Democrats React to Trump’s RNC Speech: A Cautionary Sigh of Relief

As Donald Trump took the stage at the Republican national convention, he delivered a speech filled with insults and lies that left Democrats both dismayed and hopeful. Despite starting off on a seemingly positive note, Trump quickly reverted to his usual divisive rhetoric, spewing falsehoods and demonizing immigrants while receiving adulation from his Maga crowd.

Throughout his speech, Trump made at least 22 bold-faced lies, including claiming that “107%” of jobs created under Biden were taken by “illegal aliens,” a statement that is completely false. His undisciplined address not only shattered the illusion of a new, more humane Trump but also served as a stark reminder of why he is fundamentally unpopular with the majority of Americans. This pattern of narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy, as it undermines the truth and erodes trust in our political institutions (source: [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/19/democrats-reaction-trump-rnc-speech)).
