In the past, the president has called for “long-term prison sentences” for election “cheaters” and made unfounded claims about widespread voter fraud.

At the unusual two-day gathering, Trump led the Republican National Convention crowd in a repeat-after-me pledge to “the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can’t even breathe.”<\/p>\n
