“It’s time for unity, a profoundly different discourse” –

The speech that former US President Donald Trump will give at the Republican convention in Milwaukee will be “different”, following the attack he suffered yesterday in Pennsylvania. Trump himself announced it in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “Honestly, from now on I will give a completely different speech” and it will be a message of unity for the country and the world, Trump anticipated. If the attempted assassination “had not happened” in Milwaukee, Trump would have given “one of the most incredible speeches”, aimed above all at the policies of President Joe Biden, he said. “It would have been an amazing speech”, he added, but now is the time for unity, as he wrote on his social media.

“I should be dead.” These are the words of the former American president in an interview with the New York Post. “I shouldn’t be here, I should be dead,” Trump said. “Fortunately or by God, a lot of people say thank God, I’m still here.” According to the Post, during the interview the former president had a “large white bandage covering his right ear” and his staff said the newspaper mightn’t take any photos of him. Trump also showed the reporter a bruise on his arm that, he explained, was given by the agents who protected him by throwing him to the ground. Trump also commented on the iconic photo in which he appears with a bloody face, a raised fist and the American flag behind him. “A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen,” Trump said. “They’re right and I’m not dead. Usually you have to die to have an iconic photo,” the presidential candidate concluded.
