Trump delivers a successful reformation with a resonant message and tone at RNC
Well there’s something you thought you’d never see at a Republican National Convention.
Kid Rock rapping and telling the people in suits and ties to get up on their feet.
Wrestler Hulk Hogan ripping off his shirt.
The head of Ultimate Fighting delivering the introduction of the nominee, who came out to giant flashing lights and a backdrop that looked like the White House.
We’re talking about Donald Trump, who delivered a speech packed with appeals to unity and healing. Knock us over with a feather.
“I am running to be president for ALL of America, not half of America,” Trump said, and thank goodness for it.
Even those who back Trump have offered advice that too often seemed to fall on deaf ears: Don’t tweet so much. Don’t be so angry. Reach across the aisle.
In his speech, he did it all.
For his third nomination for president, a rarity in American history, Trump was calm, charming, and at one point said he was asking with “great humility.” Reader, we’re not kidding. He said humility!
It was the perfect choice of tone and message. Trump’s welcoming delivery, his appeals to lift the nation higher, only highlighted the increasingly deranged rhetoric of the left.
He also gave a touching tribute to Corey Comparator, the firefighter who died by an assassin’s bullet meat for Trump. It was an honor that followed the speeches of previous days by the victims of crime and Gold Star families who have been completely ignored by President Biden.
Of course, Trump is still Trump. He went off script many times, particularly towards the end, and the speech went on for a long time. But the overall idea was correct.
There were voters who took a chance on Trump in 2016, but he lost in 2020 because he alienated too many of them.
This address proves he realizes that, and has made strides to win them back.
