[applause] To my fellow moms and dads across America—I think we all know that raising a family is hard. Add in smartphones and social media, and we already have plenty to worry about.

Today is a celebration. The American spirit is alive and well. And we have once again nominated for president the founding father of the America First movement, Donald John Trump.
