WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump unleashed a harsh series of attacks against Joe Biden Thursday night, casting his Democratic opponent as "the destroyer of American greatness" and framing the November election as a bitterly divisive clash between two irreconcilable slices of America.
"This election will decide whether we will defend the American way of life, or whether we allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it," Trump said in a 71-minute address accepting the GOP nomination.
Trump's sweeping address capped a Republican National Convention that veered between a fusillade of incendiary attacks meant to rouse the president's base and targeted stagecraft designed to improve his standing with voters of color and suburban women.
