A conciliatory Donald Trump promised his loyalty to all Americans, and offered an olive branch to his opponents, in a speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday.
Regardless of party, age, or ethnicity, “I extend to you a hand of loyalty and of friendship,” the Republican presidential nominee said, laying out his “vision for the nation”:
“To ever citizen, whether you are a young or old man or woman, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, Black or White, Asian or Hispanic, I extend to you a hand of loyalty and of friendship.
“Together, we will lead America to new heights of greatness the world has never seen before.”
“The discord and division in our society must be healed.
We must heal it quickly” because “As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny,” Trump said.
“We rise together, or we fall apart,” Trump said in a sentiment redolent of that voiced by Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, where he proclaimed that
“We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
“I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America,” Trump pledged.
