Donald Trump will receive official Republican blessing to run for president next week, becoming the first convicted felon to run for either of America’s two major parties.
The 78-year-old billionaire will be the star of the show when Milwaukee rolls out the red carpet for the Republican National Convention (RNC), transforming the Wisconsin city into a fortress that can welcome 50,000 visitors.
Despite being convicted of 34 campaign finance crimes over the course of a year and facing a fortune in fines for fraud and sexual assault cases, convention-goers will find Trump in high spirits while his opponent struggles.
