Before Melania Trump gave a speech in Cleveland at the RNC, Trump made a brief appearance to introduce her and walked onstage to Queen’s 1977 hit song.

Donald Trump brought momentum back to his campaign on Tuesday, clinching the nomination for president at the Republican National Convention after a day dominated by lingering questions about Melania Trump’s speech.
In a campaign marked by insults and inflammatory rhetoric, Trump tapped into a deep vein of unhappiness running through white Middle America, giving voice to millions who felt left behind in the rush to globalization and who eschewed traditional establishment Republicans like Bush in favor of a brash political outsider who promised to “Make America Great Again”. Roksanda’s pieces have been worn by Kate Middleton, Emma Stone, and Olivia Wilde.
From New York, Donald Trump thanked Republican delegates for nominating him at the convention in Cleveland.
According to Net-a-porter, Melania chose the stunner without the help of a stylist. “What’s most interesting to me is two-thirds of the delegates from California have never been to a convention before”. “We may be small in number but our votes matter”, said Kristie Babcock, a Trump delegate from Alaska who wanted votes for other candidates to also count.
“That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son”, Melania Trump said. To these state party activists, the rules represent something else: the mechanism that balances power in selecting the nominee between the grassroots and the Washington Republican elite.
“On Tuesday, a last effort to displace Donald Trump failed and he was chosen as the GOP’s official presidential candidate”. “AMERICA FIRST!” Trump tweeted.
“We didn’t disqualify Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States, the facts of her life and career disqualifies her, ” Christie said.
Donald Trump faces an embarrassing plagiarism scandal that tarnished his wife Melania’s prime-time speech to a Republican national convention roiled by an opening day rank-and-file revolt.
Mrs Clinton is due to be formally nominated at a Democratic convention next week in Philadelphia.
Trump supporters: As Donald Trump is always eager to say, he received the most primary votes of any Republican candidate in history. And that’s what Alaska announced when its turn came on the Republican National Convention floor.
“It is my honor to throw Donald Trump over the top tonight”, said Trump Jr., flanked by his siblings.
For Republicans, it may well be the moment most talked about from Tuesday. “If he is not willing to respect our votes, we should not respect this nomination”.
In order to maintain peace and security in the city, Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt Jennifer Ciaccia said “dispersal orders” were likely being issued downtown.
And that nominee – with the “presumptive” label no longer attached – is the NY billionaire, reality television star and anti-politician Donald Trump.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, meanwhile, who has acknowledged his disappointment that Trump passed him over for vice president but could end up in a Trump administration, also speaks Tuesday.
