The event marked his first public appearance since the previous weekend, when he survived an assassination attempt.

Trump received a hero’s welcome from the crowd, who cheered enthusiastically.

Delegates and attendees greeted him warmly, chanting “Fight!” and “USA!”.

Trump was wearing a bandage covering part of his right ear due to the assassination attempt on him, during which an AR-15 bullet grazed and skimmed his ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

One person was killed and two others were seriously injured in the assassination attempt.

In this, Trump’s first public appearance, he was surrounded by his children, as well as Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and his new running mate JD Vance.

Several controversial figures were also present at the event, including Marjorie Taylor-Greene, who spoke at the convention, and Tucker Carlson, who, meanwhile, stood by Trump’s side.

It’s clear that, with recent tragic events, Republicans seem all rallied around Donald Trump.
