This study is conducted to reveal the types of mood, speech function realizations, and the persuasion strategies applied to Donald Trump’s clauses in his three remarks regarding the issue of COVID-19. Discourse analysis is applied to analyze the data. The applied mood types and speech function realizations are then correlated with Cialdini's principles of persuasion to see the persuasion principles applied in the three remarks. The results show that the President's three remarks are dominated by declarative mood with three most frequently used speech functions: statements of fact, statements of opinion, and statements of the assertion. In terms of Cialdini's persuasion principles, the speaker uses all of the six principles in his three remarks, except the principle of preference employed only in the third remark. The other five principles, namely authority, consistency, social-evidence, reciprocity, and rareness/scarcity, are contained in the three remarks with their persuasive purposes. In Cialdini's persuasion principles, the clauses used by President Trump reveals the strategies of taking advantage of his powerful authority in his remarks, showing his consistency while delivering the remarks, expressing his best efforts for his inhabitants, and showing successful evidence in overcoming the pandemic compared with other countries’ endeavors.

Dangke is a traditional food from South Sulawesi-Indonesia especially Enrekang Regency, made from buffalo or cow milk coagulated with papaya fruit sap papain enzyme. The development of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum strain IIA-1A5 as a probiotic in various food products has been shown to increase the content of bioactive compounds, such as antioxidants, antihypertensive agents, and antibacterials. This study aims to evaluate the physical, microbiological, functional quality of dangke in the form of antioxidant and antihypertensive properties with the addition of Lactiplantibacillua plantarum subsp. plantarum strain IIA-1A5 at the level of 0% and 10% during storage for 0 days, 5 days and 10 days. The physical test results found significant differences in dangke with the addition of Lactiplantibacillusplantarum subsp. plantarum strain IIA-1A5 as much as 10% in the parameters of pH, TAT and texture. The addition of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum strain IIA-1A5 10% in dangke was able to inhibit and reduce the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and S aureus and was able to increase the value of antioxidant and antihypertensive activity by 83.45% and 45.60%. Based on the electrophoresis results, casein was found at a molecular weight of 22-29 kDa, and smaller peptides of hydrolyzed casein protein presented at a low molecular weight of 16-18 kDa.
