Trump Recounts Assassination Attempt During RNC Speech

Former President Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president for the third time Thursday after an extraordinary five days in US politics. #politics #trump #biden #rnc #milwaukee #president #election

Trump’s 93-minute acceptance speech — the longest in the television era — began with an extraordinary turnabout from his dark and combative 2016 speech. “The discord and division in our society must be healed,” he said, before riffing insults at the usual targets of his rally speeches: migrants, Democrats and the media.

Just five days after a would-be assassin’s bullet struck his now-bandaged right ear, Trump told thousands of rapt delegates and guests of his narrow escape from death Saturday, and paid tribute to the retired fire chief who was killed in the attack.

Trump promised to end electric-vehicle mandates, raise tariffs to support the auto industry and provide “massive tax cuts” for workers — including an exemption for taxes on tips.
