Trump’s speech was just over an hour and a half and possibly the longest presidential nomination acceptance speech ever. Trump became the first Republican to receive three consecutive presidential nominations. Only Republican President Richard Nixon previously received three presidential nominations: 1960, 1968 and 1972.
His speech had 3 main parts: the assassination attempt, a call for national unity and his vision for his second term as President.
You can watch the speech in its entirety below. I’ll insert some highlight moments here.

What Happened at Saturday’s Rally
Trump said, “I’m not supposed to be here today. I stand before you in this arena only by the Almighty Grace of God.”
Collin Rugg reports, “Donald Trump tells the story about how he almost lost his life on Saturday, says he will never tell the story again because it’s too painful. You are witnessing history. Less than a week ago, this man was a quarter inch from death. Today, he is giving the most impactful speech of his career. This is a new man.”

Trump Calls For Unity
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Just like our ancestors, we must now come together, rise above past differences and disagreements, and go forward UNITED — as one people and one nation, pledging allegiance to one great and beautiful American flag.
To the Forgotten Americans
PRESIDENT TRUMP: To all of the forgotten men and women who have been neglected, abandoned, and left behind — you will be forgotten NO LONGER.
“Every Moment is a gift from God”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: But if the events of last Saturday make anything clear, it is that every single moment we have on earth is a gift from God. We have to make the most of every day for the people and country we love.
Trump’s Chart on Illegal Immigration Saved His Life
Less than four years ago, I handed this administration the strongest border in American history. You can see that on the chart that saved my life. We ended all catch-and-release. Shut down asylum fraud. Stopped human trafficking, and forged historic agreements to keep illegal aliens on foreign soil. Under the Trump Administration, if you came in illegally, you were apprehended immediately and deported. — President Donald J. Trump
On Dangerous Illegal Aliens
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Countless Americans have been assaulted and killed by illegals released into the country by the current administration. Tonight, America, this is my vow — I will NOT let these killers and criminals into our country. I will keep our sons and daughters safe as we bring security to our streets and stability to our world.
