Donald Trump and Melania Trump shared a kiss on stage as balloons dropped to mark the end of the Republican convention in Milwaukee. The event was filled with high-energy performances and speeches, including an emotional recounting of an assassination attempt on Trump’s life.
The convention kicked off with Kid Rock performing his song American Bad Ass, followed by endorsements from Dana White and Hulk Hogan. Trump took the stage to a giant display of his name and proceeded to deliver a speech that veered off-script at times, lasting over 90 minutes.
One of the highlights of the night was Trump’s retelling of the recent assassination attempt on his life, where he credited divine intervention for saving him. Despite emphasizing a message of national unity, Trump couldn’t resist taking jabs at Democratic party leaders.
The speech also included false statements and misleading claims, such as exaggerated inflation rates and unfounded allegations of election fraud. Trump made only one direct mention of Joe Biden, calling him one of the worst presidents in history.
The convention ended with the Trump family joining the candidate on stage, showcasing their growing influence within the Republican party. Melania Trump made a rare public appearance, but did not speak, while other family members, including Eric and Don Jr, played prominent roles in the event.
Overall, Trump’s speech attempted to convey a message of unity while also launching sharp attacks on Democrats and their policies. Immigration was a key focus, with Trump promising a large-scale deportation operation and blaming immigrants for crime.
The event concluded with a display of unity as the Trump family gathered on stage, symbolizing their growing influence within the Republican party. The convention ended with a kiss between Trump and Melania, as balloons dropped to mark the conclusion of the event.
