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.

I wonder what this means? Will he change or ignore the party platform? Will he change his VP choice as well?

Let God guide you President Trump.

(I personally don’t want to put up with the relentless, endless churning of media soundbites and distortions of 2015 onwards.)

Feel free to reshape and take back the narrative!

Why don’t you get over yourself. Do you have something relevant to share or are you just here to throw insults around?

Earlier reports about this say that Trump is dropping the heavy attacks on Biden and is going with this unity blah blah blah as it will appeal to women and moderates.

And Trump is right. Why focus on Biden anymore? He is toast. He’s done. Over. He needs to pack up this week and book a nice room in the memory care unit of a good nursing home.

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

Yes, that makes good sense. Wonder if that impacts his VP choice as well?

You sure know about insults with all of your anti-Trump rhetoric over the last number of months.

Were you slightly disappointed that the shot missed yesterday? Honest question...

I doubt the VP pick has changed.

Although the enemedia got the vapors of Vance and his remarks yesterday.

And so bully for JD. He exhibited the kind of fighting spirit Trump and America needs.

Hmm. I don’t want Trump to go soft on immigration or transgenders.

Many years ago, a mountain dweller captured a double rainbow on his camera, and while weeping in joy he asked “what does it all mean”. He seemed kinda stoned. A few years thereafter, someone recorded a short documentary on the guy. He unfortunately passed in his early 40s likely due to obesity.

I’ve taken liberties with the details, but the description more or less captures what I meant by “double rainbows”. It was a funny meme. Should be easy to find on the interwebs

He’s not an idealogue so it is a risk, but with enough uproar, he usually steps back.

#11: "[J.D. Vance] He exhibited the kind of fighting spirit Trump and America needs."

Vance is tough like Trump, however, anybody but Larry Craig  Doug "Toe-Tapper" Burgum. Ugh. I'm so done with the country club.

Trump is doing the smart thing. IMHO he’ll use the word “unity” as a weapon against the left to win the middle. I’d say the article above bears that out.

His very first instinct after being shot was to urge us to Fight, Fight, Fight!

Not for nothing, but immediately after the sun set on 9/11, George W. Bush started lecturing the U.S. population against “islamophobia”.

Yup. He’s your typical uninformed arrogant leftist jerk who pisses off patriotic conservatives who’ve been here for years. You can spot his posts a mile away just looking at the content. He belongs at Democrat underground with the rest of the bizarro, hate America leftists.
