Reacting to Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday night, on Friday morning, the hosts and correspondents of NBC’s Today scolded the GOP nominee for his “dark” tone of “doom and gloom.” Opening the broadcast, co-host Matt Lauer proclaimed: “Donald Trump closes out the Republican National Convention in a speech that was both fiery...and dark.”
Moments later, fellow co-host Savannah Guthrie chimed in: “Depending on you ask, some saw a leader ready to put America back on track, others saw a lot of doom and gloom.” Correspondent Peter Alexander followed: “This wasn't exactly Ronald Reagan's ‘shining city on the hill,’ it wasn’t George W. Bush's ‘compassionate conservatism.’ Instead, it was Donald Trump's order and the border.”
