In the first public appearance since being shot in an assassination attempt on Saturday, Trump arrived at the Republican National Convention on Monday night. His right ear bandaged from the attempt on his life just two days before.
Trump pointed to his ear as he appeared in the tunnel to roars and laughs from the crowd, exhilarated to see their former president still standing. Donald Trump Jr. wept as his father entered to a live performance of “I’m Proud to Be An American” by Lee Greenwood. Outside the Fiserv center, thunder rolled. The crowd chanted “USA! USA! USA!” just as they did moments after Trump threw his fist in the air after a would be assassin grazed the president’s ear at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump made his way across the floor and greeted his new running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH), as well as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Rep. Byron Donalds, and Tucker Carlson in the president’s booth.
