Thank you very much. Thank you very, very much. And thank you, Dana. Thank you, Kid Rock, sometimes referred to as “Bob.” And thank you, Lee, right from the beginning, thank you very much. What a talent. What a beautiful, beautiful song. Thank you.

Friends, delegates and fellow citizens. I stand before you this evening with a message of confidence, strength and hope. Four months from now, we will have an incredible victory, and we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country.

Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed.

The discord and division in our society must be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart.
Snip...


Note: This is the actual transcript of the spoken words and not the original script given to the press in advance. It has been estimated by a variety of individuals that he added approximately an additional hour to the speech by speaking extemporaneously.

But we know he’s just a blow hard because he didn’t deliver on it last time. Why would people believe a word he says?

Wow, what a philosopher. I cannot imagine myself willingly sitting in that arena and listening to 90 minutes of his repetitive word salad and verbal diarrhea.

Reading it was enough to see one could categorize the speech as a class in narcissism, demagoguery, and advanced marketing.


Classic sick Trump.

George was seated with all the other dignitaries, while listening to convicts inauguration speech in 2017.
After the speech, George turned to the others around him and said, “That was some weird shit!”.
