7:50 PM: Trump says Biden wants a “blanket shut down” that will cause all sorts of problems like drug overdoses and decimate the economy. He says the Biden agenda with big tax increases and more regulations will “kill everything” and go into a depression the likes of which the country hasn’t seen since the 1920s and “maybe even worse.”
7:46 PM: Trump says he wants football back. He tells the B1G to open up their season. He claims they are young people and won’t be impacted. He says Democrats want to blame him for shutting down football, and they are playing a “big con game.” He says Democrats don’t want football back for “political reasons.”
7:45 PM: Trump says Biden called him “xenophobic” and “racist” for his China ban. He says Democrats always want to use the “racist” word. He says if we listened to Joe, hundreds of thousands of more Americans would have died. Trump says America is now producing ventilators for the rest of the world.
7:39 PM: Trump wonders how Biden is going to win Texas when he is against oil, guns, and God. He now rips Biden for praising China’s rise in the world while opposing the mission to take out bin Laden and the killing of Soleimani while overseeing the rise of ISIS. Trump says if you love China, you should vote for Biden.
Trump asks: “Where’s Hunter?” Trump thinks he’s in another country ripping off another country.
7:38 PM: Trump rips Biden for being on the wrong side of history his whole career and other “Biden disasters” like supporting NAFTA and China’s entry into the WTO.

7:33 PM: Trump claims Mexico is paying for the wall and they don’t know it.
7:31 PM: Trump rails against critics who said his speech was too long last night. Trump says Chris Wallace said he didn’t have the “same energy.” Crowd boos. Trump says he’s in New Hampshire tonight and he can “wing it.” He says Wallace has always wanted to be his father but never had the talent.
7:29 PM: Trump says he has delivered for the African-American community while Biden has betrayed the African-American community for four decades. He, like he did last night, says Biden’s agenda is “made in China” while his is “made in America.”
7:28 PM: Trump rips the radical left’s effort to divide everyone by race. He blames CNN, MSDNC… He says “they stoke the flame” and are “tearing us apart.” He says their ratings aren’t great.
7:17 PM: Trump says if Biden gets in the White House, China would “own” the United States. He says if Democrats want to stand with rioters and flag-burners, that’s up to them. He asks the crowd if anyone enjoys watching rioters burning the American flag. He says the GOP will be the party of patriotic heroes and law enforcement officials who keep America safe. Trump says you must vote for him if you want to save democracy from the mob. He calls Biden the worst candidate ever put by the Democrats.
7:15 PM: Trump says if Biden wins, he will have lost to a “low-IQ individual.” He says if that happens, the radical agitators will take over government and nobody will be safe in Biden’s America. He says he can’t call it Biden’s America because Biden “doesn’t even know he’s alive.”
7:10 PM: Trump says today’s Democrats are “filled with hate.” Trump says just look at Biden’s unhinged supporters yelling like lunatics in the streets. Trump says he says, “you know what I say? Protesters, your ass. I don’t talk about my ass. They are not protesters….” Trump says they are anarchists, agitators, rioters, looters who don’t even know how George Floyd is.
7:09 PM: Trump says Biden’s “masters” tell him what to do and they want to erase borders, tear down our history, demolish the suburbs, and take away your guns.
7:08 PM: Trump says we’ll have an “unbelievable next year” unless “somebody stupid gets elected and raises your taxes.”
7:06 PM: After mocking “idiot” reporters calling the protests “friendly” while cities are burning behind them, Trump says he is going to win New Hampshire and then four more years. Trump talks about securing borders, bringing back manufacturing jobs, and rebuilding the military under his first term while wiping out ISIS.
7:00 PM: Trump rips the “thugs” outside of the RNC last night and rips DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. He says his supporters walked out “to a bunch of thugs.” Trump says they weren’t friendly protesters. He says the mayor gave bad instructions last night and that should have never happened. He says thank God the DC police protected Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). Trump says Paul was in big trouble last night, and he adds that the four police officers who protected Paul should be brought over to the White House for a medal. He says the mayor should be “ashamed” and this is what happens all over the place when Democrats run cities. Trump says we’re not supposed to go in unless we’re invited in or call it an “insurrection,” but “that’s a big statement.” Trump says he is going to “look at it” because people who go to the White House to celebrate the country shouldn’t have to deal with the “thugs.” Trump says Biden is “weak as hell” and didn’t even bring “law and order up as a subject of discussion” during the entire DNC.
6:58 PM: Trump says Biden is coming out of the basement because the poll numbers have swung. “A rapid swing,” Trump says. Trump talks about staying out of endless wars and bringing troops home from endless wars. Trump says the convention was “quality television” with compelling content. He says Herschel Walker’s endorsement was from the heart.
6:55 PM: Trump says he has some good 2016 memories in Manchester, but 2020 is the most important election in history. He says it was his great honor to accept to Republican nomination for president last night. Trump says last night drove the fake news crazy and asks does anyone have any doubt that he will win. He says the “poll numbers have swung.”
“We’re gonna win,” Trump says. “Does anyone have any doubt?”
