MILWAUKEE — ANALYSIS: The third Republican coronation of Donald Trump is complete, this time with talk of divine intervention as he was praised as “fearless” and a “hero” by two professional fighters and a “badass” by a rock star.
The uncharacteristically mellow 45th president was serenaded Thursday night at the Republican National Convention here with several standing ovations as delegates hailed his potentially script-flipping message of unity, just days after a would-be assassin nearly took his life at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Trump accepted the GOP presidential nomination for the third consecutive election cycle, vowing to deliver “confidence, strength and hope.”
“We rise together or we fall apart. I am running to be president for all of America, not half,” he said, conjuring thunderous applause when he added: “So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination” as the crowd erupted in a “Trump! Trump! Trump!” chant.
