Watch as Donald Trump delivered the closing address of this year’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday evening (18 July).
Ahead of his speech, the former US president promised his remarks would be more moderate in tone, after calling for cooler rhetoric in the wake of the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last Saturday.
“I had all prepared an extremely tough speech, really good, all about the corrupt, horrible administration,” Trump told the New York Post earlier this week. “But I threw it away.”
“I want to try to unite our country,” he continued.
The ex-president, who wore a bandage on the ear that was grazed during the attempt on his life, told the crowd of delegates and supporters on Thursday that he was “not supposed to be here” and credited bring on the stage to “the grace of almighty God.”
