Trump's acceptance speech was 'far cannier' than Joe Biden's | Sky News AustraliaDonald Trump was smart to focus on the unrest plaguing many Democrat-run cities during his official Republican presidential nomination acceptance speech, according to Sky News host James Morrow.\n\nDuring his almost 80 minute long speech on the White House lawn, President Trump said the upcoming election would 'decide whether we save the American Dream, or whether we allow a socialist agenda to demolish our cherished destiny.\n\n“Your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding Americans, or whether we give free reign to violent anarchists, agitators, and criminals who threaten our citizens,' President Trump said to the crowd of approximately 1,000 people.\n\nThe President also touched on the unrest sweeping across some cities in the US in the wake of the shooting of black man Jacob Blake was shot seven times by police.\n\nWhile some protesters have conducted themselves peacefully, some have turned to looting-and-violence, which Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden has condemned.\n\nMr Morrow said the Democrats are still trying to imply Trump supporters are 'deplorables' whereas Trump is trying to entice wavering left-wing voters.\n\n'Trump was really smart, he focused dead-in on Joe Biden and he said, he's the guy, he's the problem,' Mr Morrow said.\n\n'That means that people who might be wavering, who might be on the left, who don't like what is going on in these Democrat cities, which are being destroyed by rioters and looters all in the name of quote-un-quote protest, there is room for them to say 'I'm not going to vote Biden, I'm going to vote Trump.'\n\n'I think on that level it was a far cannier speech than anything Biden said.'\n
