President Trump accepts the Republican Party nomination at 2020 RNC (FULL) | USA TODAY

President Donald J. Trump delivers a speech accepting the nomination of the Republican Party for a second term in the White House in the 2020 election. Trump gave the address at the White House to close out the Republican National Convention.

Using the setting of the White House as part of the party convention, including using White House staff to make the festivities go off without a hitch, would likely constitute a violation of the Hatch Act, as many critics of Trump have pointed out. But the evening commenced anyway and finished with a large fireworks display on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. just south of the White House South Lawn. Protesters gathered during the speech near Lafayette Park and Black Lives Matter Plaza on the North side of the White House grounds.

  1. A Teenager volunteers his time to bring his gun to help protect property rights of people he does not know. A good guy with the gun is looking for a bad guy with the gun and ends up killing two protesters who should not have been there in the first place. Does anybody have a clue who the president is??? The good guy should not have been arrested for murder he should get the key to the city for being a hero. I didn’t vote in the last presidential election so I am asking anyone who did can you understand now how stupid you look to me if you don’t get this teenage out of jail and buy him a beer? Maybe this election we can get a president to spell it out and put it on videotape by saying something like this… “A good guy with a gun should kill a bad guy with a gun”, that’s what guns are for it is your second amendment rights, as your newly elected president he could say; I think teachers should have guns so they can kill people as well. Please, people of America, don’t be stupid you have the right to kill people don’t mess up the party for everybody else who likes to have fun… Bring the beer!

    1. TELL ME WHY PROTESTERS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE. PROTEST WAS WHAT THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON. THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE AND PROTEST AND PETITION THE GOVERNMENT IS A CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED RIGHT. THE VAST, VAST MAJORITY OF PROTESTERS, OF ALL COLORS BY THE WAY, HAVE BEEN PEACEFUL. THIS IDIOT KID SHOULD NOT HAVE EVER BROUGHT A GUN TO THE PROTEST. THE INITIAL WAY HE WAS TREATED BY THE POLICE, EVEN GIVING HIM WATER WHILE HE WAS BRANDISHING THE WEAPON, AND THEN TO BE ALLOWED TO JUST WALK BY THE COPS AFTER HE HAD JUST SHOT THREE PEOPLE WAS UNCONSCIONABLE. JUST ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION, AND TRY TO ANSWER HONESTLY AFTER TAKING OFF YOUR TRUMP COLORED GLASSES: WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THAT KID WERE A BLACK KID BRANDISHING AN ASSULT WEAPON AND SHOOTING THREE PEOPLE?
      LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT ANSWER IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE. HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN WATER BY THE COPS, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO JUST WALK BY THE COPS AND GO HOME. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD ON THE GROUND FILLED WITH DOZENS OF BULLETS FIRED BY HATE FILLED COPS. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. START THINKING WITH YOUR HEARTS PEOPLE.

  2. I bet Pelosi and her fellow Marxists crapped their diapers and spit out their teeth when they saw those grand finale fireworks.

    1. @First last
      Not likely. A big waste of taxpayer money! The narcissist does go grandiose. Why not? He didn’t pay for it. You did. Fireworks are for children, which he is.

  3. Some countries deceive and confuse other countries, daily instigate hatred, sell arms, instigate nations to kill each other, provoke wars, blood flow in rivers, millions of people are displaced, suffering, despair, and self-righteous. I think I’m great, and I don’t reflect on it. I have been retributed recently.

  4. I AM A 68 YEAR OLD MAN.  I CONSIDER MYSELF A CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTARIAN. I HAVE BEEN AN INDEPENDANT VOTER MY ENTIRE LIFE. I HAVE, FOR THE MOST PART, VOTED TO SUPPORT THE GOP AND CONSERVATIVE  CANDIDATES OVER THE YEARS.  NEVER HAVE VOTED DEMOCRAT AS I ABHORE BIG GOVT AND IT’S INTRUSION INTO OUR LIVES.
    AFTER BEING FED UP WITH BOTH PARTIES IN 2016 I SAW DONALD TRUMP AS A VIABLE OPTION. IT WAS THE PERFECT STORM.
    I SENT THE GOP AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN MONEY SEVERAL TIMES AND VOTED FOR HIM FOR PRESIDENT.  I WAS HAPPY WITH HIS FIRST 2 YEARS AND THOUGHT HE DID UNLEASH THE ECONOMY AND THE RESULTS WERE OBVIOUSLY GOOD.
    BUT I CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT TRUMP.  SIMPLY PUT,  HE HAS  BECOME THE WORST PRESIDENT IN MY LIFETIME .   HIS TOTAL LACK OF LEADERSHIP DURING THIS COVID19 PANDEMIC ALONG WITH HIS OBVIOUS STUPIDITY ABOUT THINGS MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC IS STARTLING.  HE HAS MADE ONE IGNORANT STATEMENT AFTER ANOTHER.  IF YOU CANNOT SEE THAT YOU ARE LYING TO YOURSELF.
    HIS PATHETIC AND HEARTLESS RESPONSE TO THE LEGITIMATE CALLS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE MASSIVE PROTESTS BY PEOPLE  OF ALL COLORS IS DISGRACEFUL. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE TREATED UNEQUALLY ESPECIALLY BY THE NATION’S POLICE DEPARTMENTS WHICH ARE THE BIGGEST BASTIONS OF RACISM IN THIS COUNTRY. AND THEY GENERALLY ARE COMPLETELY UNACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.  AT A TIME LIKE THIS WE NEED A LEADER FOR EVERYONE.  TRUMP IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT ONE.
    TRUMP IS SO OBVIOUSLY A SOCIOPATHIC NARCISSIST.   HIS CHILDISH AND MANY TIMES INACCURATE TWEETS HAVE BECOME AN EMBARRASSMENT FOR THE NATION.  HIS INTERACTIONS WITH FOREIGN LEADERS ARE UNPROFESSIONAL AT BEST.
    WE NEED A LEADER FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IN THESE TRYING TIMES. TRUMP ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF. HE HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT IT TAKES TO LEAD THE COUNTRY THROUGH THESE HARROWING TIMES.  HE  WAS ELECTED BECAUSE OF  THE PERFECT STORM I MENTIONED EARLIER. MANY INDEPENDANTS LIKE ME VOTED FOR HIM BECAUSE BOTH PARTIES HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE FOR MANY YEARS NOW.  BUT THESE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS HAVE EXPOSED HIS IGNORANCE AND TOTAL LACK OF JUDGMENT.   MANY, MANY VOTERS LIKE ME WILL BE LEAVING HIM.  THIS IS A  VERY SAD PERIOD IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY, AND , SADLY TRUMP IS NOT UP TO THE TASK.  I CANNOT VOTE FOR BIDEN AS I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE COUNTRY HEAD IN THE WRONG DIRECTION .
    HOWEVER, I AM ALSO NOT A HYPOCRIT, NOR CAN I LIE TO MYSELF.
    I WILL NOT BE SENDING TRUMP OR THE GOP ANY MORE MONEY AND I CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR HIM IN NOVEMBER .   MARK MY WORDS,  THERE WILL BE MANY MORE INDEPENDENTS LIKE ME WHO WILL BE LEAVING TRUMP AS WELL.

    1. Good for you, please stay at home and don’t vote Joe Biden.

      And those ‘people of color’ fully support the president crackdown (there house is the one burning). The one complaining is a train marxist so it thier job to complain–thier skin color didn’t protect them from being scum who approve the killing of black police Veteran David Dorn. Now the black and latino buisness that burn down by riotor on the other hand is bigger problem, luckily another tax break will jumpstart them up. You are right that there are no black supporter on Trump’s side because according to Biden if you don’t vote for him, you ain’t black.

      Those are not riot, they are civil war from the buttfucked Bernie Bros and should be treated as such. Why do you think wheeler and Lightfoot did nothing. It was thier voter base so they had to placate the mob. Funny isn’t it that all the rioting and black shooting happen in deep blue city? Must be a coincidence.

      Blatant ignorance aside at least you don’t vote for the blatant racist support by Richard Spensor and backed by overzealous prosecutor who sent black people to prison as free labors, so I guess you are not too stupid.

    1. While I understand your frustrations, both the President and the Vice President are exempt from the Hatch Act.

  5. Republican party; Leaching the system so the rich can get richer. Then telling the country and the world that if we don’t vote for them that the Democratic party will do just what they are doing. Lies and deception from the Republican party. And the world is wild enough that many may not see through this in the layers of it all. Let us educate ourselves and dig deep for the truth. The truth is clear if we listen to our hearts and not to the rich.
