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.”

"I'm supposed to be dead" says Trump. "No one should be able to eat the number of cheeseburgers I eat and still be alive."

    "My doctor says you have the highest greatest LDL count of any president ever." "Lipitor, sweet lipitor, isn't it great folks, eat all the McDonald's you could ever want, take one little pill and it all washes away, right into the toilet that won't flush, 7-8 times you have to flush that thing."

    Basically, a massive narcissist was just martyred by someone in his own party. The narcissism will be even further off the charts now. His already unbearable cult of personality will got so far past 11, it’s going to be so much worse.

    The optimist in me was so hoping Trump would see the error of his ways after his life was tried and another made forfeit in his stead.

    Motherfucker still talking about himself. God damnit. I had a hopeful moment, my bad. Back to Plan A: Big ballsy Biden's bountiful bouquet of blissful banter.

    Which, I might add, is currently surrounded by the lackluster looming laughable languid leftist lobotomy of a circus performance, and I'm not only referring to the politicians. stares

    I’ll believe it when I see it. The only thing he’s ever been able to unify is an angry mob

    What? That wasn't him, it was ANTIFA. One big liberal conspiracy. The only conservatives in the crowd that day were tourists who were innocently shunted along into the building. They never intended to go inside, it was the fault of ANTIFA and the woke liberal mob.

    Not sure about "only" but they're certainly few and far between. And unlike this idiot who's , I guess , a front runner for his VP. This type of language is how we got here.

    This tweet / statement popped up on the news thus morning while I was waiting to see the weather forecast.

    I'm so sure THIS is the thing that is going to unify our country around a common cause. Yep, just like a lighter unites gasoline and wood.

    “Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together.”

    Anyone else worried that his definition of brining 'the country together' may be more along the lines of trying to instigate coordinated violence against his perceived enemies and adversaries?

    I don't want to give him ideas but could he sue the government for failing to secure his speech area and protect him?
