Trump distances himself from chaotic RNC: ‘I just showed up’
You can bet that if the Republican convention had been well-produced, The Donald would be taking credit for it. It wasn’t, and he didn’t. Wasn’t this the braggart who said all these great people would show up to speak on his behalf? You know, like Don King and Tim Tebow. Huuuge people, who said they’d never been invited.
The Times asked Trump about why his convention seemed haphazardly thrown-together, unlike the very coordinated and on-message Democratic convention and unlike Republican conventions of the past. “I didn’t produce our show — I just showed up for the final speech on Thursday,” he responded.

In a departure from his usual rhetoric, Trump even declined to say which convention he thought was better. “I’ve liked both shows,” he said.
Trump’s sudden distancing comes after media reports indicated that he was heavily involved in the planning of the convention, while simultaneously betraying his ignorance of how conventions actually worked. The Times reported that Trump didn’t even realize that the convention had to be held in Cleveland and tried to change the venue so he could enter in a helicopter. The Democratic National Convention has pulled in more viewers in ratings compared to last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
