With a small bandage on his ear, Donald Trump was in Grand Rapids (Michigan) on Saturday, July 20, for his first campaign rally since his assassination attempt. The event took place in front of 12,000 people, in a closed room, easier to secure than the parking lot where he was attacked. While the billionaire was officially sworn in at the Republican convention in Milwaukee on July 18, he promised his supporters a “monumental tidal wave” for the Republicans.
It must be said that the candidate for the White House was strengthened by the images that followed the assassination attempt he suffered. Photos of him with blood on his face and his fist raised have left their mark, while the state of health of his opponent, Joe Biden, is worrying even in his camp.
Tackles his opponents
The current president of the United States has been in isolation since he tested positive for Covid-19 and has been absent from public and stuttering. This health condition has earned him being called “stupid” and a “weak old man” by Donald Trump, although the two men are only four years apart in age. He also attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he called “crazy”.
Donald Trump also used his gunshot wound to his ear to continue to shape his strongman persona against Joe Biden. “They say I’m a threat to democracy, but what haven’t I done for democracy? Last week, I took a bullet for democracy,” said Donald Trump, who was slightly injured in the ear.
