By refusing to endorse him, Trump said Friday, Cruz “may have ruined his political career”.

Hours after accepting the presidential nomination, Trump spent much of a victory lap ripping Cruz and revisiting their primary battles over pictures of Cruz’s wife and reviving accusations that Cruz’s father was involved in the JFK assassination.
Trump had his biggest stage on Thursday night, when he officially accepted the party’s nomination, to spell out his vision of where he would take the Republican Party if he won the presidency. And he says he’ll never sign a trade agreement that hurts workers or diminishes freedom.
“As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect”. Trump offered “just more prejudice and paranoia” rather than solutions, Podesta said, adding that “America is better than this”.
He said the Utah GOP will unite around Trump to prevent the Democrat’s presumptive nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, from winning the White House.
Overseas U.S. allies as well as voters at home will be closely watching his Thursday night address, which comes the day after his suggestion that he might not defend America’s North Atlantic Treaty Organisation partners as president. Trump paused as the woman was escorted off the convention floor before resuming his remarks.
The GOP presidential nominee paused for almost a minute while waiting for police to remove her.
“Hillary Clinton’s legacy does not have to be America’s legacy”, Trump will say.
“We must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place”, he said.
This week’s Republican National Convention has seen drama ranging from the plagiarised speech his wife delivered and the way the campaign prolonged the episode to Ted Cruz’s shocking address on Wednesday in which he refused to endorse Trump and encouraged Americans to vote their conscience, CNN reported.
“Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo”, he said.
New York Republicans relished their spotlight role at the Republican National Convention this week, helping start a revolt against Texas Sen.
Ivanka, Trump’s older daughter and the last of four Trump children to speak at the convention, sought to underscore her father’s personal warmth beneath the public persona.
She praised him as a “fighter” who got better and became stronger through the “tough” primary race in which he was facing 16 other candidates.
“My father is colour blind and gender neutral”.
Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump are walking through the final steps for their speeches on Day 4 – the closing moments of the convention.

“But I don’t want his endorsement. We will honour the American people with truth”. A protester from Code Pink briefly interrupted Trump’s speech Thursday night, unfurling a banner that read “Build bridges, not walls”.
