Donald Trump, speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, recounted the recent assassination attempt where he was hit by a bullet that grazed his right ear during a campaign event in Pennsylvania. He noted that this recounting would be the only time he speaks of the incident, which he finds painful. Trump highlighted the closeness of the attempt on his life, mentioning that a slight head movement saved him. He felt secure during the situation, attributing his safety to divine protection. Trump appeared with a bandaged ear and was delayed by thirty minutes for his speech, which was his first public appearance since being nominated as the Republican presidential candidate. He also paid tribute to Corey Comperatory, a 50-year-old volunteer firefighter who died during the attempt. Trump confidently stated his expectation to win against Democrat Joe Biden in the upcoming election, pledging to be ‘president for all of America, not just half of it.’
