Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the inaugural speech by former President Donald Trump.

Answer and Explanation:

Former President Trump's speech had an effective conclusion when addressing his voters directly, stating that none of them would be overlooked, regardless of social standing, city size and even location. At this point, Trump makes a strong use of the rhetorical feature known as pathos, as it allows the public to feel included in his government and an important part of the policies he will promote. The pathos can be seen throughout the conclusion of the speech and was used in an exemplary manner, showing an effective conclusion in persuading listeners.

We can say that the speech was concise, as well as its conclusion, but not memorable, since several political speeches used this approach, presenting a necessary, but not very innovative, argument.
