Trump got in a good one about how he knows the tradition is self-deprecating jokes.

But "I've got nothing," Trump said as the crowd roared.

"I guess I just don't see the point of taking shots at myself when other people have been shooting at me for a hell of a long time...," he continued. That was pretty good. //

He spoke about "having recently myself survived two assassination attempts" and the fact that turning to look at a chart probably saved his life. "Was that luck, or was that God, and I think that was God," he said.

"I have a fresh appreciation of how blessed we are by God’s Providence and his divine mercy...With God’s help, I know there is nothing that cannot be achieved. We can do so much good with this country and get together and unify."
