After weeks of speculation and teasers, hints of A-list stars and promises of razzle dazzle, the programme for the Republican National Convention finally arrives on the eve of proceedings. At the last possible moment. And if you were expecting Donald Trump to remake the GOP election-year gathering in his own image, well, you won’t be disappointed. In fact the week’s convention is looking a lot like an episode of a new reality TV show: At Home with the Trumps. Six are among the 20 headline speakers.
On Monday we have his wife and possible future first Lady Melania discussing how to ‘make America safe again’. Until now she has preferred cosy TV chats to stump speeches, managing only a 90-second effort in Milwaukee. Tuesday brings Tiffany (daughter by his second wife Marla Marples) followed by Donald Trump Jr (first child with first wife Ivana).
