The 2024 Republican National Convention has officially wrapped with the certification of convicted felon Donald Trump as the Party’s presidential nominee.

Trump’s closing speech was notable for its interminable 90 minute length (the longest ever), it’s abundance of lies<\/a><\/strong>, its overt bigotry, and it’s extraordinary sedative effect.
