Big TV RATINGS last night for the Republican Convention, the best and most successful in history! Fox led the way. MSNBC was dead last. Four Great Days!!!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
I have raised a lot of money for the victims of the lunatic shooter in Butler, Pennsylvania. No amount of money can replace or repair, but it will help some very good families!
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was just sentenced to 16 years in prison by a Russian Court. Biden will NEVER GET HIM OUT, unless he pays a “king’s ransom.” I will get him out FOR NO COMPENSATION immediately following our victory on November 5th, and it will be my great honor to do so. Vote for TRUMP, and The Wall Street Journal should STOP BEING STUPID!!!
President Zelenskyy of Ukraine and I had a very good phone call earlier today. He congratulated me on a very successful Republican National Convention and becoming the Republican nominee for President of the United States. He condemned the heinous assassination attempt last Saturday and remarked about the American people coming together in the spirit of Unity during these times. I appreciate President Zelenskyy for reaching out because I, as your next President of the United States, will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and devastated countless innocent families. Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity.
Rest in Peace, Corey Comperatore🙏

Tragically, the shooter claimed the life of one of our fellow Americans, Corey "Comparator" -- unbelievable person, everybody tells me. (Applause.) Unbelievable. And seriously wounded, two other great warriors spoke to them today, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, two great people. I also spoke to all three families of these tremendous people. Our love and prayers are with them, and always will be. We're never going to forget them. They came for a great rally. They were serious Trumpsters, I want to tell you. They were serious Trumpsters, and still are. But Corey, unfortunately, we have to use the past tense. He was incredible. He was a highly respected former fire chief, respected by everybody, was accompanied by his wife, Helen -- incredible woman I spoke to today, devastated -- and two precious daughters. He lost his life selflessly acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets. He went right over the top of them and was hit. What a fine man he was. (applause) (applause) (applause) I want to thank the fire department and the family for sending his helmet, his outfit, and it was just something, and they're going to do something very special when they get it. But we did something which cannot match what happened, not even close. But I am very proud to say that over the past few days, we've raised $6.3 million -- (applause) -- for the families of David, James, and Corey, including from a friend of mine just called up. He sent me a check right here. I just got it -- $1 million from Dan Newland. Thank you, Dan. (applause) And again, when speaking to the family, I told them, I said, "Well, I'm going to be sending you a lot of money, but I can't compensate." They all said the same thing. "You're right, sir. We appreciate so much what you're doing, but nothing can take the place in the case of Corey." And the other two -- by the way, they were very, very seriously injured, but now they're doing very well. They're going to be okay. (applause) They're going to be doing very well. (applause) They're warriors. So now I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor of our friend, Corey.

I've done some stuff personally in the past. I'm not planning on doing that this time. Um, and that includes, you know, not endorsing either of the candidates. Um, now, look, I mean, there's obviously a lot of crazy stuff going on in the world. I mean, the historic events over the last-- like, over the weekend, and, I mean, I don't know, on a personal note, it's-- yeah, I mean, seeing Donald Trump get-- get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life. But, um, but look, I mean, it's, um, you know, as-- and I think, look, at some level, as an American, it's, like, hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit, um, in that fight, and I think that that's why a lot of people like the guy.

Together, we will SAVE THIS COUNTRY, we will restore the Republic, and we will usher in the rich and wonderful tomorrows that our people truly deserve. America’s future will be BIGGER, BETTER, BOLDER, BRIGHTER, HAPPIER, STRONGER, FREER, GREATER, and MORE UNITED than EVER BEFORE!
To all of the forgotten men and women who have been neglected, abandoned, and left behind, you will be forgotten no longer. We will press forward, and together, we will WIN, WIN, WIN! Nothing will sway us. Nothing will slow us, and no one will stop us. No matter what dangers come our way, no matter what obstacles lie in our path, we will keep striving toward our shared and glorious destiny—and WE WILL NOT FAIL!
Just like our ancestors, we must now come together, rise above past differences and disagreements, and go forward united, as one people, and one nation, pledging allegiance to one great and beautiful American flag. 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!
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. It is a story of love, sacrifice, success, and unmatched devotion!
We are Americans. Ambition is our heritage. Greatness is our birthright!
We live in a world of miracles. 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. The attacker in Pennsylvania wanted to stop our movement—but the truth is, this movement has never been about me, it has always been about YOU. It has always been about the hardworking, patriotic citizens of America!
Together, we will restore VISION, STRENGTH, COMPETENCE, and COMMON SENSE to the Oval Office!
Together, we will lead America to new heights of greatness like the world has never seen before. Under our leadership, the United States will be RESPECTED again. No nation will question our power. No enemy will doubt our might. Our borders will be totally SECURE. Our economy will soar. We will return LAW and ORDER to our streets, PATRIOTISM to our schools, and importantly, we will restore peace, stability, and harmony all throughout the world!
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. I am running to be president for ALL of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.
Four months from now, we will have an incredible victory, and we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our Country. Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
