Former President Donald Trump has reassured his family and supporters that he will proceed with next week's scheduled convention in Milwaukee, where he is set to become the official nominee of the Republican Party. This decision comes in the aftermath of a shooting incident that left his family and allies in shock.
After being taken to Butler Memorial Hospital, Trump took the time to check in with his immediate family and also communicated with President Joe Biden. Despite the unsettling events of the evening, Trump remained resolute in his commitment to his political endeavors.
During the incident, Trump, surrounded by Secret Service agents, gestured to his supporters on stage, mouthing the word 'Fight' three times before giving a fist-bump and then swiftly entering his motorcade. This display of resilience in the face of danger underscores Trump's long-standing concerns about potential threats to his safety.
Throughout his political career, Trump has been vigilant about his security arrangements and has always prioritized his safety. He was particularly relieved when granted Secret Service protection in November 2015 and has consistently praised the agents who have safeguarded him during his time as a presidential candidate and in the White House.
