Two sources involved with the planning said to expect Trump family members and friends to take top speaking slots. Trump's adult children and regular surrogates, Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Jr., are sure bets. There were early rumors that Trump would speak every night of the convention, but a convention-planning source said the idea was no longer being considered.

A few celebrities and athletes could make appearances, including legendary former Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight, former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, and NASCAR chief Brian France, according to Bloomberg Politics. Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was reportedly also going to attend, which prompted outrage over the convicted rapist's inclusion. Shortly after the backlash became public, Trump said that Tyson wasn't even invited. The campaign and Republican National Committee haven't confirmed or denied those names.

That would be the "just" thing for them to do, but like you say it's the "real" world and justice isn't exactly at the top of the list anywhere.

The Kurds are probably considered Infidels and infidels don't get cut a lot of slack in that part of the world.
