Ex-US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that he is seeking to save democracy, Paralel.Az reports citing TASS.

At the convention, Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president.

"I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country," he pointed out. "We must not criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement," Trump noted, adding: "If Democrats want to unify our country, they should drop these partisan witch hunts, which I’ve been going through for approximately eight years."
