Friend, 

It’s over! Today, the city of Milwaukee can rejoice and be merry as the worst people the country has to offer check out of their motels and go back to the holes they crawled out of.

The entire theme this week should have been Make America Weird Again. The last four days were just… odd…  even for a Trump event. Even the audience, who had watched three nights of this garbage already, looked a little off put. Were they surprised Melania even showed up? Or that Trump tried to take the RNC into Day 5 of a 4 day event? Who knows.

Nevertheless, the stunners were short lived as the moment every Republican had been waiting for turned out to be the most draining part of the convention. Donnie got up there, ear pillow, undersized suit and all, and spoke for 92 MINUTES. We know he doesn’t like to give up the microphone, but come on. The biggest takeaway from his speech? He’s not a moderate. He hasn’t softened his tone. He tried so hard to cover it up. But the truth came out the longer he talked. Retribution and revenge are the first things on his mind. They always will be.

This may have been the worst speech of his career, and that’s saying something. Word on the street is Trump wrote it himself, and we absolutely believe that. It quite literally sounded like the ramblings of a deranged old man who’s upset about anything and everything. When he said “to conclude” you could literally hear the sighs of relief in the crowd… his crowd. They were dozing off.

What was supposed to be a speech of unity, hope, and the debut of the “reborn Trump” turned out to be a list of grievances that contained his usual pack of lies. He played all of his old hits. Election fraud, DOJ attacks, "black jobs", Hannibal Lecter, immigrants are "murderers and rapists". It was like a good ol’ fashioned Trump rally, except this time, all of America got to see just how all over the place Trump really is.

It was a sad night. Well, from a MAGA perspective. He really blew it. He had a chance to gain some sympathy votes, come off as a compassionate person, and just call for unity. But nope. He simply likes hate, violence, division, and conspiracy theories too much. He lives to get people riled up with lies. He wants to be a cult leader and a dictator. He likes being the bad guy.

So, can people change? We know Donald Trump cannot change. 

He will always be the orange angry fat guy who yells about windmills. He will always wake up thinking about retribution and revenge. That’s who he is.

In short, he will always be a loser. As Americans, we don’t like our country headed up by losers. That’s just another reason we have to stop this guy in November. Last night, he made it clear, the Trump revenge tour is still on. Help us shut it down >>
