    Trump to speak on first day of GOP convention

    Excerpt:

    CLEVELAND — Donald Trump will appear on the Republican National Convention stage for the first time Monday to introduce his wife, Melania, days before he is officially due to address delegates gathered here.

    Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, told reporters Monday that the pair would be flying into Cleveland for her prime-time address, and Trump will be speaking publicly.

    Manafort added that Trump will “officially” arrive in Cleveland for the convention on Wednesday, one day before he is expected to accept the GOP presidential nomination.

    Manafort described the overall goal of the convention will be to present a more nuanced picture of Trump. He argued that Trump, while a well-known public figure and reality television star, was not known in a political context, making the convention an opportunity to flesh out that portrait.

    “The biography of the man, while he is known from a topical standpoint, really is not very well-known,” he said. “The overall convention will be to present Mr. Trump, not just as a political figure running for office, but as the father, the businessman, as the compassionate human being that he is when the spotlight isn’t on.”
