Just days after a smelly, pimply-faced incel tried to put a bullet in his head, President Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president.
He was surrounded by family and faithful Republicans, eager to help him make America great again.
Tucker Carlson delivered a rousing, joyful unscripted speech about Trump's actions following the assassination attempt in Bradford, Pennsylvania, exemplified the essence of leadership.
“A leader is the bravest man,” Mr. Carlson said to applause.
“That is true in all human organizations. This is a law of nature,” he added, crediting the president’s bravery with preventing a chaotic situation from spiraling further out of control and recognizing that “a leader’s duty is to his people.”
Hulk Hogan's speech made me want to take a hot-tub time machine back to April 19, 1775, and unload muskets at lobsterbacks at Lexington and Concord.
Eric Trump's speech dropped truth bombs all over the joint. But President Trump transcended everything with a speech he reportedly wrote himself, days after a narcissistic animal tried to upend American history.
I am told Trump had an edgy speech full of facts that Biden wouldn't like but instead went with something more "unifying."
I had no idea fellow Detroit hometown homeslice Kid Rock was going to be Trump's hype-man.
Rock killed with a pro-Trump rap song that set the house on fire.
Kid Rock isn't the first musician/rapper to back Trump. Amber Rose gave a speech at the convention earlier in the week. Then there are all these rappers in this article who have come out loud and proud for Trump:
Dana White had the pleasure and privilege of introducing President Trump, who took the microphone as Lee Greenwood sang "God Bless the U.S.A." and the conventioneers chanted "U.S.A., U.S.A.!"
We Rise Together, or We Fall Apart
Trump took to the stage with a bandage covering the wound left by the would-be assassin's bullet. He kicked off his mesmerizing speech by thanking the GOP for the nomination and promising to stand for all Americans, stating: "We rise together or we fall apart."
Trump's speech was unlike any of his others. It lacked the bombast and sarcasm of earlier speeches, which I find entertaining. Instead, it focused on unity.
Trump discussed the attempt on his life in Butler, Pa., on July 13, which Catherine wrote about here in more detail.
I'm not supposed to be here tonight. Not supposed to be here. Thank you, but I'm not, and I'll tell you, I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God watching.
Donald Trump tells the story about how he almost lost his life on Saturday, says he will never tell the story again because it's too painful.

You are witnessing history.
Less than a week ago, this man was a quarter inch from death.
Today, he is giving the most… pic.twitter.com/1qbO1dZH9d
He pensively described the attack that could have ended his life and altered American history forever.
Trump stated, "I'm not supposed to be here tonight," and the crowd responded with, "Yes, you are. Yes, you are!" I can't lie; I got a little weepy at that point. I can remain calm at funerals and Hallmark commercials, but for some reason patriotism makes me misty.
Trump commended his Bulter audience for not stampeding out in panic and praised their bravery under fire.
He paid homage to the patriotic firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed at the rally while shielding his family from the miscreant's bullets, calling for a moment of silence for the slain husband and father of two daughters.
In the case of Corey and the other two, by the way, they were very, very seriously injured, but now they're doing very well. They're going to be okay. They're warriors. So now I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor of our friend, Corey.
Trump spent much of his time thanking his followers, the Secret Service, and his family, who have been dragged through a mud pile throughout Trump's numerous Stalin-like trials.
Trump promised to secure the borders and return patriotism to our schools after we "rescue the nation."
Trump declared he would close the border and make America prosperous again. He took minor jabs at the Biden administration while only naming him once.
If Democrats want to unify our country, they should drop these parties and witch hunts, which I have been going through for approximately eight years, and they should do that without delay and allow an election to proceed on this journey.
He gave hope to a nation that just saw him take a bullet and then stand up and pump his fist while yelling, "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!"
Trump gave what some would call a kinder, gentler speech while invigorating We the People to take our nation back on Election Day. He seemed to embrace humility. I imagine being millimeters away from an assassin's bullet has that kind of an effect on a person.
Trump declared that illegal immigrants were stealing jobs from black and Hispanic communities. Someone yelled, "Blacks for Trump!" Trump responded with, "I like you too!"
Trump briefly mentioned the 2020 election and stated it would not happen again, an obvious reference to what some believe was a rigged election.
As Trump was winding down, he managed to score a few laughs, especially when joking about MS-13 and the chart that he "never really got to see," referring to the moment the domestic terrorist tried to kill him as he looked at the now famous statistical chart displayed at the rally. He also killed with what is likely an ad-lib line about Hannibal Lecter.
In his closing moments, Trump promised to "drill baby, drill, and close the border."
He vowed not to let killers into our country, referring to the growing list of rapists and murderers crossing the southern border, which Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas claims is secure.
My favorite part was when Trump reminded the world how he scared a terrorist, allegedly by showing him a picture of his house and threatening to kill him if he hurt even one American.
Afghanistan, I spoke to the head of the Taliban.
You've heard this story. Abdul, still there.
Still the press got on me. "Why would you speak to him?"
I said, "because that's who the killing is. I don't have to speak to somebody that has nothing to do with it."
And I told them, "Don't ever do that. Don't ever do that again. Don't ever do that again," because during the Obama administration, many great people and soldiers, a lot of soldiers, are being killed from long distance. I said, "if you keep doing that, you're gonna be hit harder than anybody's ever been hit by a country before."
And he said, "I understand, your excellency."..
I wonder if he calls the other guy "your excellency"?
Most inspiringly, Trump declared he would never let us down.
As expected, he ended his inspiring speech with, "We will make America great again" before thanking Wisconsin and various others.
I mentioned that President Trump can't save America alone.
All real Americans must unite to fight the pinko toilet-dwellers until communism is nothing more than a stain on our boots.
As Lawrence Wilson concluded at The Epoch Times, The Grand Old Party was made new at this year’s national convention. It is no longer the party that Ronald Reagan energized with his Morning in America optimism, which reestablished America on the world stage after the war in Vietnam.
After eight years of a growing populist impulse, the Republican party is now definitively the party of Donald Trump, united around his vision of America First.
For four nights, a parade of current and former elected officials, ranchers, cops, and Gold Star moms have ascended the platform to laud the former president as the one person capable of uniting the country, defending the interests of ordinary Americans, and restoring America to greatness at home and abroad.
Notable former critics of former President Trump one by one pledged their support, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State in the Trump administration.
Once-prominent GOP leaders who symbolized the pre-Trump party were conspicuously absent, including former Vice President Mike Pence, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsinite.
