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
