Research into manifestations of altruism and emotions in
political discourse suggests that these facilitate in legitimizing
the decisions and actions of political leaders. An important
aspect of the political rhetoric is the strategies used by political
actors to justify their acts and decisions. Drawing upon Critical
Discourse Analysis and using textual analysis, this study
focuses on altruistic legitimization strategies employed by
Pakistani, Indian and US politicians. The scope of the present
study is limited to explaining the linguistic construction and
shaping of altruistic legitimization strategies. This is done
through analysis of the discursive structures from the speeches
of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump. Results show
striking similarities among their speeches when it comes to
altruistic legitimization strategies and strategies based on fear
are concerned. However, Trump stands apart from other two
leaders in that his strategies are less emotive
