Donald Trump’s former rivals have boarded the ‘be nice’ bandwagon at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee after the attempt on his life last weekend.

And it’s not just words… Trump’s campaign collected $595 million in donations between April and June, and since the shooting, that figure is growing. Billionaire Elon Musk has turned on the tap this week – he’s pledged $67 million a month to support Trump’s election.
