    THREAD: Trump shot at Rally

    Trump rewrites Republican convention speech to focus on unity not Biden
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...ity-not-biden/
    {Salena Zito | 14 July 2024}

    Former President Donald Trump has completely rewritten his convention speech in light of the assassination attempt against him on Saturday and will call on Thursday for a new effort at national unity.

    In an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner a day after being hit by a sniper’s bullet, Trump said he wanted to take advantage of a historic moment and draw the country together.

    “The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger,” he said, “Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches” aimed mostly at the policies of President Joe Biden. “Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now.”

    He has switched, he said, from planning to excite his voter base to one that demonstrates his belief that the attack on him at a rally in Pennsylvania had changed the election campaign entirely. Both Republicans and Democrats have acknowledged this in the aftermath of Saturday’s shocking incident.

    Trump said people all across the country from different walks of life and different political views have called him, and he noted that he was saved from death because he turned from the crowd to look at a screen showing data he was using in his speech.

    “That reality is just setting in,” he said. “I rarely look away from the crowd. Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?”

    Talking as he boarded his plane in Bedminster, New Jersey, for Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention starts Monday and lasts through Thursday, Trump said his speech will meet the moment that history demands. “It is a chance to bring the country together. I was given that chance.”

    Early Sunday morning, Trump posted on Truth social that it was “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening” and that he would “fear not.” Again, in talking to the Washington Examiner, he invoked “God” for his deliverance.

    “This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together. The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would’ve been two days ago,” he said.

    The Washington Examiner’s interview with Trump had been due to take place on his airplane on the return flight from the rally to Bedminster. That arrangement put this reporter just feet from Trump when he was shot.

    Trump hailed Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief who was shot and killed at the rally, and two other supporters, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were wounded and are recovering at a local hospital in stable condition.

    Trump said his decision to raise his hand when the Secret Service was leading him off stage was to let the people there know he was OK, “And that America goes on, we go forward, that we are strong,” he said.

    The photograph of him holding his fist in the air, blood streaming across his face as the agents surrounded him, has already become the iconic image of the 2024 election.

    If he speaks in Milwaukee of uniting the country, it would echo President Ronald Reagan, who, in 1981, projected strength as he, too, recovered from wounds — far graver than Trump’s — inflicted by a would-be assassin in Washington, D.C.

    Trump said when he stood up and saw the crowd had not moved, he needed to tell them that he and the country were going to be OK. “The energy coming from the people there in that moment, they just stood there; it’s hard to describe what that felt like, but I knew the world was looking. I knew that history would judge this, and I knew I had to let them know we are OK.”

    Get ready for an even more bipartisan version of Trump, and a Republican Party that is more than happy to follow him in that direction.
    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.

    It would be for someone who wanted that. For Trump, it's an opportunity for him to move in the opposite direction, like he has always wanted to.

    and yet the media still can't be honest with the public and call it an assassination attempt. trust me, they will be right back at it sowing division among us all. Why? because it works in securing votes.

    Trump Assassination Attempt: Complete Failure of Police and the Secret Service

    The headline is true. But the response will not be to defund and instead privatize anything, but rather to increase federal spending and "security through strength".

    TPTB/Israel Lobby Trump's Agenda: A Brand New FBI Building, Nationwide Stop and Frisk... they need somebody who will spend $8 Trillion in a single term and not get any flack from his followers.

    Trump seemed a changed man entering the convention, much more subdued and, dare I say, humbled. I guess a high-speed round passing millimeters from his brain might do that.

    I noticed that too. He had a real "I just saw the face of God and somehow survived" look on his face. Hopefully he soon gets back the fire in the belly. Maybe by end-of-convention speech.

    I carpooled with a pro-abortion liberal in 2012 as delegates to the GA state GOP convention.




    Just sayin.

    (it was an interesting conversation we had on the topic, but I don't think I changed his mind, and the last time I checked his Facebook, he's a flaming liberal now so . . . )

    But he wasn't given a speaking slot at the convention, I assume.

    No. Though, there were some funny moments when some old white-haired ladies were curious to know how the piercing in his forehead was done. I'm sure they had never seen anything quite like him at a republican convention.

    As for the RNC speakers on Monday, I thought the Teamster's union guy's speech was more cringey, for some reason. I'm not sure that it means I'm against workers, but as he was speaking, I kept hearing "eat the rich." Like maybe he went a little overboard.
