Former President Donald Trump made a dramatic entrance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Monday, just two days after surviving an assassination attempt.
His arrival was met with an overwhelming wave of support and emotion from the convention attendees.
The evening began with a stirring speech from Lee Greenwood, who underscored the power of prayer and faith. “Is there any doubt who’s going to be the next President of the United States?” Greenwood asked the crowd, who responded with enthusiastic cheers.
Greenwood continued, “Prayer works — this nation is based on faith. Prayer works because as Donald Trump turned his head just slightly, the bullet missed him just enough to save his life to be the next President of the United States.” The crowd erupted in applause, moved by the reminder of the close call Trump had experienced.

With “God Bless the U.S.A.” playing in the background, Trump walked out to a rapturous welcome. The former president, who had a gauze covering his ear where the bullet had grazed him, appeared visibly touched by the crowd’s support.
The audience began chanting, “Fight, fight, fight,” echoing the words Trump had shouted immediately after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he had defiantly pumped his fist with blood dripping from his face.
Trump, now officially the GOP nominee, waved to the ecstatic crowd, taking in the moment after the harrowing events of the previous 48 hours.
He shook hands with notable figures such as Tucker Carlson and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), as well as members of his family. Donald Trump Jr. looked on proudly at his father, visibly moved by the support and resilience shown in the face of danger.
This moment at the convention not only marked Trump’s formal nomination but also served as a powerful symbol of his continued influence and the unwavering support of his base.
The crowd’s response reflected a collective sentiment of defiance and solidarity, reinforcing Trump’s narrative of strength and perseverance in the face of adversity.
As the convention proceeded, the atmosphere remained charged with emotion and determination, setting a powerful tone for the days to come.
The events underscored the deep connection between Trump and his supporters, illustrating the enduring impact of his leadership and the fervent hope among many for his return to the presidency.
