The Republican Convention of Milwaukee who formally votes Donald Trump’s nomination and his vice president, the 39-year-old senator from Ohio J.D. Vance after the exclusions of two rivals Marco Rubio and Doug Burgum, it couldn’t have started under a better auspice for the tycoon: Judge Aileen Cannon, an appointee of his, dismissed the Mar-a-Lago papers case, ruling that the appointment of special prosecutor Jack Smith violated the Constitution. A formal defect, which the prosecution will probably challenge, but enough for the former president to ask that all proceedings against him be shelved. “If we are to move forward and reunite the nation after the horrific events of Saturday, this filing should be just the first step, followed quickly by filing the entire witch hunt.”attacked the tycoon in a post on Truth reiterating that «the Democratic Department of Justice has coordinated all these political attacks, which are an electoral interference against Joe Biden’s political opponent». Politicized investigations therefore, to be archived in the name of that unity of the country hoped for by both Trump and Biden after the attack on The Donald in the rally in Pennsylvania, a swing state where the tycoon now leads 48% to 45%, while he is only 3 points behind in Virginia, won by the Dem leader in 2020 with a gap of 10 points. Unity will also be the theme of his acceptance speech for the nomination on Thursday, when at least 100,000 red, white and blue balloons, the national colors, will fall on the delegates at the Fiserv Forum. The former president in fact revealed that he completely rewrote his speech, which «would have been shocking, one of the most incredible», he explained. “Honestly, it’s going to be a completely different story now,” he said, describing it as “an opportunity to unite the country” and “even the world.” It’s not known how long he’ll last in his unusually moderate guise, but Trump intends to use the media opportunity of the event to convince independents, moderates and ‘swing voters’ who are oriented towards the Democrats but frustrated by Biden’s senile failures. To break through to the center and close the game, he also invited his rival Nikky Haley, who after the attack also agreed to speak from the stage. Neither the first lady nor her beloved daughter Ivanka will speak. The royal family will be represented by the tycoon’s eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, by the former’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle (former Fox News host) and by the latter’s wife Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican Party.
The guest list does not include George W. Bush, Mike Pence and Mitt Romney, exponents of an old guard now on the margins of a party shaped in the image and likeness of the leader. At the Fiserv Forum, the Bucks’ playing field, there are almost 50,000 people, including over 2,400 delegates, including some ‘false voters’ under investigation. The platform was approved on Monday, refined by the tycoon especially on the crucial issue of abortion, on which individual states must decide (a change that infuriated anti-abortionists) and on gay marriage. Immediately after the tycoon’s announcement on Truth of the ‘running mate’: the former president has chosen Vance, the youngest, most conservative (also on abortion) and most intellectual candidate (author of the bestseller ‘Hillbilly Elegy’) but also the one with the least political experience (senator for a year) and therefore less comparable to Kamala Harris as vice president ready to become commander in chief. Several anti-Trump protests are also planned, which will put the impressive security apparatus to the test. The first on Monday with about 2,000 protesters from the ‘Coalition to March on the RNC’, a coalition that brings together 120 groups and has the support of 125 liberal activists in the country. “Join us to fight against the racist and reactionary agenda of the Republicans, to stand with Palestine; to defend women’s rights, reproductive rights and that of the LGBTQ community; to defend and expand immigrant rights and to support peace, justice and equity,” attacked Omar Flores, co-chair of the coalition.
