From red, white and blue outfits to Trump poetry, conservatives here at the RNC are proudly expressing themselves in more ways than one.
Take for instance, Gregory Woodman. He and his co-author describe Donald Trump as “the greatest poet of our generation.” Their book features what they believe are his most notable tweets
Woodman: And I’ll give you what it looks like. Robert Pattinson should of not of taken back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog and will do it again. Just watch. He can do much better.
Many convention attendees and delegates proudly display their allegiance through their personal style. Like a Build-the-Wall suit … or coordinated outfits.
Myrex: Our team decided that we are gonna match every night. So we decided to make it for Trump so we’re all Trump.
Trump supporters are now gearing up for his speech on the final night of the convention. And they say they’re especially grateful for the former president’s return after an attempted assassination on Saturday.
Marnell: That shadow’s there but donald trump is still with us, energy is fantastic, its been getting higher every day
