Donald Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination for the third time Thursday night, less than a week after the attempt on his life.
“We rise together or we fall apart. I am running to be president for all of America,” Trump told the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. “There is no victory in winning for half of America.”
“I’m not supposed to be here tonight,” Trump said after recalling the details of the assassination attempt from his perspective.
The crowd responded, “Yes, you are.”
Trump, who was hit by a bullet that grazed his right ear, said: “I stand in this arena only by the grace of God.”
Trump noted that the Florida classified documents case against him was tossed by a federal judge Monday.
“We must not criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement, which is what’s been happening in our country lately,” Trump said.
He added: “In that spirit the Democrat party should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy. I am the one saving democracy.”
