Trump at RNC: 'I'm the One Saving Democracy'

Former President Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president for the third time Thursday after an extraordinary five days in US politics. #politics #trump #biden #rnc #milwaukee #president #election

Trump’s 93-minute acceptance speech — the longest in the television era — began with an extraordinary turnabout from his dark and combative 2016 speech. “The discord and division in our society must be healed,” he said, before riffing insults at the usual targets of his rally speeches: migrants, Democrats and the media.

Just five days after a would-be assassin’s bullet struck his now-bandaged right ear, Trump told thousands of rapt delegates and guests of his narrow escape from death Saturday, and paid tribute to the retired fire chief who was killed in the attack.

Trump promised to end electric-vehicle mandates, raise tariffs to support the auto industry and provide “massive tax cuts” for workers — including an exemption for taxes on tips.

He tried to overthrow democracy. And corrupt the justice system

[RockAndStoner]

Old Trump is too old to run for president

[harrybear]

The bandage on trump ear is a joke not done right

[seekingtruth]

Wonder if trump could even spell democracy 🤔

[auliashandy]

Great the realise democracy to everyone

[mommar]

"I'm the one" yep, you're the one, who needs to leave this country alone.

[chronos]

Maybe Trump should start talking about what he wants to change when it comes to USA, and not talk about his "enemy" it's not what the election is about

[theodoremartinez]

He is a good president, after the attempt on his life, he is going to be one hell of a great president. I saw a TITAN rise from the ashes, on sat/13th.

He's really milking the whole ear-patch drama for every drop it's worth. I cut my finger pretty deeply on the same day Trump's ear was grazed by a bullet and my finger is back to normal as if it never happened. It makes me wonder if Trump has diabetes or some other illness that he heals very slowly.

[jessebalderas]

I'm sure they will when your side does, which means it'll never happen

[qnevdur]

Trump muss US-Präsident werden. Unbedingt!

[kerwin]

The dictator wants to save democracy. What a joke

[theodoremartinez]

Courage cant be taught. Just like cowardness cant.

[theodoremartinez]
