What Went Down During President Trump’s Closing Speech At The RNC

Drink when you hear “American exceptionalism” tonight.

That’s a good point, Amelia. But as we discussed last week, we know that many of these videos are designed for social media first and foremost, so I think even if those people aren’t watching tonight, they could still see it at some point, which could make them effective ads in some capacity.

Clare, I was surprised by that too. In perhaps a similar vein, I am also somewhat surprised at the talk of Trump being anti-war. It’s not a super salient issue right now, and as I pointed out in 2017, these promises were just as hard for Trump to stick to as they have been for past presidents.
