Donald Trump made a surprise stop at the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina on Monday afternoon after he was officially nominated to become the party's candidate in November.
Coming out onto the stage to his rally anthem 'God Bless the USA,' Trump was greeted by delegates at the scaled-down convention with chants of 'four more years.'
'We have to win. This is the most important election in the history of our country,' Trump said to cheers from a smaller-than-usual crowd.
'Don't let them take it away from you,' Trump urged the end of his nearly hour-long remarks. 'Don't let them take it away. North Carolina, we love you. That's why I'm here… very special people.'
