Here are the top quotes from his speech:
“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, colour, and creed.”“As you already know, the assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life. So many people have asked me what happened, and therefore, I’ll tell you what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s too painful to tell.”“I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America.”“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. Everything I have to give, with all of the energy and fight in my heart and soul, I pledge to our nation tonight.””This election should be about the issues facing our country and how to make America successful, safe, free, and great again,” Trump said of the November 5 election.“In an age when our politics too often divide us, now is the time to remember that we are all fellow citizens—we are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. On this journey, I am deeply honoured to be joined by my amazing wife, Melania. Thank you, Melania, and thank you also for your beautiful letter to America calling for national unity. It captivated so many.”“I stand before you this evening with a message of confidence, strength, and hope. Tonight, I ask for your partnership, for your support, and I am humbly asking for your vote. Every day, I will strive to honour the trust you have placed in me, and I will never let you down.”“There was peace in Europe and the Middle East. Under President Bush, Russia invaded Georgia. Under President Obama, Russia took Crimea. Under the current administration, Russia is after all of Ukraine. Under President Trump, Russia took nothing. We defeated 100 per cent of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, something that was going to take five years, and I did it in two months. I stopped the missile launches from North Korea.”“And to the entire world, we want our hostages back—and they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price. With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness and chaos will be over.”“America is on the cusp of a new Golden Age, but we must have the courage to seize it.” ‘I Am Running to Be President for All of America:’ Donald Trump at RNC | Top 10 Quotes world-news World News | Latest International Global World News | Todays Breaking News Headlines
