The second day at the party convention: Donald Trump’s former Republican rivals made a pilgrimage to Milwaukee to apologize. Trump likes this and the rest of the party goes back into attack mode.
Donald Trump likes it when people look up to him. Especially when they are people who once rejected him. In this regard, Tuesday at the Republican party convention in Milwaukee must have been very nice for the former president. A whole crowd of former critics came out that evening to pay their respects.
And Trump came extra early so he wouldn’t miss anything. With a big bandage on his ear. He was the target of an attempted attack last Saturday; a shot from the 20-year-old assassin hit his ear. Although observers joked on Monday, after Trump’s first public appearance in Milwaukee, that the conspicuous white sidewalk would soon become a standard prop for “Make America Great Again” fans, they were confirmed on Tuesday. At the Fiserv Forum, the city’s major exhibition center, some Trump supporters proudly displayed white stickers on their ears.

Political atonement
Because of the attack on his life Trump announced “unity” as a new theme for the Republican convention. On Tuesday you got an idea of what he meant by that. Nobody here talks about cross-party integration. But very much about those Republican politicians who once fiercely disputed with Trump. On Tuesday they all stood on stage to make a political atonement, so to speak.
