The current research is concerned with a pragmatic study of attack and defense acts that are used by President Donald Trump in the American Presidential Debate in 2020. Attack is an attempt to harm or defeat someone, and it is a bold message that the speaker or attacker does not like or disagree with the other antagonist. On the contrary, defense means a person responds to an attack of his or her opponent. After an attack, the politician either negates or fact-checks claims made by his opponents or tries to set the record straight. By the end of the study, it is expected to answer the following questions: What are the most frequent strategies of attack and defense that utilized by President Trump to formulate his speech? What are the reasons behind Trump’s attacks and the usage of impoliteness strategies? This research aims to show the negative impact of Trump's attack and the positive impact of defense on the audience who watch him and whether the President is succeeded in his defense against the attacker or not . n light of the above mentioned aims, the research hypothesizes that: first,there are some reasons that motivate presidents to use attack and defense in the political debates. Second, President Trump uses attack acts more than the others during the debate. Third, the strategies of impoliteness are used clearly by President Donald Trump than the other president who discusses him. In order to achieve the aims and verify the validity of the hypotheses of the research, the researcher has adopted a model based on Culpeper’s (1996 –2005) "impoliteness strategies". Before starting to analyze the data, it is shown the difference between attack and defense acts, the debates, and the background of Trump under the title theoretical framework.
