Assassination attempt reshapes Trump's campaign, vows unity

Trump revealed that he completely changed his Thursday speech. Initially, it was supposed to be "the most shocking speech" mainly focused on Joe Biden's policies.

However, the former president decided to change his plans because he shared the belief that the attempted assassination on Saturday completely changed the face of the ongoing presidential campaign in the USA.

In the interview, Donald Trump also said what he believes saved his life. "I rarely take my eyes off the crowd. If I hadn't done that at that moment, well, we wouldn't be talking today, right?" he said.

According to the former president, his life was saved by the fact that he turned his head for a second to look at a screen with statistics on illegal migration, which he referred to during his speech. "That table saved my life," he reportedly told a doctor.

If Trump hadn't moved his head, he would probably be dead by now.

Trump sees the failed assassination attempt on his life as an "opportunity to unite the country." "This is a historic moment and a chance to unite the country. I was given this chance," he said while boarding a plane to Milwaukee, where the National Republican Convention will continue until Thursday. "This is a chance to unite the whole country, and even the whole world. The speech will be completely different from what I had planned two days ago," he emphasized.

The former U.S. president, who is running for re-election, also assures that it was God who protected him from the inevitable and therefore "he does not intend to be afraid." Trump said that his decision to raise his hand when the Secret Service was escorting him off the stage was to let people know that he was okay. "And for America to keep going, we are moving forward, we are strong," he said.

"I knew the world was watching. I knew history would judge this and I knew I had to let them know that we were okay," Donald Trump emphasized.
