Trump changing GOP convention speech to stress importance of unity after Pennsylvania rally shooting
New York Post ^ | July 15, 2024 | Michael Goodwin

Former President Donald Trump revealed Sunday that he’s altering his upcoming speech at the Republican National Convention and his remarks will now focus on uniting the country after surviving an assassination attempt.

The 45th president told The Post Sunday he “threw away” an “extremely tough speech” to make way for the new approach following Saturday’s shooting at his Pennsylvania rally.

...

“I want to try to unite our country,” he said aboard his private jet en route to Milwaukee. “But I don’t know if that’s possible. People are very divided.”

...

Trump said policy positions that focus on immigration and transgender Americans might make mending the country’s divide a difficult feat.

“Some people want open borders, some don’t,” he said.

“Some want men to be able to play on women’s sports teams, and others don’t,” he said, stressing success will be the ultimate unifier.

It means he gets the high ground and “gets there first.” Now when Biden tries it it will seem like he has nothing new to offer.

Trump stressing unity?

With the Political Left?

Insane.

The Political Left is pathologically dishonest.

I plan to vote for the guy who raised his fist and said, "Fight, Fight, Fight."

If that guy has transformed into someone else, then the election really does not matter anymore.

I wonder what this means?

Hope, optimism, shining city upon the hill.

“Unifying” the country takes the issue away from Democrats. Completely invalidates it with his own calming words and bandaged ear. His bravery, defiance and willingness to fight is right there on his ear for all to see. It will pull in independents and some Democrat holdovers who are dissatisfied with Biden’s lousy performance on everything.

Lol! You are an anti-Trumper for goodness sakes and make it a point to spew your nonsense on Free Republic with persistent fervor. So, why get your nose out of joint when you get called out.

I wouldn’t change the speech too much. Biden’s speech yesterday didn’t sound very unifying.

I’m worried as well. How can you unite evil with good. You can’t. If he goes soft on immigration and cutting up young children... how could we vote for him?

“I wonder what this means? “

Unifying the country will be an effect of implementing good ideas that make our country run better. People will be happier. Call it ‘unified’ if you like but it’s more precisely termed a ‘consensus’.

Ok so Mr. Trump you are now for men to go ahead and lift those heavy bar bells and break all the women records you always joked about?
Are you going to go ahead and applaud Thea guy swimmer destroying all the women’s records?
Or maybe we need the millions of illegals coming into the country!
Ok sir,might as well withdraw from the race, let Joe continue

“ Trump is learning here. Being bombastic all the time is not necessary.”

Exactly
Smart way to move forward after what happened.
It’s the Reagan way to do it.

But I don’t know if that’s possible. People are very divided.

I, for one, refuse to "unite" with scum who promote leftist goals. They are the enemy.

Trump needs to just do what's right - close the border, deport third world invaders, put a stop to anything associated with transgenderism in our government/military, and just do what's right, damn it!

Do not propose we "unite" with a small percentage of the population who are mentally ill.

Party Unity is PU! I hope Trump doesn’t make the mistake Reagan did when he picked Bush in 1980. That year, conservatives had finally beaten the GOPe after five decades, and then Reagan let the fox come back into the henhouse, hoping for “party unity.” Please, God, don’t let Trump choose Nikki Haley, Jeb! or someone like that.

There is no way to unite with people who literally want you dead.

None

Zip. Zero. Nodda.

Would be better to focus on the economy and speeches that inspire rather than destroy.

We have had about 20 years of steady divisiveness and hatred from the Democrats. Now we cannot even afford to splurge on a steak once a year, and the chances of people like me being able to buy a truck in the future are nil...not that what they are building and selling even look interesting any more.

Let’s talk about food priced and how to get government out of the automotive industry.

I can't forget that video that you posted the night of, that was almost immediately removed from Instagram.
I feel like that 2007 movie Shooter was a documentary.
