Donald Trump has accepted the nomination of the Republican Party to be their presidential candidate for the third time.
At the Republican National Convention in the City of Milwaukee, many attendees blamed an often inflammatory mainstream media for helping to create a nation where a new poll found that nearly 90% of the country fears that acts of violence will throw the nation into chaos.
When people are trying to portray Trump as Hitler, if somebody who was living in that era would have had a chance to take Hitler out, we would look back at that and say, wish they could have done it.
So for people to try to make him out to be Hitler, and then act shocked that somebody tried to do something that you would hope somebody could have done to Hitler, it seems there's a little bit of doublespeak, and I think that's hypocrisy.

In his highly anticipated speech, to a crowd increasingly confident of victory, Trump broke with his own often inflammatory rhetoric by talking of unity, a shared national destiny, and using religious overtones after his near death experience.
I don't listen to the media. So I'm not concerned with what they have to say and what the fake news has to say.
I'm, I'm more interested in what the President is going to have to say. And that's who I follow.
I follow my God and I follow President Trump.

At the same time, unprecedented calls continue to mount from rich donors and high-level Democrats for Joe Biden to step down as the presumptive Democratic Party nominee over concerns about his age and blatantly decreased mental acuity.
Biden is currently self isolating having contracted COVID-19.
A new poll found that almost 70% of Democrats think Biden should withdraw from the race. Biden's almost certain replacement would be his vice president, Kamala Harris, whose approval ratings are almost as low as Biden's.
I don't think that they should be discussing this out in the open.
I think that's a behind-closed-door issue, and I will support the democratic person, whoever it turns out to be.

The first major post assassination attempt polls showed a notable boost for Trump, often giving him a three point lead over Biden in seven key states.
Almost 60% of those taking part in the poll do not believe Harris has earned the right to be the nominee, with almost 70% saying they would like to see leading Democrats debate one another before the selection of a new nominee.
