A lot was missing from Day 1 of the RNC
Donald Trump had already announced his selection for vice president, removing 99.4% of the drama from the Republican National Convention before it even officially opened in the “horrible” city of Milwaukee on Monday. All that’s left is to see if angry beard guy can deliver a speech that doesn’t terrify America.
Soon after Trump made an appearance with a bright white square of gauze to cover his ear, there were images of him appearing to sleep through the speeches at the RNC. Based on the timing of the video, it seems likely that Trump was closing his eyes during a prayer. However, it would not have been surprising to see him snoring—along with everyone else.
And that’s because the opening night of the RNC was hugely boring.
