Former President Donald Trump in his speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday night described the assassination attempt that he won’t undertake a second time “because it’s actually too painful to tell.”

The former president recalled the day of the rally in Pennsylvania – the crowd cheering and him walking up to the stage. “Everyone was happy,” Trump said.

He said he immediately knew they were under attack and dropped to the ground as “bullets were continuing to fly.”

Trump said that “very brave” Secret Services members rushed to the stage and “pounced on top of me so that I would be protected.”

“There was blood pouring everywhere and yet, in a certain way I felt very safe because I had God on my side.”

Former President Donald Trump has formally accepted the GOP nomination for president for a third time at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

“So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States,” Trump said to applause.

Tonight’s speech marks his first public address since surviving an assassination attempt last week.

Trump beat multiple GOP primary challengers and became the first former president to be convicted of a felony in May.

Former President Donald Trump mentioned his likely opponent, President Joe Biden, by name during his speech Thursday night, although he said he wouldn’t do it again.

“If you took the 10 worst presidents in the history of the United States, think of it, the 10 worst, added them up, they will not have done the damage Biden has done,” Trump said at the Republican National Convention.
“Only gonna use the term once, Biden, I’m not gonna use the name any more, just one time.”

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump urged Democrats to drop the “partisan witch hunts” against him.

As an example, he noted that a Florida judge on Monday dismissed his classified documents case.

The judge found “that the prosecutor and the fake documents case against me were totally unconstitutional and the entire case was thrown out of court,” Trump said.

He also said the Democratic Party “should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy.”

He also noted the subpoenas that his family members had received from Congress.

“They got subpoenaed more than any people, probably the history of the United States every week, they get another subpoena from the Democrats, crazy Nancy Pelosi,” he said. “They’ve got to stop that because they are destroying our country.”

Trump said he had come out on top despite every impeachment and indictment against him. “The time that you have to spend — if they would devote that genius to helping our country, we’d have a much stronger and better country.”
