In a dramatic return to the public eye, former President Donald Trump addressed the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, his first appearance since surviving an assassination attempt. “I had God on my side,” Trump declared, describing the attack that left him with a minor ear injury but claimed the life of a bystander.
Trump, 78, accepted the Republican presidential nomination amidst chants of “USA,” expressing confidence in a sweeping victory come November. He emphasized his commitment to serve all Americans, not just a fraction. His speech followed warm-up acts by 1980s wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and far-right media personality Tucker Carlson, who hailed Trump’s survival as historic.
Despite the turbulence of recent years, including 34 felony convictions and the fallout from his 2020 election loss, Trump’s resolve remains unshaken. With his family present and supporters energized, he looks forward to reclaiming the presidency. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure within his party to withdraw due to health concerns.
