May speak

Trump may speak at convention tonight

By Louis Nelson

Donald Trump says he will be at the Republican National Convention Monday night to watch his wife Melania Trump speak and hasn't ruled out delivering remarks of his own.

The presumptive Republican nominee called in to Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” from New York for an interview Monday morning, but said he would fly to Cleveland in time to watch his wife address the convention.

Donald Trump is not officially scheduled to speak until Thursday night and had previously ruled out speaking on all four nights of the convention. But Monday, Trump said he “may speak up” on the convention’s opening night.

“Well, I may speak up. To be honest, I want to see this,” he said when asked if he would be addressing the convention with his wife. “I'd love to be there when my wife speaks. So the answer is yes, I will be there.”

The Manhattan billionaire went on to joke with the “Fox and Friends” hosts that he wanted to keep his attendance Monday night a secret.

“I just don't want to say it, so I'll keep it quiet, just among us, I'll be there. I want to watch. It will be very exciting.”
