It will be fantastic! It has never been done before, and will be a truly Historic Event. We are going to celebrate the GREAT AMERICAN COMEBACK, and the incredible successes of the American People who transformed our Country through the America First Agenda — NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY, STRONGER BORDERS, SAFEST EVER COMMUNITIES, LOWER COSTS AND REAL AFFORDABILITY, MORE JOBS, AMERICAN ENERGY DOMINANCE, AND SO MUCH MORE! Oil Prices are dropping sharply, even as we Denuclearize Iran. We are delivering on the promises that politicians talked about for decades, but never got done. At the Event, we will have hardworking Americans, our Great Innovators, Entrepreneurs, Manufacturers, First Responders, and Job Creators who are powering our Nation’s Golden Age, and proving that America’s best days are still ahead of us. We will also have lots of Great Entertainment — It will be a RALLY like none other! America’s 250th Birthday is approaching, and together, we are building the foundation for the NEXT 250 YEARS of American Greatness. Dallas will take center stage on September 9th and 10th as we celebrate our Nation, our achievements, and our bright future. THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN! Donald J.Trump”

Trump scheduled the two-day gathering for September 9th and 10th, calling Dallas “one of my favorite places in the World.” He framed the convention as a celebration of what he termed the “Great American Comeback” and the policy record of the America First Agenda.

The post listed several policy items Trump credited to his administration, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, stronger borders, lower costs, more jobs and American energy dominance. Trump also claimed oil prices are “dropping sharply” and referenced efforts to “Denuclearize Iran.”

Trump said attendees would include entrepreneurs, manufacturers, first responders and job creators. He promised “Great Entertainment” and described the event as “a RALLY like none other.”

The convention would coincide with the approach of the nation’s 250th birthday. Trump wrote that the gathering would help “build the foundation for the NEXT 250 YEARS of American Greatness.”

Major political parties have not held national conventions during midterm election cycles in modern history. TheRepublican National Committeehas staged its national nominating conventions every four years during presidential election seasons, making a midterm convention a break from longstanding party tradition (see truthsocial).

In the last 30 days, 43 of 561 Trump posts on Truth Social addressed the topic of domestic policy, placing this announcement within a sustained messaging effort on that theme.
