Former President Donald Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Thursday night, delivering a powerful speech about his dedication to serving all Americans. This marked Trump’s first official speech since he survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania. The attack was carried out by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who fired bullets from the roof of a nearby building, hitting Trump “in the upper part” of his right ear.
During his passionate address from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trump emphasized the importance of healing discord and division in America, stating that we must either “rise together” or “fall apart.” He highlighted the fact that Americans are bound by a single fate and shared destiny, calling for unity across the country.
The former president reiterated his commitment to being “president for all of America, not half,” expressing gratitude for the outpouring of love and support he received following the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump then went on to describe the harrowing events of that day, which he vowed would never be shared by him again due to its emotional toll.
Throughout his speech, Trump emphasized his belief in the importance of unity and working together as a nation, stressing that there can be no true victory for one half of the country at the expense of the other. He proudly accepted the Republican Party’s nomination to be their presidential candidate, reiterating his commitment to serving all Americans and fostering a sense of unity across the nation.
