 The proposition that Trump is a demagogue is the act type of referring to Trump, expressing the property of being a demagogue and predicating it of Trump, as we have seen. What Hanks calls the interrogative proposition expressible by the question ‘Is Trump a demagogue?’ is the act type of referring to Trump, expressing the property of being a demagogue and combining Trump and the property in an interrogative way (rather than predicating the property of Trump). Hanks gives a similar account of the imperative proposition expressed by the command ‘Trump, be a demagogue!’ As a result, Hanks rejects the claim that there is some common underlying content running through the (assertive) proposition, imperative proposition and interrogative proposition regarding Trump being a demagogue. There are just three different propositions here with their different “forces” (assertive, interrogative, imperative) built in.
