Washington: Donald Trump is not scared even after the deadly attack in the election rally. The bullet missed him, but Donald Trump is still standing tall in the US presidential election. Former President Donald Trump, who narrowly escaped the shooting in Pennsylvania, has now reached Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. His candidature will be confirmed here. In fact, just a day before, Donald Trump was addressing an election rally in Pennsylvania. That’s when an attempt was made to kill him. The attacker shot at him from a distance of 120 meters. The bullet missed his ear. However, he was injured.
Donald Trump arrived in Milwaukee on Sunday, just a day before the four-day event. However, his security has been beefed up. Thousands of Republican leaders and activists are attending the event, where Donald Trump will be formally declared the candidate for the 2024 presidential election. The kind of violence that was seen at the rally on Saturday (local time) has cast a scary shadow over the convention. Trump’s right ear was injured in the violence at the rally, one spectator died and another was injured.
After this attack on Donald Trump, special attention is being paid to the security of the event. Earlier on Sunday, in a post on social media, the former president had said that he was going to delay his visit by two days due to the assassination attempt, but he has decided that I cannot be forced to change my schedule because of a ‘shooter’ or potential killer. Let us tell you that Joe Biden has ordered an investigation into the attack on Donald Trump. He said that he is ordering an independent security review in connection with the events related to this attack.
At the same time, US President Joe Biden, while addressing the country, appealed to the countrymen to unite in this difficult time. He said this at a time when his predecessor President Donald Trump was attacked. He said that now the time has come to curb political rhetoric in the country. Addressing the country from the Oval Office, he said, ‘Today I want to talk to you about how we need to reduce the heat in our politics. We have to remember that even though we disagree, we are not enemies. We are neighbors, friends, colleagues, citizens and above all we are Americans.’
Appealing to the countrymen for unity, he said, we have to stand together. He said that the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania yesterday forces us all to take a step back and think about where we are and how to move forward. The President was speaking for the third time in less than 24 hours after the attack on Trump in Pennsylvania. Biden said that it is not yet known what the attacker’s motive was. Violence can never be the answer to violence.
