Attack on the gathering
After formally accepting the nomination as the Republican nominee, Trump recalled Saturday’s attack, saying it would be the only time the public would hear him talk about it, because it was something “too painful” to talk about. The former president said that if he hadn’t turned his head as the bullet came in, “I wouldn’t be here.” He declared, “I shouldn’t be here tonight.”
Trump claimed that after the shooting, the crowd thought he was dead. He said he stood up, raised his arm and shouted, “Killer, killer, killer.” He then remembered Republican Cory Comperatore, the firefighter who died at the rally, and two others who were injured.
“He was a very respected firefighter, and his wife Helen is a wonderful woman, I spoke to her,” he said. “He protected his family and he got hurt.” Trump then stepped away from the podium and approached a comperator costume that was laid out on the convention stage.

change tone
Trump changed his tone to criticize his Democratic rivals who have been pressuring Joe Biden to drop out of the race since his disastrous debate performance against Trump.
The former president said Democrats were using the justice system against him. “The Democratic Party must immediately stop using the justice system and calling their opponent an enemy of democracy,” Trump said. “Because that’s not true. In fact, I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country.”
Trump has criticized the Biden administration, calling it a “completely incompetent administration” and that the November election is “the most important in our country.” The former president has promised to end inflation, lower interest rates, combat illegal immigration into the United States, and end ongoing conflicts around the world, such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
Trump said he would “bring back the American dream” and stated that “if you took the ten worst presidents in American history and added them to the list, they wouldn’t have done the damage that Biden has done.”
Trump claimed that countries like Venezuela and El Salvador send their “criminals” to the United States, which is why crime rates are low in those places, before vowing to carry out the “largest deportation operation” in US history if elected.
