Abstract. The article analyzes the fragment of speech by the American politician D. Trump pronounced in the period of 2015 presidential election campaign in the USA. Special attention is paid to speech argumentative arrangement and the rhetorical devices used by the orator (informal vocabulary, rhetorical repetition).
