Typically, day 2 of the convention is where things start to ramp up, but day 1 ALREADY saw the actual nomination vote of Donald J. Trump, the announcement of his running mate, J.D. Vance, and the appearance of an unusually somber, almost SAD looking Trump on the show floor.
We should see speeches from more prominent people starting today, culminating in Trump’s actual acceptance speech to close out festivities on Thursday.

I’m skeptical that he’s even capable of that level of self reflection. He was probably just looking for a cheeseburger or had a full diaper.
Nah, he doesn’t care about that. He cared more about his shoes and to the opportunity to tell the secret service to wait so that he could seize the moment and incite people by chanting “fight” to the entire crowd. He looked somber, because he is old and tired and he has a lot of law suits that he is trying to shake them off with the help of the Supreme Court.
