Emotionally attacked instead of combative: This was Donald Trump’s first public appearance after the assassination attempt.
Less than two days after he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump (78) appeared in public for the first time. At the start of the US Republican Party Convention in Milwaukee, the former US President and challenger to incumbent Joe Biden (81) took the stage. Donald Trump wore a large bandage on his right ear, which was injured by a graze bullet in the assassination attempt, which could also be seen in the back rows.
Donald Trump was announced in the hall with the words “He is here to show his courage today. He will be the next President of the United States.” According to many observers, the presidential candidate was less combative than usual. Instead, he was almost in tears, as several US media outlets reported. He smiled broadly as he raised his right fist. Next to him stood JD Vance (39), who was officially chosen as Trump’s running mate at the party convention.
His supporters in the audience, however, chanted “fight.” Trump shouted this on Saturday evening (local time) just seconds after he was shot, as security forces led the blood-soaked politician off the stage.
Donald Trump accompanied by his children
Donald Trump did not give a speech at the start of the convention. He watched the event from a box next to his children. As expected, Trump was officially elected as the presidential candidate by the Republicans on Monday. Trump is scheduled to give a closing speech on Thursday. It is expected that he will accept the election in it.
On the evening of July 13 (local time), 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Donald Trump at a campaign rally. A spectator was killed. The assassin was shot dead at the scene by the Secret Service.
