Donald Trump Accepts Republican Nomination, Details Assassination Attempt: ‘I Had God on My Side’

As a film enthusiast who has followed the political scene closely, I have witnessed countless speeches from presidential nominees throughout the years. However, none have left me as captivated and intrigued as Donald Trump‘s acceptance speech for the Republican nomination this year.


Previously elected President Donald Trump received the Republican Party’s nomination for another term during Thursday’s event. In contrast to his previous speeches, he adopted a more gentle demeanor following a close call five days prior, when an assassin’s bullet unexpectedly came perilously close to him at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

At Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum, Trump made an entrance filled with drama. A grand display of big, bright lights, arranged like a vanity mirror, spelled out his name.

As someone who has witnessed the deep divisions and discord in our society, I deeply resonate with the message of unity and hope that this speaker brings. Having lived through challenging times, I understand the importance of coming together as a nation, healing wounds, and working towards a common goal. Four months from now, I believe we have the potential to achieve an incredible victory, not just for half of America, but for all of America. We are bound by a single fate and shared destiny, and it is essential that we rise together or risk falling apart. I admire this person’s commitment to serving and representing every American, and I share their belief that there is no victory in winning for only half of the country.

On Saturday during the shooting, Trump shared with the audience a vivid account of what he had experienced.

Trump expressed a sense of security, believing God was with him. He shared, “I truly felt this way.” When he mentioned feeling unwarranted among the audience, they encouraged, “You should be here.” Their support later transformed into “We want Trump.”

Trump referred to living through the shooting as a “divinely intervened event,” using a phrase that many others have employed since the July 13 occurrence.

Here I am, speaking to you all in this grand amphitheater, thanks to the blessings bestowed upon me by God above. But just as I was about to continue sharing my story, a wave of “fight, fight, fight” cheers interrupted me – an allusion to the famous phrase Trump once shouted while pumping his fist in the air, surrounded by chaos and hurried away by Secret Service agents.

Trump, who’s famous for his aggressive campaigning style, toned down the attacks during his rallies versus President Biden and other Democrats. He did, however, criticize “inept leadership” affecting the country at present and targeted “Crazy Nancy Pelosi,” a previous Democratic House Speaker, in his criticism.

“During this election, let’s focus on addressing the challenges facing our nation and making America thrive, secure, liberated, and magnificent once more. In a period when politics frequently creates discord, it’s essential to recall that we are all Americans sharing a common destiny.”
