“I took a bullet for democracy”: Donald Trump poses as a miracle worker at his first rally
A week after escaping an assassination attempt, Donald Trump held a rally in Michigan on Saturday, July 20. Facing a galvanized crowd, fear did not make him lose his sense of phrasing.
To host Donald Trump’s rally, a week after his assassination attempt and the 12,000 spectators, Michigan put in place an unprecedented security system. Faced with the crowd, the candidate forgot the promises of unity made after the shock. Donald Trump, who now wears a simple bandage on his ear, has returned to his outrages and insults against Joe Biden, described as a stupid old man. From now on, the assassination attempt is integrated into the story he writes of his own glory.Last week I took a bullet for democracy!” he thundered.
His excited supporters, who came to see their hero miraculously recover, are determined to convince voters in the key state of Michigan, working class and traditionally undecided. Donald Trump knows the power of images, his triumphant posture in front of a crowd contrasts with that of a Joe Biden isolated within his party and pushed towards the exit.
