Politically, the USA is a country divided into two camps. Trump is known for his verbal attacks on Biden. The assassination attempt is now – so it is hoped – intended to take the pressure off the situation.
As a result of the assassination attempt on him, former President Donald Trump says he wants to campaign for overcoming the political division in the country at the Republican Party Convention. He has abandoned his originally planned and very aggressive speech for the Republican Party Convention, Trump said in an interview with the tabloid newspaper “New York Post”. “I want to try to unite the country,” Trump reportedly said. “But I don’t know if it’s possible. People are very divided,” he said.
The four-day Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, begins today. Trump is expected to be officially named the party’s candidate for the presidential election in November on Thursday and to give an important speech. Despite the attack on Saturday at a campaign event, in which he was injured in the ear, the 78-year-old traveled to Milwaukee on Sunday.
“I had an extremely tough speech completely prepared, really well, all about the corrupt, terrible government,” Trump said, according to the New York Post. “But I threw it away.” When asked, he explained that the different political positions, for example on the issue of migration, were of course unchanged, but he wanted to bring the country together through success. He suggested, the newspaper reported, that the tone of the election campaign should now be a little more moderate.
The call after the assassination of US President Joe Biden, whom he wants to challenge in the November election, was good. Biden was “very nice,” Trump was quoted as saying.
Biden warned Americans on Sunday evening (local time) in a State of the Union address against politically motivated violence and called for the heated political climate to be cooled down. “We are not enemies,” he stressed. Shortly after Biden’s speech, Trump posted in capital letters on the Truth Social platform he co-founded: “Unite America!”
