CHARLOTTE (North Carolina) • President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans opened their national convention by painting a dire portrait of America if Democrat Joe Biden wins the White House in November, arguing he will usher in an era of radical socialism and chaos.

Mr Trump set the tone early in the day when he addressed delegates in Charlotte after formally securing their nomination for another term and claimed without evidence that Democrats were trying to steal the election.

Republicans had vowed to offer an inspiring, positive message in contrast to what they characterised as a dark and gloomy Democratic convention last week. But the first night’s prime-time programme featured speakers who peppered their remarks with ominous predictions if Democrats win power.

“They want to destroy this country and everything that we have fought for and hold dear,” Trump campaign adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle said.

“They want to steal your liberty, your freedom. They want to control what you see, and think, and believe, so they can control how you live.”

The four-day convention opened at a critical juncture for Mr Trump, 74, who trails Mr Biden, 77, in opinion polls, during a pandemic that has killed more than 177,000 Americans and erased millions of jobs.

Democrats drew their own dismal picture of what four more years under Mr Trump would look like at their convention last week.

Like its Democratic counterpart, the Republican convention was largely virtual. Most speakers addressed a quiet auditorium in Washington DC, bowing to the reality of the pandemic despite Mr Trump having pushed for a big event in front of thousands of raucous admirers.

Mr Trump has focused on a “law and order” response to widespread protests following the police killing of Mr George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis, and he has pushed schools and businesses to reopen despite the pandemic. Both messages represent the campaign’s effort to win back suburban voters, especially women, who have abandoned the Republican Party in droves during the Trump era.

Mr Donald Trump Jr, the President’s oldest son and Ms Guilfoyle’s boyfriend, portrayed the ongoing civil unrest as violent assaults on small businesses by anarchists and said Democrats would fail to keep neighbourhoods safe.

The dystopian language echoed that of Mr Trump’s 2017 inaugural speech, when he vowed to end the “American carnage” of crime, poverty and manufacturing decline.

BEWARE DEMOCRATS DESTROYING U.S.

They want to destroy this country and everything that we have fought for and hold dear. They want to steal your liberty, your freedom. They want to control what you see, and think, and believe, so they can control how you live.

MS KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, campaign adviser to President Donald Trump.

It remains to be seen whether voters find the same argument as compelling after Mr Trump has held power for more than three years.

Ms Kate Bedingfield, deputy campaign manager for Mr Biden said: “What you heard tonight was a parade of dark and divisive fear mongering designed to distract from the fact that Donald Trump does not have an affirmative case to make to the American people about why he should be re-elected.”

The Republican convention’s opening night also laid out what promises to be a central theme of the week: that former vice-president Biden and his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, will merely be puppets of radical left-wing activists.

Several speakers accused the moderate Biden of wanting to defund the police and ban fracking, though he has rejected both positions.

Two Republican rising stars – Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the lone black Republican in the Senate, and Ms Nikki Haley, Mr Trump’s former ambassador to the United Nations, who is Indian American – dismissed the idea that Mr Biden and his party would be better stewards of minority voter interests.

“In much of the Democratic Party, it’s now fashionable to say that America is racist,” said Ms Haley, widely seen as a possible future presidential contender.

“That is a lie. America is not a racist country.”
