The speech - in which Donald Trump recounted in dramatic detail the moment he almost lost his life - was the first he has given since last weekend’s shocking event.
: This is the tale of two Donald Trumps. The first version is the bombastic, bare-knuckled brawler whose grievance-fuelled speeches have become a hallmark of US politics for the last eight years.
“It’s nice to get along with somebody who has a lot of nuclear weapons,” he told the crowd as he bragged about his relationship with Kim Jong-un. “Thank you, but I’m not,” he continued, speaking in almost hushed tones. “I stand before you in this arena, only by the grace of almighty god.His acceptance of the nomination also capped off a Republican National Convention that many delegates and officials this week said was the most united and disciplined in the party’s history.
He then began to describe in detail the harrowing experience of almost losing his life last Saturday , when“So many people have asked me what happened, and therefore, I’ll tell you what happened,” Trump said. “You’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s too painful to tell.” Even before Trump took the stage on Thursday night to formally accept his party’s presidential nomination, the effort to soften his image was clear in the carefully crafted speakers chosen.
Trump’s grandchildren were there too, including the four-year-old daughter of Eric and Lara Trump, who sat in his lap for part of the proceedings.
