Speaking as he prepared to board a flight to the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he is expected to be confirmed as the party's candidate for president, Mr Trump said he now had a "chance to bring the country together".

He said his speech would now be completely different instead of the "humdinger" aimed mostly at current President Joe Biden's policies he had previously planned.

“Had [Saturday's attack] not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches.

“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together.”

Not sure about "only" but they're certainly few and far between. And unlike this idiot who's , I guess , a front runner for his VP. This type of language is how we got here.

This tweet / statement popped up on the news thus morning while I was waiting to see the weather forecast.

Isn't that also the central premise of the Trump campaign minus the must be stopped part?

Wasn't it the central premise of the republican campaign that lead directly to the attempted assassination of Nancy Pelosi?

Like that argument doesnt hold up because theres probably a lot of folks who have wanted Trump dead since at least the 80s. Him being an authoritarian shitheel is just another piece of wood on the fire.

I seem to remember that being the central premise of Vance's own previous statements as well.

Did JD Vance inspire a Pennsylvanian incel to try to assassinate Trump?

o ya I'm p sure Biden said something along the lines of "if [the other guy] wins, you won't have a country anymore", right?
