Trump Says He ‘Took a Bullet for Democracy’ at Michigan Campaign Speech
Sporting a new, flesh-colored ear bandage at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Saturday night following the failed attempt on his life last week, Donald Trump claimed, “I took a bullet for democracy.”
The former president also broke the promise he made in his convention speech to never talk about the shooting again because he said it was “too painful” for him to recount.
“I begin this evening with a very special thanks to Americans nationwide including all of you here today for your extraordinary outpouring of love and support in the wake of the horrific last Saturday event,” Trump began.
