RNC speech: has Donald Trump really changed after shooting?

An assassination attempt, J.D. Vance - a relatively unknown Ohio Senator - picked as Donald Trump’s Vice President, and current President Joe Biden desperately clinging on to his own nomination - it’s been another huge week in American politics and there's still one day left at the Republican National Convention where Donald Trump is due to speak - so what will happen next?
[Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...]
We’re in Milwaukee where amongst the sea of red MAGA 2024 hats, some delegates are sporting fake white bandages on their ears - a nod to the injury that Trump sustained on Saturday night’s shooting.
Millennial Vice President hopeful J.D. Vance has made his first speech to the nation and reaffirmed his loyalty to Donald Trump - a change since calling him ‘America’s Hitler’ eight years ago.
But has the assassination attempt actually helped Donald Trump on his campaign? Will President Joe Biden definitely be the Democrat standing against him? And what’s the deal with all this new-found unity?
To discuss all this with Matt Frei on the first episode of The American Fourcast is Republican strategist Cassie Smedile, Washington Post reporter Azi Paybarah, and Channel 4 News’ Washington correspondent Siobhan Kennedy.
Produced by Calum Fraser, Shaheen Sattar, Silvia Maresca, Millie Teasedale, Zahra Warsame, and Rob Thompson

I thought we should be condemning anti democracatic culture? Wow, so much for democracy.

[@lonegroover01]

Channel 4 news is absolute garbage these days. These detached and arrogant people are thoroughly disturbing to listen to.

[@robricketts340]

Agree

[@pamelapauline70]

I hope you guys read this that are on here that are speaking. I'm voting on the policy's and for Trump for the 3rd time in a row. My 68 year old retired husband just had to go back to work. Kids are moving back in with parents, older parents moving in with kids. Our border was secure. We could afford a vacation. Illegals are living in hotels and our unemployed and veterans are living on the streets. He's not a convicted felon because we don't even know what the crime is. Three different areas didn't see any reason to put Trump on trial, including DA Bragg. That SCOTUS ruling also helps Biden and his crime family.

[@ryannath85]

Trump is definitely a convicted felon. Did you not see the conviction? He tried to overturn the election and get more votes from the state of Georgia. That’s illegal.

Watch his acceptance speech and you'll understand why Trump picked him. His politics are repulsive as is Trump, but he's a brilliant Orator and can hold an audience in the palm of his hand.

[@sonofsomerset1695]

Nobody cares about how repulsive some people might fing Trump, he's clearly the best choice over Biden to any rational person that isnt brainwashed by propaganda media like CH4 and the BBC.

Yeah I am absolutely repulsed by trying to keep more jobs in America, secure the borders, avoid foreign conflicts, promoting peace and having a booming economy and low inflation. lol

Could it be… and this is just a question… that “some” (not all) people that are from Europe are very skeptical about Trump… and also criticizing him because of His America first policies. I believe fear can bring out the worst in some people. I believe as a minority from NY that something has to change.

Donald Trump is a ‘different man’ : His lighter makeup makes him look like a younger princess.

[@martinhumble]

Let's hope he has. But his trackrecord points the other way. It was a terrible thing we saw. And luck it didnt have another ending. But, still he is authoritarian and his policys will harm the already barely functional American Democracy. Let us hope it will change.

[@Skygrey2943]

@southlondon86 The thing is, we are in late stage capitalism, and there's not a huge difference between their policies at home and abroad. Both parties are captured by high finance. We would be feeling the bite of high rents and price gouging by corporations if Trump was in charge too. He may even accelerate this downward trend to further enrich himself and those behind him pulling the strings in his second term.

The left and Europe are hilarious! You're in a bubble and incapable of understanding why Americans want Trump! Your mocking attitude and hubris are breathtaking.

[@Madfunkids]

President Biden is not our saviour. Let's be clear. America needs wisdom and we have that in President Joe Biden. He needs to be strongly supported. The RepublicansMAGAs and Mainstream media did the same thing in 2016 & look how that turned out when people believed MAGA's perpetual media blitz. Move on to the crucial issues of our time: - 😱 Instead of talk of not supporting #Biden/Harris ❤ have we started talked about: - Project 2025 ? - Reaching independents ? - Meeting swing States needs ? - Making sure American families are in much better position by Sept 2024 'back to school' time - partisan SCOTUS & federal Courts - Voter suppression

This formerly, slightly left-of-centre Canadian, agrees with you.
