Trump, whose takeover of the Republican Party was formalized Tuesday night, has appeared at the convention every day thus far.

Cruz, once Trump’s Republican rival, has “plans to present a vision for the party’s future that bears little resemblance to Mr. Trump’s, with a likely focus on conservative orthodoxy and constitutional principle”, The New York Times reports.

After complimenting his “wife’s” delivery for being “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”, Fallon Trump went on to pat himself on the back for getting actors like Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr. to speak on his behalf.

It took two days, but Donald Trump’s presidential campaign on Wednesday acknowledged cribbing from First Lady Michelle Obama’s speech – unintentionally, the campaign said – when writing Melania Trump’s own speech.

The billionaire has survived, even prospered through, a series of contentious episodes that might have consumed a conventional politician – or a conventional convention.
