Donald Trump: ‘Nothing Will Stop Me’ in First Speech Since Assassination Attempt
“I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America,” Trump said
The last day of the 4-day Republican National Convention saw the US presidential nominee Donald Trump giving the keynote speech leaving the retired wrestler Hulk Hogan ripping off his shirt and calling the former US president an “American Hero” during his address.
With US President Joe Biden sidelined from campaigning due to his Covid diagnosis, Trump’s speech came with great details about the flaws in the administration and, for the first time, the assassination attempt that left his ear injured.
“I’m not supposed to be here”
The 78-year-old Republican had the crowd chanting “Yes, you are!” when he started speaking about the assassination attempt this week and claimed that he shouldn’t be here.
“I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God,” Trump added.
Trump paid homage to Corey Comperatore, the attendee who lost his life amid the chaos at the Pennsylvania rally by kissing the firefighter’s gear.
“Stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy.”, Trump added calling out the Opposition.
“Nothing will stop me in this mission. Because our vision is righteous and our cause is pure.”, he roared.
“I will end the illegal immigration crisis by closing our border and finishing the wall, most of which I have already built.” he added.
‘A dumping ground for the rest of the world’
The former president spoke about the illegal immigrant invasion and called it a plague that has left the country as a dumping ground for other countries.
“There’s never been an invasion like this anywhere. Third-world countries would fight with sticks and stones not to let this happen. The invasion at our southern border, we will stop it, and we will stop it quickly,” he said referring to the US-Mexico border.
Taking a dig at the Biden office, Trump claimed that his is the only administration that says “we’re going to raise your taxes by four times what you’re paying now.”
A call for American unity
Making a pitch for unity, Trump said, “I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.”
“The discord and division in our society must be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart,” he added.
