Letters from the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee
The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Last Thursday
Reflections on the Republican National Convention last Thursday in Milwaukee are emotional. Watching all four days of the convention left me feeling a mix of emotions. As Donald Trump spoke, his words evoked a desire to cry and cheer simultaneously. His opening remarks about the assassination attempt on him brought tears to my eyes, grateful that he survived.
His speech focused on unity among all Americans and emphasized the need for cooperation despite differences. These messages struck the right chord to unite the nation again.

The Republican National Convention was inspiring, hopeful, and patriotic. Former President Donald Trump’s leadership stands out above his opponent’s rhetoric. The message conveyed on Thursday night held hope for a return to the country’s former greatness.
However, there are concerns about Trump’s rise, the assassination attempt, and Biden’s decline pushing the Democrats into desperation. To retain their power, they may consider extreme measures like replacing President Biden with someone like Michelle Obama.

Some insights on Trump’s speech from Thursday night: “I shouldn’t be here today.” The event featured unusual speakers like Hulk Hogan, which left much to be desired.

Listening to the so-called Christian conservatives at the RNC raised questions about their interpretation of the Bible. Their exclusionary attitudes contradict biblical teachings about welcoming strangers and unity.
These Republicans seem to overlook biblical principles in their worship of Trump, who presents an opposite image to that of Jesus Christ.

Trump’s speech was criticized for misinformation, lies, and divisive rhetoric. The event had a mix of speakers, including Eric Trump and Hulk Hogan, which left a mark on the audience.

The RNC featured speeches from Vivek Ramaswamy, Gov. Ron DeSantis, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. While Ramaswamy and DeSantis delivered impactful speeches, Haley’s presentation fell short.

Criticism of the RNC reflected disappointment in Trump’s claims, lack of truthfulness, and fear of what may come in the future. The speeches at the convention did not inspire a sense of unity or reassurance.

Ramaswamy, Haley, and DeSantis stood out with their powerful and meaningful speeches during the RNC. Their words were well-received and even brought smiles to Trump’s face at times.
