Former President Trump Made First Appearance After Assassination Attempt On His Life
The US political theatre has become one that aspirants must be consciously protected now, after what the world saw few days ago. Even though many came out to condemn the assassination attempt in strong terms, lives should not be lost simple because of political offices which is only but transient.
According to FORBES, the former President appeared for the first time after that attempt on his life.. It reads;
Former President Donald Trump made his first major public appearance Monday at the Republican National Convention after an attempted assassination against him Saturday, entering the arena visibly emotional and with a bandage over his right ear, where he was shot while speaking in Pennsylvania.
A misty-eyed Trump walked into the arena as the crowd applauded him and Lee Greenwood sang his “God Bless the U.S.A.” before Trump took his seat in between his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, and Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla.
Trump’s two adult sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., were seated behind him, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was seated next to Vance.
Trump’s surprise appearance came hours after the GOP formally nominated him earlier Monday for the third consecutive election cycle.
Trump did not address the crowd Monday; he is expected to speak Thursday on the final day of the event in Milwaukee.
Trump was last photographed deboarding his plane as it landed in Milwaukee Sunday, but the bandage over his right ear was not visible in photos of him descending the staircase.
