He broke tradition at the Republican National Convention by appearing Monday night to introduce his wife to delegates.
"We're gonna win so big. Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen. We're gonna win so big."
Those were Trumps words in response to the cheering crowd of Republicans in Cleveland, Ohio.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce the next first lady of the United States, Melania Trump," The presumptive nominee told delegates as he welcomed his wife to the stage.
She took the podium with the crowd cheering her as she told her story of how she came to America as a model, earned her citizenship and worked hard to earn a degree. She spoke of her parents, her love for them, and the strong work ethic they taught her. (Screengrab via CBN News)
"My parents impressed on me the value of that you work hard for what you want in life," she told her fellow Republicans.
"That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. Show the values and morals in the daily life," she went on to say.
One Scripture she referenced was from Isaiah 59:14-15, "So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey."
