Donald Trump has told a rally in Michigan that he “took a bullet for democracy” when an attempt was made on his life last week.
Attended by thousands, it was Trump’s first rally with new running mate JD Vance - and first since he survived the assassination attempt.
He told a packed arena in Grand Rapids that Democrats have accused him of being “a threat to democracy” and, to huge applause, said he was ready to “take back the White House”.
Many of those at the event, in the battleground state of Michigan, told the BBC that the assassination attempt - which killed an audience member and wounded two others - would not stop them from showing support for the Republican presidential nominee.
Some said they came precisely because of the shooting.
Called it.
I said to my co-workers as soon as I heard he got shot at, he was going to claim that he took a bullet for America and Democracy.
But it wasn’t exactly hard to call it…the guy is a major narcissist.
He let that bullet slide right past him and into that young family man he fooled.
He fooled him into wanting an king, and then his king passed a bullet onto him.
Isn’t it true that trump didn’t even call his widow and biden did!? And she refused the call…
And then his king immediately stood triumphant with a fist in the air.
Incorrect actually. He lay on the ground for around 30/40 seconds under a secret service shield… And then, when told to leave by secret service he screamed about his shoes… not wanting to be seen without his shoes. He whined n screamed at them for what… 10 seconds.
And then he got his photo op.
Yeah, this is what seems the most sus about it all. Not, “What the fuck just happened?” Instead, “Where’s my shoes?”
