“I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination,” started Trump, after being introduced by Ivanka Trump, his daughter and favourite child, according to her siblings. Donald Trump accepted the Republican Party nomination on Thursday, drawing a “grim and dark” picture of a country in crisis and offering himself as the only one who can help. Lustily cheered by his supporters on the floor of the convention and in the stands of a large sporting arena, Trump seemed angrier and louder than before, delivering a familiar message. But he just sounded grim, and his speech was completely bereft of a positive message of hope and optimism that Republican nominees before him have offered the country. “It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation,” Trump said.
