Speaking as he prepared to board a flight to the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he is expected to be confirmed as the party's candidate for president, Mr Trump said he now had a "chance to bring the country together".
He said his speech would now be completely different instead of the "humdinger" aimed mostly at current President Joe Biden's policies he had previously planned.
“Had [Saturday's attack] not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches.
“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together.”
Heaping on: He registered to vote as a Republican in the ‘22 midterm. A reason being given for a Democrat to register as Republicans is said to be to spoil primaries, but he did not vote in this year’s primary, so I think that line of thought is less likely.
