In his speech Donald Trump mentioned his good friend Hannibal Lecter (???) and that his "good friend" Kim Il Yong missed him.

There was some pretty wacky stuff in his talk which went on for a very long time. Some went out and had a bite to eat and came back and he was still talking.

Notable attendees included Russell Brand who has endorsed him and Hulk Hogan who got a big cheer. The MAGA Mob of course adored it but were pretty quiet.

In a box Rupert Murdoch watched. Is he about to endorse Donald after spending so long trying to convince him not to run?

Rupert only goes with those he sees as winners as in the (ghastly) Keir Starmer (unlike heir Lachlan who is a solid conservative). Political leanings don't matter. Rupert would back Hannibal Lecter if it suited.
