“With faith and devotion, I proudly accept your anointing” he said addressing the delegates in Wisconsin (northern USA).
He predicted an “unbelievable victory” in the November 5 election, promising “the four most beautiful years in the history” of the US if he returns to the White House.
He also tried to appear unifying, a few twenty-four hours following his assassination attempt in Pennsylvania: “I am running to be the president of all America, not half of it,” he assured.
In addition, he asked during his speech at his party convention in Milwaukee (Northern USA) to observe a minute of silence in honor of a firefighter who lost his life when a gunman tried to kill him in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
“Despite this heinous attack, we are united tonight (and) more determined than ever,” said Mr. Trump, who earlier formally accepted the anointing of his party and will seek the presidency in the Nov. 5 election.
He detailed his assassination attempt. As soon as he heard the gunfire, “I immediately understood that it was something very serious, that we were under attack,” he recounted, in his first public speech following the attempt, still wearing a bandage over his right ear.
“There was blood everywhere. And yet, in a way, I felt safe, because I had God with me.” he added.
The Republican candidate promised in a speech at his party’s convention in Milwaukee to end illegal immigration from “day one” of his possible new term by “closing the border” while pledging to finish building the anti-immigration wall on the border with Mexico.
“I will end the illegal immigration crisis by closing our borders and finishing the wall,” the former president assured, revisiting his grandiose plans for the problem, which stumbled over many roadblocks, and in courtrooms, during his first term.
Besides, he promised to “save” the country from the “incompetent and failed” administration of his Democratic successor Joe Biden, repeating his theory that America is a “nation in decline.”
He has pledged to favor oil exploration and exploitation, in other words to reverse climate change measures taken by Mr. Biden’s administration. He promised to redirect all funds allocated to what he called the “green scam”.
He also called not to “demonize” the opposition and “political dissent”, referring to the criminal charges once morest him.
Some 24 hours following the assassination attempt, the former president demanded that Democrats “immediately” stop labeling him an “enemy of democracy,” a “threat” to the state — while simultaneously accusing the rival party of “destroying our country.” .
