Trump tones down his rhetoric

MILWAUKEE: Donald Trump has given what observers describe as the most humble and conciliatory speech of his political career as he accepted the Republican Party’s nomination as its presidential candidate for the third time.

Mr Trump was driven on stage at the Republican Party convention in an open-top black 1933 Mercedes-Benz to the tune of Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries and spent several minutes accepting a standing ovation from delegates, many of whom sported a white bandage on their right ear in sympathy for his recent shooting injury.

Among those not already wearing a bandage, some used their own handguns to shoot off the top of their right ear, causing what Republican Party officials later said was an as-yet unknown number of fatalities.

The former President – who appeared to be starting to grow a small moustache – began his speech referencing his narrow escape from “a Democratic Party assassination attempt orchestrated by the Biden crime family”.

He then proceeded to thank God for personally intervening to save him and for being a Republican and “a hardcore member of our MAGA movement”.

Mr Trump then spent almost two hours speaking about himself and his achievements as “the best President the USA or any nation for that matter ever had or ever will have”.

In the following two hours Mr Trump attacked his opponent, or as he referred to him, “the  late President Joe Biden”.

As he spoke, the huge screen behind him showed what he claimed were Mr Biden’s confidential medical records revealing he allegedly was suffering from dementia, Parkinson’s disease, explosive diarrhoea, erectile dysfunction, syphilis and halitosis.

The next series of slides Mr Trump displayed – alleged medical records showing Vice-President Kamala Harris as having been born male but transitioned surgically to a female – were explained by US political observers as “political insurance” in the event Mr Biden decides to step aside as his party’s presidential candidate.

Mr Trump then touched upon the hot-button political issue of immigration and promised to travel to the Mexican border and personally machine-gun entire families trying to enter the USA and to construct “a series of camps concentrated along my border wall to process illegal immigrants who survive the shooting”.

The remainder of his eight-hour speech was drowned out by a raucous standing ovation, celebratory gunfire from the crowd, as well as more strategic shooting that killed an estimated two dozen members of the media covering the convention.

Seasoned US political correspondents who survived the event described Trump’s acceptance speech as perhaps the most unassuming and respectful address he had given since he first announced his intention to run for President in 2015.
