At the Republican convention, everything revolves around Donald Trump. He is the undisputed star in Milwaukee. His fans celebrate him like a saint. Impressions from the grassroots.
Donald Trump is omnipresent. At the Republican convention in Milwaukee, his name is emblazoned in red letters on caps and cupcakes. His face adorns meter-high billboards. And the iconic photo of his clenched fist has already become a best-selling T-shirt in fan merchandise shops.
The Republican National Convention is taking place at a dramatic time. Just last weekend, the former president narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a campaign event. The images of Trump – with a bloodied face and his fist raised in the air, just seconds after a bullet grazed his ear – have fired up the Republican base.
