It is a well-worn tradition that US presidential candidates call for unity. It is less often that those same candidates, only years earlier, encouraged a riot at the Capitol which prevented the peaceful transfer of power. But that is the mind of Donald Trump.
In his speech accepting the Republican nomination in Milwaukee, Trump made a series of false claims. That inflation is at record highs (it is at three per cent), that the world was at peace during his presidency (it was not) and that the current administration is doing nothing to halt illegal immigration across the US southern border (Trump opposed legislation that would have enacted tougher immigration policies).
