Brian Snyder | Reuters “As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart,” said Trump on the eve of the eighth anniversary of his first nomination for the presidency. “Despite such a heinous *******, we unite this evening more determined than ever. Our resolve is unbroken, and our purpose is unchanged — to deliver a government that serves the ********* people,” Trump said. Trump also expressed his “gratitude to the ********* people for your outpouring of love and support following the ************** attempt.” “I am here tonight to lay out a vision for the whole nation,” Trump said. “To every citizen, whether you are young or old, man or woman, Democrat, ***********, or Independent, ****** or white, ****** or Hispanic, I extend to you a hand of loyalty and friendship.” Throughout the speech, Trump did not once mention President Joe Biden by name — a striking, deliberate omission. As of late Thursday, Biden remained the presumptive Democratic nominee. But the omission of Biden’s name underscored the very real possibility that Biden might not be on the ballot in November. Biden is under strong pressure by leading Democrats and rank-and-file members of Congress to drop out of the election contest due to his dismal performance against Trump in a debate last month, and increasing concerns that he is less mentally sharp than even several years ago. Despite not mentioning Biden’s name, Trump blasted the president’s performance over the past three-and-a-half years, particularly when it came to Biden’s border policy. “Less than four years ago, I handed this administration the strongest border in ********* history,” Trump said. “The current administration terminated every single one of those great Trump policies that I put in place to seal the border.” “The greatest invasion in history is taking place right here in our country — they are coming in from every corner of the earth, not just from South America, but from *******, Asia, and the Middle East — they’re coming from everywhere, and this administration does nothing to stop them,” Trump said. He said the ******* States has “an inflation crisis that is making life unaffordable, ravaging the incomes of working and low-income families.” Trump promised the RNC that if elected “the ******* States will be respected again.” “No nation will question our power. No ****** will doubt our might.” Trump’s call for national unity and an end to “discord and division” come nearly four years after he refused to accept the results of the 2020 election, which he lost as a one-term incumbent to President Joe Biden, falsely claiming he was the victim of widespread ballot ******.

Trump’s followers then stormed the Capitol, invading the halls of Congress, injuring more than 100 police officers as they delayed for hours the confirmation of his defeat by Biden. Trump’s vice president Mike Pence, who presided over the ****** session of Congress that day, hid from the mob that Trump for hours refused to call off. In his speech Thursday, Trump relied on an apocalyptic vision of the world, as he has done for years. “Here is an international crisis the likes of which the world has seldom seen,” Trump said. “War is now raging in Europe and the Middle East, a growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and all of Asia, and our planet is teetering on the edge of World War Three, and this will be a war like no other.” “It is time for a change,” Trump said. “We simply cannot sustain four more years of this administration.” This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up #supposed #tonight This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 0 Quote Link to comment https://hopzone.eu/forums/topic/70416-%E2%80%98i%E2%80%99m-not-supposed-to-be-here-tonight%E2%80%99/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
