I'm kinda glad we are focusing on words. It might tone those ignorant politicians and media down on the rhetoric and maybe a little unity would happen.

I'm kinda glad we are focusing on words. It might tone those ignorant politicians and media down on the rhetoric and maybe a little unity would happen.

Let's focus on Trump's spoken words....as transcribed:

At the beginning, he invokes a message of unity:

"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.

I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.
So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States. Thank you. Thank you very much."

And goes on to effectively describe the attempt on his life.

I’m not supposed to be here tonight. Not supposed to be here.

[Crowd chants - "yes you are"]

Thank you. But I’m not. And I’ll tell you. I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of almighty God.

And watching the reports over the last few days, many people say it was a providential moment. Probably was. When I rose, surrounded by Secret Service, the crowd was confused because they thought I was dead. And there was great, great sorrow. I could see that on their faces as I looked out. They didn’t know I was looking out; they thought it was over.

But I could see it and I wanted to do something to let them know I was OK. I raised my right arm, looked at the thousands and thousands of people that were breathlessly waiting and started shouting, “Fight, fight, fight.”

....

In an age when our politics too often divide us, now is the time to remember that we are all fellow citizens — we are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Up to this point, one might actually believe that Trump's brush with death really did change him....

And we must not criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement, which is what’s been happening in our country lately, at a level that nobody has ever seen before. In that spirit, the Democrat party should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy. Especially since that is not true. In fact, I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country.

He then goes on to laude Judge Cannon for dismissing the classified documents case and trails off into his usual "I'm the vicitim of witch hunts" non-sense...

Every week they get another subpoena from the Democrats. Crazy Nancy Pelosi, the whole thing. Just boom, boom, boom.


The rest of his meandering, speech contradicts any message of unity.....and goes on....and on....and on.

Let's focus on Trump's spoken words

Let us not because the words from politician's mouths are deplorable at times.

Trump isn't enough of a unity candidate to even have folks like Romney, Bush, Bush, Cheney, Christie and Pence at the Republican convention.

But let's be clear, Trump needs unity among those who support him. And he needs his base to show up at the polls. Given the difference in enthusiasm of the voters toward their choice for president, Trump will easily win with the same number of votes as in 2020 (which was more than in 2016). A unexpectantly large turnout gave Biden the presidential and House victory in 2020.
