The author makes editorializing statements and uses emotional manipulation by describing Trump's survival of an assassination attempt as 'a miracle by the grace of Almighty God'. She also uses sensationalism by describing Trump's speech as a 'greatest hits album marked by hyperbolic warnings about America and false claims of election fraud'. The author selectively reports details that support her position, such as Trump's legal rulings in his favor and the number of subpoenas his sons have received, while ignoring counter-evidence. She also makes a false claim about Democrats being 'destroying our country'.
The former president seemed to know it. His speech, at times, sounded more like an inaugural address than a nomination speech.

She also describes Biden as flailing for three weeks and possibly considering leaving the race. The author's language is highly favorable towards Trump, using phrases like 'renewed political power' and 'biggest platform'. She also mentions that Trump has an advantage in the polls and recent legal rulings have gone his way. The author also expresses a negative bias towards Democrats by describing them as partisan witch hunters who are destroying the country.
