She talked about democracy, supporting allies, lifting up the middle class, the economy, reproductive rights and much more. She also touched on the formation of the United States saying. “we wrested freedom from a petty tyrant.” She talked about wars, sacrifice, civil rights struggles and the way that Americans have fought to preserve liberty. “They did not struggle, sacrifice and lay down their lives, only to see us cede our fundamental freedoms, only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant.” Trump appeared at a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania where he reiterated many of the negative messages of his campaign.

Trump also promised voters that America would have a shield or dome over the country for protection. We’ll talk politics with presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann.
