Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, was full of bluster. But that is what has brought him so much of the way so far. Unsurprisingly yet shockingly, the New York tycoon said things which were politically incorrect, and he knows that. Yet, the marauding Trump preferred to be on the wrong side of what is politically correct by blasting Hillary, repeating his pledge to block illegal immigrants and quash multilateral trade deals.
Ripping into Hillary Clinton like never before, Trump accused the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee of a legacy of “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.” With an eye on November 8 elections, the shrewd Republican has started queering the pitch for the former US Secretary of State. The email controversy triggered by her use of a private email server for top secret official communication rocked the campaign after the Benghazi embassy attack uproar had left her campaign shaken. Though Trump’s campaign hasn’t been controversy free, Hillary’s weak points have been torn into mercilessly by the real estate baron. He was recently reported to be neck and neck with the former US First Lady in poll ratings.
Trump raised a plethora of points in his acceptance speech that wound up the Republican National Convention. He said he wants to put ‘America first.’ It is unclear what he means by that. Anyone occupying the exalted chair of the president of the United States would do that. Would Hillary want to put America second or last?
The question of migration raised by Trump at the beginning of the campaign had taken the world by storm. His take on it remained the same — no America for illegal immigrants. While this is a saner issue, it is juvenile to say it can be handled by building a wall. He, however, has to do some explaining by what he meant by Hillary’s legacy of “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.”
The maverick Republican, as is his wont, presented a dark picture of America by raking up the Islamic State threat, racism related violence, weak infrastructure, and so-called unfair multilateral trade agreements. The businessman in Trump tried to rally the crowds by saying he alone can fix the system as he knows it. Trump is gradually creeping up Hillary’s ratings with his rhetorical approach. That he has grabbed the nomination without a value-based approach is worrying. However, what is of more concern is that he has come up all the way in the election race without a serious approach to vexed issues and his dubious track record.
