“This is the difference between the imaginary world of the left, of Barack Obama, you know, saving us from sunlight in Paris, and the real world of people concerned about what we're going to do.”
Establishes a 'real world vs imaginary world' narrative template that predetermines how all subsequent facts and claims should be interpreted — left-wing versions are fantasies, right-wing versions are reality.
“women who are not very attractive but who have accomplished something on the calendar”
Characterizes the calendar models as 'not very attractive' using a charged, dismissive descriptor where a neutral alternative ('nude models') exists, framing the controversy in maximally provocative terms.
“Women are leaving the West to join ISIS and finding themselves flogged for putting on lipstick and finding themselves killed, murdered for just being women, for just wanting to be beautiful and adorn themselves.”
Amplifies threat and danger by presenting the most extreme and horrifying experiences of women in ISIS to build anxiety and contrast with the speaker's framing of Western policy.
