President Donald Trump delivered a Republican Convention acceptance speech that was a 70-minute marathon of attack lines against Democrats, superlative trumpeting of his own accomplishments and dire warnings that “no one will be safe in Joe Biden’s America.” More notable than the address itself was where it was delivered: on the South Lawn of the White House. Most relevant to the moment Thursday night in primetime was what Trump said about the twin crises facing the country. He claimed credit for an effective response to the coronavirus crisis and as the law-and-order candidate who could tame racial unrest. The 1,500 supporters gathered on the lawn were not socially distanced nor were many wearing masks, reflecting the way that Trump has downplayed protective guidelines in a pandemic that has claimed more than 180,000 lives. And just outside the White House gates were racial justice protesters, their chants heard by reporters covering the president’s remarks.
