Donald Trump gave a humble and thoughtful Republican nomination acceptance speech last night that saw him as less of a brawler and more reflective on life and unity in the days following the assassination attempt that almost claimed his life.
“I stand before you this evening with a message of confidence, strength, and hope,” Trump began. “Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.”
“The discord and division in our society must be healed. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart,” he said, noting that he’s running for “all” of America in his unification call.
“I am running to be president for all of America — not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half. So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president.”
“None of us knows God’s plan, or where life’s adventure will take us. But if the events of last Saturday make anything clear, it is that every single moment we have on Earth is a gift from God. We have to make the most of every day for the people and country we love,” he continued.
“Every single moment we have on Earth is a gift from God,” Trump reflected. “I stand before you in this arena only by the Grace of Almighty God.”

“I survived because I had God on my side,” he said further.
He cited the Bible or credited God with his life multiple times and led a moment of silence for Corey Compartore, the fire chief who lost his life in the assassination attempt.
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friend,” Trump said, quoting the Bible verse.
“This is what we need. Despite such a heinous attack, we unite this evening, more determined than ever. Our resolve is unbroken and our purpose is unchanged, to deliver a government that serves the American people better than ever before,” the former president said.
When it comes to pro-life themes, Trump said the Justice Department should stop weaponizing our legal system. That is especially important for the pro-life Americans who Biden put in prison for protesting abortion.
“We are Americans. Ambition is our heritage. Greatness is our birthright,” Trump said in conclusion. “But as long as our energies are spent fighting each other, our destiny will remain out of reach. We must instead take that energy and use it to realize our country’s true potential — and write our own thrilling chapter of the American Story.
“Tonight, I ask for your partnership, for your support, and I am humbly asking for your vote. Every day, I will strive to honor the trust you have placed in me, and I will never let you down.”
