Use of emotive language

Explanation:

Emotive language deals with the choice of words. Specific syntax is used to elicit the reader's emotion. Word choice has a huge impact on the reader both written and spoken. The participant may use different words to trigger different reactions. Terms that emotionally respond are examples of emotional language.

It's clear the political leader uses emotive language to invoke the emotions for his personal gain while economist doesn't use it but is just stating the plain facts.
