Let’s be clear here. trump can’t give an uplifting speech if his life depended on it. Also if one constantly has to remind people they are a “patriot” then they really aren’t. Because if people believed one was a “patriot” they wouldn’t need gimmicks to remind them. And yes by all means let’s get another speech from Melania, the first one went over so well.

“Gettysburg? The Liberty Bell? Trump Weighs R.N.C. Speech Options”
From the article..
”WASHINGTON — A presidential address in front of the Gettysburg battlefield, or at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. A speech from the first lady, Melania Trump, at Seneca Falls, N.Y., the cradle of the national movement for women’s rights. Perhaps a stage for the warm-up acts built at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
These are some of the scenarios that have been under discussion among President Trump and his top aides as they hold out hope for an ambitious, Trumpian display over four nights of Republican National Convention programming.
Despite the surging coronavirus pandemic, which forced Mr. Trump to cancel the convention in Jacksonville, Fla., after moving it from its original location in Charlotte, N.C., he and his advisers are counting on some form of the spectacle to serve as a boost to the flagging incumbent as he heads into the final stretch of the campaign.
Mr. Trump has said he plans to travel to Charlotte to thank delegates who are still planning to gather there for meetings and the official roll call, despite the state’s social distancing requirements.
But his advisers have been thinking bigger, according to six people involved in the efforts, looking for ways to re-create what they view as the president’s most successful speech since the virus halted regular events: his address in front of Mount Rushmore over the July 4 weekend, when Mr. Trump described his effort to win a second term as a battle against a “new far-left fascism” seeking to wipe out the nation’s values and history.“

But Mr. Trump’s advisers are still pushing for some version of the show to go on, and searching for historical locations that they want to reinforce the messages of the various convention speakers.
The idea of having Ms. Trump speak from Seneca Falls, the site of the 1848 Seneca Falls women’s rights convention — a move that advisers thought could offer the president a boost as he tried to win back women in the suburbs — was briefly considered. But it was deemed to be too difficult to pull off in a short time frame. A spokeswoman for Ms. Trump did not respond to a request for comment about her convention plans.
&
A White House official said the president was leaning toward a series of speeches that could be held outdoors in different places, and a stage that would serve as the main hub of activity all week in Washington. It is also not yet clear if any of the ambitious plans will come to fruition for a convention set to start on Aug. 24.” Me: A series of speeches??? From trump??
&
”Conventions have gone the way of the dinosaur,” said Brian Ballard, the top Republican lobbyist in Florida and a major party donor, who was one of the key fund-raisers for the convention when it was set for Jacksonville. “But the acceptance speech matters more than anything else. I hope they find an iconic location. It will be unique, and make history.” Me: Trust me, it will history alright, but not the kind this guy was thinking.
