“I knew right away that it was very serious that we were being attacked,” he said at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, “but in a way I felt very safe because God was on my side.”
All American President
Trump later announced his candidacy at the Republican National Convention to “be the president of all America.” “I stand before you tonight with a message of confidence, strength and hope,” Trump told an ecstatic crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“In four months, we will achieve an incredible victory and begin four of the greatest years in the history of our country. Together, we will usher in a new era of security, prosperity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, skin color and creed,” Trump said.
“I’m running to be president of all America, not half America, because winning for half of America is not winning,” he declared.
Trump, 78, officially accepted his party’s nomination for president on Nov. 5. in the upcoming elections, in which he will have to face the current owner of the White House, Joe Biden.
He is set to run alongside vice-presidential candidate JD Vance, a senator from Ohio about 40 years Trump’s junior, a rising star in the Republican Party and a former staunch critic who is now a staunch supporter.
Trump was officially nominated as the Republican presidential candidate just two days after a failed attempt on his life.
The planet is teetering on the brink of war
D. Trump stated at the convention that the planet is teetering on the brink of World War III.
“War is now raging in Europe and the Middle East. The growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines and all of Asia, and our planet teeters on the brink of World War III. It’s going to be a war like never before in terms of weaponry,” Trump said.
“I will end all the international crises created by the current administration, including the terrible war between Russia and Ukraine, which would never have started if I had been president,” he vowed.
Several shots were fired at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. One bullet hit the ex-president’s ear. The shooter shot and killed one spectator and seriously injured two others. Secret Service agents killed him.
Told about the attempt on his life
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke Thursday of his near-death experience just days ago, saying he survived only by “the grace of God almighty.”
“I shouldn’t be here tonight,” Trump insisted at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in his first speech since he was wounded by a 20-year-old gunman at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last weekend.
Trump recounted how he took the stage in front of a cheering crowd amid music and began talking about his administration’s actions on immigration and the southern border. Behind him was a screen showing the statistics of border crossings during his time in power, and he turned his head to look at it.
“I heard a loud buzzing sound and felt something very hard on my right ear. I said to myself, “Wow, what was that?” It can only be a bullet,” Trump said. He said he put his hand to his ear and when he brought it down it was “covered in blood, blood was everywhere. I immediately understood that it was very serious, that we were being attacked.”
“Kovokite, kovokite, kovokite!”
As the bullets flew, Secret Service agents rushed to the scene and blocked Trump to protect him, the former president said.
“The unbelievable thing is that if I hadn’t turned my head at the last moment before the shot, the assassin’s bullet would have hit the target perfectly and I wouldn’t be here tonight.” We wouldn’t be together,” Trump said.
He praised the actions of his supporters at the rally, saying they turned to look for a sniper and did not cause a traffic jam. “They knew I was in trouble. They didn’t want to leave me. You can see the love in their faces. Wonderful people,” noted D. Trump.
“I wanted to do something to show him that I was okay. I raised my right hand, looked at the thousands of people who were waiting with bated breath, and shouted, “Fight, fight, fight!” he continued.
Trump has said he will never talk about the moment he nearly lost his life again. “So many people have asked me, ‘What happened?’ Please tell me what happened,” he said. But “you’ll never hear it from me a second time because it’s too painful to tell.”
