Did the Media Actually Listen to Trump's Bonkers RNC Speech?

Donald Trump promised a nomination acceptance speech that would “bring the country together” in the wake of his attempted assassination, but the meandering rant he delivered on Thursday night missed the mark by a long shot. It doesn’t appear that everyone got the memo, though, as some publications proceeded to publish glowing reviews of the former president’s supposed pledge for unity.

To be fair, Trump’s speech started off sounding more controlled, as he delivered remarks as written on the teleprompter. “The discord and division in our society must be healed, we must heal it quickly. We are bound together by a single fate, a single destiny,” Trump said. “We rise together. Or we fall apart.”

“I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America. So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States.”

Of course, this was within the first 10 minutes of the former president’s speech—the rest of his address was a severe departure, as he used a pledge for unity to further create a wedge between Democrats and Republicans, claiming that his party was just way more into unity than the other guys.

Yep, all the way through the talking, moving around, and even the balloons show.

Some talkers tried to explain he was going great remarks for his planned speech to make everyone happy but he managed to make less happy. That cheered me for spending so much time listening to it because that was about the best thing about it.

Going to be a lengthy, speculative election period. Please, let us all do our best to try to explain good old fashioned common sense to everyone else
