Donald Trump - First appearance after the attack with a plaster
Two days after the shootings at him in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump (78) made his first public appearance. At the start of the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, the former US President and challenger to incumbent Joe Biden (81) took the stage. At his right ear, which was injured by a grazing bullet in the shooting, Trump wore a large bandage, which was also visible in the back rows.
Trump was introduced in the hall with the words "He's here to show his courage today. He will be the next President of the United States." Trump, according to many observers, gave himself less fiery than usual. Instead, he came close to tears, as several US media reported in agreement. He smiled broadly as he raised his right fist. J.D. Vance (39) stood next to him, who was officially designated as Trump's running mate at the convention.
Trump's supporters in the audience chanted "fight" instead. Trump had called for this himself a few seconds after the shootings on Saturday evening (local time), as security guards led the bloodied politician off the stage.

Donald Trump did not give a speech at the convention's opening. He followed the event from a box next to his children. As expected, Trump was officially nominated as the Republican presidential candidate on Monday by the Republicans. He is scheduled to give a speech on Thursday to accept the nomination. It is expected that he will accept the election in this speech.
On the evening of July 13 (local time), the 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at Donald Trump at a campaign event. One spectator was killed. The assassin was shot by the Secret Service at the scene.
