Trump Recalls Assassination Attempt During Nomination Acceptance Speech

Trump said if he had not turned his head at the exact time the bullet was fired, he would not be here.

Donald Trump officially accepted the GOP presidential nomination Thursday at the Republican National Convention in a speech.

The former president began his speech with a deep personal message that stemmed from the assassination attempt against him. Trump said if he had not turned his head at the exact time the bullet was fired, he would not be here.

Trump also outlined an agenda led by what he promises would be the largest deportation operation in U.S. history regarding an intense immigration issue. He also suggested Democrats cheated during the 2020 election he lost and suggested “we must not criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement.”

Trump hardly mentioned President Biden, often referring only to the “current administration.”

Trump’s address went down as the longest convention speech in modern history at just under 93 minutes. It also marked the conclusion of a massive four-day Republican pep-rally.
