One of those present at the rally felt ill, and shouts of “Ambulance, we need an ambulance” were heard from the crowd.
Trump, hearing this, immediately stopped his speech and turned his attention to what was happening. Accompanied by bodyguards, he came down from the stage and headed to the scene of the incident. At this time, doctors were already providing assistance to the victim. When Trump came closer, the man stood up, and the politician briefly talked to him, after which he hugged him.
The rally was Trump’s first major outdoor public appearance since he was shot in the ear on July 14. Security was beefed up at the North Carolina event, including bulletproof glass.
In his speech, Trump criticized the foreign policy of incumbent President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. He called the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan “damage to the reputation of the United States” and emphasized that the Taliban had acquired a significant arsenal of weapons. Trump also reiterated that he could end the war in Ukraine “with one phone call.”
