The much-anticipated night has finally arrived—it’s the moment for Donald Trump to accept the Republican nomination. This is being heralded as an unprecedentedly crucial speech, expected to run about 45 minutes. I’ve been wrong about this before, but I can’t shake this feeling about tonight.
The theme for the evening is “Unite America Again,” which suggests a focus on bringing people together. This is a man who’s all about highlighting the things that bond us, like traditional values, certain religious beliefs, and specific demographics. It looks like we’re in for a rather exclusive version of unity. And the catering—let’s just say it won’t be winning any culinary awards.
Let’s dive into the lineup of speakers.
Sheriff Bob Martinez
“I’m here to secure Hispanic votes and enforce the law, and trust me, there’s not much left to enforce.”
[Meanwhile, a bewildered Congressional leader stares blankly at a drink.]
Reba Thompson, Chair, Republican National Committee
“Thank you for gathering here. Tonight, I’ve chewed my gum to speak clearly. To some, America is just another nation. But we Republicans know it’s extraordinary and deserves our utmost respect.
Democrats believe they’re the answer to everything. However, we are the party of open doors—[Crowd chants: “BUILD THAT WALL!”]—not just yet, everyone! We advocate for quality education, individual freedom, and the pursuit of the American dream.”
[The Congressional leader reaches for a stress ball.]
Eli Grant, Co-founder of Tech Innovations
“Hi there! I’m thrilled to be present. Before I share my revelation of being openly gay, let me give you a brief background. My family began their journey right here in Cleveland.”
[Audience member whispers: “Does that mean we’re all gay?” Another replies: “Quiet down, Jerry.”]
“I’m proud to be gay, a Republican, and an American.”
[The crowd erupts in applause. Jerry from Ohio mutters, “Does he know we don’t support that?”]
Tom Barrett, CEO, Global Enterprises
“Here are five reasons to support Donald Trump:
1. He’s never late.
2. He connects with the confused.
3. He breaks barriers.
4. He has a fierce determination that’s almost animalistic.
5. He once chartered a helicopter for my son and me to watch a boxing match, and he remembered my son’s name. Quite the impressive guy.”
[The Congressional leader whispers, “I need something stronger.”]
Isabelle Trump
“I’m here to speak about my dad, but I won’t share personal anecdotes because, well, you just heard enough of that from Tom.
When the primaries got tough, my father did what a real leader does—he crafted nicknames for his competitors and made outrageous claims.
My dad will champion women’s issues, ensuring affordable childcare and equal pay. I’ll be right there beside him, or else he might sign his ‘Fines for Fatties’ legislation before we even get to discuss other matters. Oh, and here’s my favorite catchphrase: motherhood—not gender—is the reason for the wage gap. Get it?
When he promises to build a tower, he delivers. So when he says he’s going to make America great again, it’s bound to happen.”
[The Congressional leader fidgets with his tie.]
Donald J. Trump
“Friends, delegates, and fellow Americans, I gratefully accept your nomination for President.”
[Thunder rumbles outside the arena, and a strange scent fills the air.]
“Who would have imagined we’d receive so much support? We will restore safety, prosperity, and a sense of peace. A nation filled with warmth and generosity (I’ll need to find a synonym for ‘warmth’). But also, we’ll prioritize law and order. The violence plaguing our nation will soon be addressed.
We cannot remain politically correct any longer.”
[The audience cheers.]
“Every day, innocent lives are lost. The crime rate has surged since the previous administration began. Why? Because we are allowing illegal immigrants into our communities.
We’ve been embarrassed on the global stage—remember our sailors humiliated by foreign forces? Let me, Donald Trump, be the solution to that humiliation.
Hillary Clinton’s decisions have led to chaos and terrorism—she is weak.
My plan prioritizes safety. I’m committed to supporting our law enforcement and restoring order. I am the candidate of law and order!”
[Audience chants: “Law and order!”]
“We will swiftly defeat ISIS and ensure that all Americans, including our LGBTQ citizens, are safe from foreign threats.
Illegal immigrants are harming our children, and we’re going to construct a wall to protect them.
Hillary wants to let everyone in without restrictions. They will take over your jobs, your homes, and your schools.
I plan to renegotiate trade agreements, lower taxes, and give you the freedom to choose your healthcare provider and your child’s education.”
[The Congressional leader appears overwhelmed.]
“Thank you to my family, my staff, and my supporters. I also appreciate the evangelicals, though I’m not sure I fully deserve their support.”
[The Congressional leader starts to drift off.]
“Let me share a story about my mother…”
[The audience’s eyes glaze over.]
“Goodnight, and God bless!”
[We’ve survived all four nights! The Democratic National Convention is next. Hold onto your tote bags—it’s going to be quite the ride.]
