DONALD Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday evening, with an unusually vehement appeal to Americans who feel that their country is spiralling out of control and yearn for a leader who will take aggressive - even extreme - actions to protect them.
The 70-year-old New York real estate developer and reality television star who leveraged his fame and forceful persona to become the rare political outsider to lead the ticket of a major party, drew exuberant cheers from Republican convention delegates as he strode onto the stage of the Quicken Loans Arena and delivered a speech as fiery as his candidacy.
