An appeal for the unity of the country, but also accusations against the Biden administration (nominated only once) and the Democrats. The commitment to "quickly" restore peace to the world, from Ukraine to Gaza, with the threat to Hamas that "it will pay a heavy price if it does not free the prisoners". And again: the promise that on the first day of his inauguration he will expand oil drilling and close the border with Mexico, where he will complete the wall. This will be followed by "the largest deportation in the history of the country" and another tax cut.
These are the main points of Donald Trump's acceptance speech «with faith, devotion and pride» of the (third) nomination for the White House on the final night of the Republican convention in the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, under a rain of 100 thousand red balloons , white and blue, the colors of the American flag, to the notes of the aria "Nessun dorma" from Puccini's Turandot (with the ending "I will win, I will win).
A 90-minute speech, one of the longest in the history of American conventions, against the backdrop of images of a White House that he already feels is his again. On the eve of the attack, the tycoon explained that he had changed it after the attack, toning down the attacks on Biden and focusing on the unity of the party and the country. But halfway through, while always maintaining a calm, almost presidential tone, with repeated references to faith, he was unable to give up some heavy attacks and his now habitual falsehoods.
"It will be an incredible victory", he began in front of a delirious crowd, with the whole family gathered behind him, including the much applauded Melania (who however refused to speak) and Ivanka in one of their rare electoral appearances. “I am running to be president of all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America,” he continued.
Then he recounted in detail the attack he suffered, convinced that he survived because "I had God on my side", as many of the speakers suggested during these four days of the event. "Fight, fight, fight", the audience chanted, repeating the words that the tycoon shouted after the shots, remembering them on stage while the images of blood flowed. he added, with the crowd responding, “I am.” He then asked for a minute of silence for Corey Comperatore, the firefighter killed in the attack, kissing his helmet and showing off his firefighter jacket.
