President Trump Delivers A Powerful Speech At The RNC
President Donald Trump delivered a powerful speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday, where he formally accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States.
Eric Trump said: "He stood tall, fueled not by personal ambition, but by a profound love for this country and a love for all of you -- the American people. That man is the 45th President and soon to be 47th President of the United States."
Journalist Tucker Carlson: "I think it was divine intervention. But the effect it had on Donald Trump, he was no longer just a political party's nominee, or a former president, or a future president. This was the leader of a nation."
UFC President Dana White: "I'm in the tough guy business and this man is the toughest, most resilient human being that I have ever met in my life. The higher the stakes, the harder he fights -- and this guy never ever gives up!"
