Donald Trump has told a rally in Michigan that he "took a bullet for democracy" when an attempt was made on his life last week.

Attended by thousands, it was Trump's first rally with new running mate JD Vance - and first since he survived the assassination attempt.

He told a packed arena in Grand Rapids that Democrats have accused him of being "a threat to democracy" and, to huge applause, said he was ready to "take back the White House".

Many of those at the event, in the battleground state of Michigan, told the BBC that the assassination attempt - which killed an audience member and wounded two others - would not stop them from showing support for the Republican presidential nominee.

Some said they came precisely because of the shooting.

Maybe we can convince them that he is so that they won't vote?

Who am I kidding, they would absolutely vote for the corpse of Trump.

Violence wont solve any problems. It will create more chaos and serve to propel and promote the agents of chaos.

You want something to do/talk about? Talk about what policies from the Dems will be most effective in the next 3 - 6 months with immediate benefits for the 95% of people.

Do the thing where every State gets benefits that expire after the election and can be "renewed" after Jan2025.

Do the thing that will uplift people who are struggling right now for the next 5 to 6 months.

STOP the Drumpf rhetoric. STOP treating people as if they are stupid. STOP this madness. STOP the chaos.

Only agents of chaos will win post Nov2024 unless something Sane and Calming is implemented NOW or YESTERDAY.

Chaos wins because it makes more money for those who think human lives are just another column in a spreadsheet.
