No Sarah Palin?
It’s been a week since Donald Trump said he would announce his list of speakers for the Republican National Convention.
It’s an eclectic list of Trump friends, celebrities and relatives.
The convention’s theme, “Make America Great Again,” will focus on the core themes of Trump’s campaign: national security, immigration, trade and jobs. According to a press release from the RNC, a final list of speakers and information on convention themes will follow.
