On the first night of the Republican National Convention, President Trump appeared on stage and was met with enthusiastic applause.
Trump wore a white bandage on his right ear as he was welcomed on stage with his family. Although Trump did not give a speech on day one, he is scheduled to speak to delegates on Thursday evening.
One of the evening’s highlights was Pastor James A. Roemke of Kenosha’s Messiah Lutheran Church, who entertained the audience with a humorous impression of Trump.
Rev. Roemke, mimicking Trump’s facial expressions and voice, joked, “You’re going to be so blessed, you’re going to be tired of being blessed. I guarantee it. Believe me.”

“Funniest moment of the night. Look at that smile from President Trump.”
Before delivering a benediction at the Republican National Convention Monday night, Rev. James A. Roemke performed a spot-on Donald Trump impression — in front of the former president himself.
“It’s a great pleasure to be here,” Rev. Roemke said from Fiserv Forum’s stage. “A great pleasure to see President Donald Trump safe.”
The audience clapped as a touched Trump appeared to say “thank you.”
“If I may before the benediction, give you this promise,” Roemke continued.
Then, the pastor switched into a Trump-like voice, complete with signature hand gestures and expressions.
After the light-hearted moment, Rev. Roemke proceeded to pray for the United States and President Trump.

One of the only people on stage to mention Jesus Christ.”
