Column: Trump’s speech was a dud. What does that mean for his campaign?
LA TimesFormer President Trump delivers his nomination acceptance speech on the final night of the Republican National Convention. The Republican National Convention then sagged to a finish with a rambling, disjointed, 92-minute slog of a speech that followed an evening of testimonials — about Trump’s record in office, his golf game, his taste in music, his dance moves, and a great many other Trumpian triumphs. Trump has settled on the “state’s rights” response, but also appointed the conservative Supreme Court justices who undid Roe vs. Wade. Several who’ve brushed up against Trump — business associates, people who manage his properties, one of his army of attorneys, a golf pro at a Palm Beach resort — took the stage to deliver assorted testimonials that were utterly fatuous when they didn’t fall flat. John Nieporte, the head pro at Trump’s West Palm Beach, Fla., golf club, raved about him as a “great boss and helluva golfer,” exalting Trump’s game from tee shot to the putting green.
