and his family will take up half of the keynote speaker spotsDonald Trump will speak on all four nights of next week's Republican National Convention, breaking with the longstanding tradition limiting the party's presidential candidate to one big acceptance speech on the last night of the event, The New York Times reported.
Trump will speak at the RNC's first-ever virtual event every night in a prime-time 10pm slot, reported the Times. The party plans are being coordinated by two former Apprentice producers who hope to eclipse the DNC's first virtual convention last week. Trump was the show's host for the first fourteen seasons, and the show's popularity gave him a national profile and contributed to his rise to the presidency.
According to Politico, Trump believes that last week's DNC event was too "gloomy," and wants a more upbeat tone for the GOP conference.
Some of the conference events, reportedly including the president's acceptance speech, will be hosted at the White House, which is not traditionally used by presidents for campaign events. It's a move that has been denounced by critics as unethical.

So they plan to suck all they air out of the room. More likely not that many want to be associated with Trump so he had to get his family to fill the slots.

That kind of upbeat tone?

I want to watch the fail, but can't take much of him at all. of COURSE he has to be in the limelight during 4 primetimes, though. let someone else get attention, even if it might actuall help his campaign?
