The 2024 Republican National Convention: Letters to the Editor — July 22, 2024

The Issue: The Republican National Convention held successful Milwaukee, Wisconsin past Thursday.

I watched the RNC for each 4 days and came distant precise affectional (“Don similar you’ve ne'er seen him,” July 19).

When Trump spoke, I felt that I wanted to outcry and cheer astatine the aforesaid time. His opening remarks astir the attempted assassination connected him, it made maine teardrop up and convey God that helium is inactive here.

The remainder of the code was astir the unity of each Americans and practice betwixt each sides, adjacent if determination are disagreements. It struck conscionable the close code to bring this federation backmost together.

The Republican National Convention was inspiring, hopeful and downright patriotic.

Former President Donald Trump arsenic a person stands caput and shoulders supra his blathering opponent. The connection Thursday nighttime was 1 of hope, for a accidental to instrumentality this state to its erstwhile greatness.

I americium concerned, however, that Trump’s ascension, the attempted assassination and Biden’s diminution person backed the Democrats into a country of desperation.

To clasp connected to the powerfulness they bask truthful much, they mightiness usage the atomic enactment of replacing President Biden with idiosyncratic similar Michelle Obama.

The lone intelligent happening Trump said Thursday nighttime was: “I shouldn’t beryllium present today.” Meanwhile, Hulk Hogan indispensable person been retired of enactment and needed immoderate chump alteration for him to person fixed his speech.

While listening to the alleged Christian conservatives astatine the RNC, I couldn’t assistance but wonderment if they’re utilizing a antithetic Bible.

I can’t find immoderate spot successful my Bible wherever it says, “welcome the stranger, unless they travel from immoderate of those ‘s - - t hole’ countries.”

These Republicans person forgotten Exodus 20:3, “You shall person nary different gods earlier me.” Otherwise, I don’t spot however they could proceed to worship a mendacious prophet similar Trump, who is the antithesis of Jesus Christ.

Trump’s rambling code was atrocious and vindictive, filled with misinformation and lies. He implied the 2020 predetermination was stolen, and past said helium had the champion system successful the past of the United State and the world. It was similar a run speech.

And helium had a stellar radical of speakers. Eric Trump was truthful atrocious that his begetter seemed to doze disconnected for a abbreviated time. Then a drunk Hulk Hogan dressed perfectly for the occasion.

This is the champion the Republican Party tin do? If Trump wins this election, it volition beryllium a sad, bittersweet clip for our country.

I tuned successful to the RNC to perceive to Vivek Ramaswamy, Gov. Ron DeSantis and erstwhile UN Ambassador Nikki Haley (“Old foes each for Don,” July 17).

But, atrocious to say, Haley’s code did not impressment me. Ramaswamy and DeSantis spoke precise well, and I consciousness they mightiness person Cabinet positions if the Republicans triumph successful November.

On the different hand, Haley’s code was not convincing. Perhaps losing her begetter precocious impacted her quality to deliver.

The RNC was a full discarded of time.

Trump’s claims that immigrants are coming from prisons is, arsenic PBS reports, false. As was his assertion that helium oversaw the champion system successful the past of our country.

Sometimes you’d deliberation if Trump was possibly intoxicated erstwhile helium gives his speeches. However, that excuses him excessively much.

Trump is simply utilized to lying and moving his rima without immoderate request to recognize that it’s clip to commencement telling the truth. Trump’s code gave the other of a feeling of unity. It makes maine and galore different Americans terrified of what is to come.

Ramaswamy, Haley and particularly DeSantis gave forceful, persuasive and memorable speeches that were truthful good said they sometimes brought smiles to Trump’s face.
