When the defector story was told it was powerful. This tough SOB was beaten close to his death, he traveled hundreds of miles on crutches for freedom, reminding Americans (and so many Canadians who lack freedom), just how precious it is. Then they tortured and killed his father, creating and even more angry defector who now gets his revenge by helping other defectors and uses a radio to comm across the border.
That moment he lifted his crutches and the gallery hollered at him, it was as if he was telling that fat sob in North Korea "look at me now punk, you didn't break me and now I'm coming for you!" Loved it.
Also, when Trump surprised many and spoke of justice reform and how people who have paid their debt in prison should be allowed to leave and get a second chance at life. Everyone applauded that, and I think it is a very big deal for him to go down this road. Not just for moral reasons, but socially and even economically, it's the right decision. Why throw away potential and consider all inmates just lost causes when they make a mistake in life? That's not Christian like, and Trump and his son in law have been working on this, and I think it's a popular direction.
Not all obviously, but some and maybe even many former bad guys can become great Americans. That second chance can really motivate the human spirit. All in all a great moment.
