabbing. Mercieca has a book on Trump's rhetorical use.

They also said, "She believes Trump is a rhetorical genius and a demagogue, noting the latter term has not always been considered pejorative".
