In his speech on the final night of the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump declared that Democrats should abandon the Justice Department's cases against him, labeling them as part of a 'witch hunt.' He criticized the numerous subpoenas received by his sons, Eric and Donald Jr., and emphasized the need to make America great again. Despite a more conciliatory tone at the start of his speech, Trump quickly reverted to his characteristic rhetoric against immigration, calling it an 'invasion' and promising to implement the largest deportation program in U.S. history if re-elected.
Trump's immigration reform plans include closing the southern border, reviving the Muslim travel ban, and redefining citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. He aims to utilize military resources for building detention facilities and enhancing cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE. Additionally, he has proposed severe penalties for drug traffickers and human traffickers, including the death penalty, and plans to dismantle what he terms the 'deep state' within federal agencies.
In a surprising show of support, Melania Trump made a notable appearance at the Republican National Convention, standing by her husband during his acceptance speech. This marked her first major public event since the announcement of Trump's re-candidacy, raising questions about her future involvement in the campaign. While she did not speak, her presence alongside Trump and their family members suggested a renewed commitment to support his political ambitions as the 2024 election approaches.
