Half of the RNC's "Key Speakers" are Trumps. Twitter Explodes.

Half of the 12 “key speakers” planned for the Republican National Convention will be Trumps, Fox News revealed Saturday.

Twitter critics went bonkers.

Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Melania, Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany Trump were all listed as main speakers at the big event that begins Monday, other media reported as well ― though the schedule was still being finalized over the weekend.

In addition to the family ranks will be Vice President Mike Pence, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.

Ironically, McCarthy earlier this year blasted Joe Biden for nepotism because son Hunter Biden worked for a Ukrainian energy company when Biden was vice president. But everything he ranted about could be applied to each of Trump’s adult children.

It was Tiffany Trump who was trending on Twitter because critics were particularly stunned that a 26-year-old law school grad beat out far heavier political hitters (and celebrities) simply because she’s the president’s daughter. She’s pretty much a no-show at Trump events — except to visit the queen and possibly be a headliner at the RNC.

Twitter scribes couldn’t get over it.

Dear Donald,

SAD!

Reports Trump was watching the DNC religiously personally making calls for adjustments. A good drinking game for tonight will be for how many things directly lifted from the DNC.

They're saying Trump watched every minute of the DNC, personally getting on the phone to make RNC adjustments. RNC folks have been frantically re-shooting some stuff and have even lifted the DNC style roll call.

It's going to be such an angry shit show of dumping on Bidens, son, calling Biden old (pot meet kettle) and the "Democrats" are responsible for all the riots and looting. Antifa and other conspiracy theories. He has cured Corona and HIV. Token blacks and gays. Hyperbolic nasty Trump Jr will be the meanest prick on the stage fallowed by lets all all eat cake Ivanka. "D" List celebs like Rush Limbaugh, Scott Baio and washed up Roseanne Barr and jack asses like Ted Nugent. And flags, flags, flags everywhere.

Theatrics and surprises like ICE arresting and deporting undocumented workers at the same time. Or protesters being abducted off the streets with more of his secret police.

How embarrassing for him and the GOP.

They can't get anyone of any reputation to speak. R8 perfectly describes what it's going to be like.

Any "token gay" that takes part should be shot.

by Anonymousreply 9August 24, 2020 10:08 AM

I hope people outside the White House are banging and clanging and making as much noise while Trump speaks.

by Anonymousreply 10August 24, 2020 10:24 AM

To be fair, this is the kind of lineup the Cult of Trump probably wants to see.

His supporters aren't "real" conservatives, so why would they want to see "real" GOP leaders speak anyway?

I'm not at all surprised - it must be incredibly difficult to get anyone to speak at this shit-show.

What I suspect too is that each of the Trumps will be paid a sizeable speaking fee that will be taken from campaign funds - they never miss an opportunity to grift.

Personally I can't wait for Melania's and Ivanka's speeches, I bet they will be very entertaining (for all the wrong reasons) even though they will have been scripted by other people. Just watching them attempt to be sincere will be hilarious. I would love Melania to go off-script and announce she's divorcing Donald, but I think she's going to wait until after he loses the election so she doesn't forfeit her fee. She clearly hates him but she loves money more.

Spot on and well caught R23. They will earn millions from this if they can. They already know he isn't getting reelected and their grifting gravy train is about to come to an end...

All his children will speak but not Barron? Wouldn't that tug at the heartstrings? Or maybe he'll stand next to his mother when she gives her speech. It's odd that he wouldn't want his youngest child to be seen at some point during the convention - you know, to bring out his 'humanity.'

What is Nikki Haley getting out of this? She would be wise to back away from the shitshow that was her time with Trump and try to pick up the pieces of her reputation. She was in good shape when she left the governorship of South Carolina. Her star was rising...

PLEASE let Rudy G take the stage and speak at some point in this shitshow. Also, Ben Carson. It would be great if they could follow each other - hyper Rudy and coma-inducing Ben - a perfect tag team. And where are Mitch and Lindsey in the lineup?

Political conventions were historically great places to get laid; everyone is feeling high and powerful, the testosterone is palpable. I can't imagine staying awake for this one.

I am surprised they just didn't have the Fox News entertainment personalities speak. I fully expected Hannity, Dobbs, Carlson, and Ingraham.
