Donald Trump rips Joe Biden as a threat to the American Dream and other takeaways from the RNC's final night

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump vowed Thursday to rebuild the pandemic-battered economy, confront China, hire more police officers and crack down on border security as he accepted his party's nomination for a second term.

Capping off the four-day convention that nominated him and Vice President Mike Pence on the Nov. 3 ballot, the president devoted much of his speech to attacking his rival Joe Biden, calling him a "destroyer" of jobs who has nothing to offer laid-off workers but "hollow words of empathy."

While he spoke, a mostly maskless audience of hundreds – staffers, family members and allies – who gathered on the South Lawn of the White House cheered him on, occasionally serenading him with a chant of "Four More Years." 

"At no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies, or two agendas," Trump said. "This election will decide whether we save the American Dream, or whether we allow a socialist agenda to demolish our cherished destiny."
