Donald Trump’s speech at the RNC Thursday "was both chaotic and troubling,” said Derek Turbin, Chair of the Democratic Party of Hawai’i. “For an unheard of 93-minutes, Trump rambled without presenting a clear vision for our country’s future. Instead, despite his claims of ‘changing’ due to the events of last Saturday, he continued his baseless attacks on prominent figures such as Nancy Pelosi and President Biden.”
The Democratic Party statement said that "Adding to the confusion, Trump referenced the fictional character Hannibal Lecter and praised North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. These bizarre inclusions emphasized the unhinged nature of his remarks and highlighted his troubling admiration for foreign powers and dictators, which runs counter to our democratic values."

DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF HAWAI'I ISSUED A STATEMENT WITH A "PROFOUND CONCERN" following Donald Trump's speech this week at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Hawai'i's Democratic Party called the speech "a troubling display of incoherence, falsehoods, and his alignment with undemocratic principles, highlighting the urgent need for responsible leadership."
The Democratic Party statement said that "Adding to the confusion, Trump referenced the fictional character Hannibal Lecter and praised North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. These bizarre inclusions emphasized the unhinged nature of his remarks and highlighted his troubling admiration for foreign powers and dictators, which runs counter to our democratic values."
Hawai'i's Democratic Party reported that "Following the conclusion of Trump’s speech, fact checkers identified 22 false statements made, which ranged from economic distortions to outright lies about his record and that of his opponents. These falsehoods were promptly debunked, reflecting his concerning pattern of misinformation and falsehoods."
Turbin said, “The speech not only demonstrated Trump’s lack of coherent leadership but also highlighted the dangerous path he advocates In these critical times, we need to rally behind the vision of progress and inclusivity championed by the Biden-Harris administration. We must reject the regressive policies and false narratives propagated by Trump and the Republican Party.”
The Democratic Party of Hawai’i stated that it "reaffirms its commitment to protecting our democracy and urges all to strongly consider the impact the upcoming election will have on our country’s future."
GOV. JOSH GREEN SUPPORTS THE CONTINUED CANDIDACY OF PRES. JOE BIDEN while U.S. Congressman Ed Case, former Hawai'i Governors Neil Abercrombie, John Waihee and Ben Cayetano recommended that Biden cease his campaign, following accusations that he is unfit to serve a second term.
Green said that Biden was "quite sharp" at the recent NATO summit, and top shape when he came to Lahaina to promise aid to victims of fire, holding up well in hot weather while meeting hundreds of people. Green, who is a physician, told The Hill: “Look, an 81-year-old gentleman is going to have moments where they skip a word, where they feel exhausted — that was the case when we had Ronald Reagan (R) as president, and he went on to two terms that are viewed as particularly successful by many.”
Green is scheduled to co-host a Biden-Harris campaign fundraiser July 29 in Martha's Vineyard on the mainland. The other co-host is television celebrity David Letterman.
