Assassination Attempt
Trump described the assassination attempt. But most importantly, he brought Corey Comperatore’s firefighting uniform.
The shooter murdered Corey and injured two more, who are thankfully recovering: David Dutch and James Copenhaver.
Trump shares his recollection of the assassination attempt on his life.
Towards the ends, he said, "if I had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin's bullet would have perfectly hit its mark and I would not be here tonight." pic.twitter.com/8BsqFkLT55

This tribute from Trump to the late Corey Compertore, those injured, and their loved ones is beyond powerful. This moment will go down in the annals of American political history.

Comments
The opening of the speech was powerful because you could hear in his voice that knowledge that he was very close to being a dead man. That he knows that a slight turn of the head is all that stood between him and a funeral.
That’s not something you can fake.
Very low key for those used to his stump, which was fine considering all things. Time to take back America!
I don’t care for crowd chants myself, but totally understand why a crowd will chant when the opportunity shows.
Trump gave a Reagan speech tonight, possibly the best I’ll hear in my lifetime.
I got stuck listening to PBS and their panel, and I was stunned to hear them talk about his “litany of lies.” Well, I simultaneously watched the Politifact “fact checking,” and they had about three things, mostly about exaggerations.
Then they said to compare Biden’s disastrous debate performance to this speech, which they called “rambling and attacking,” with him being self absorbed etc. Do they not recall that Pres. Trump was also at that debate? Trump WON on performance, content and maturity. Biden was a trainwreck, to be kind.
They also noted that at 90 minutes, it was the longest presidential acceptance speech. Think Biden could do this??
The finished by saying that he resorted to his standard attack mode at the end, and that Democrats should “reconsider pulling Biden.”
The leftists at PBS and elsewhere never disappoint. They disgust, but don’t disappoint.
It will be interesting to see how they rate, and “fact check” Biden’s acceptance. Or Kamala’s, if they pull the vegetable.
Yes. Democrats please reconsider yanking Biden. Keep him in all the way to voting day.
They know the RINOs are too cowardly to ever pull PBS funding.
They talk to themselves, and have TDS, which manifests in a variety of ways.
They are too dumb to understand he was shot 5 days ago, as if it had no effect, in their condescending criticism.
“They also noted that at 90 minutes, it was the longest presidential acceptance speech. Think Biden could do this??”
Certainly. But it still would be only 75 words long.
Now THAT’S funny!
Coffee up my nose!! (at least it wasn’t wasted!)
You have to bear in mind that the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party is not there to report the facts, but to script the headlines that the NPCs will read and believe.
Its ALWAYS about the Narrative, which is the reality they create for the ignorant and gullible.
I wonder how Leslie feels about Trumps military comments.
Can you say “poor taste”? I knew you could.
.
A better question: how do YOU feel about them?
I bet the Left will try to evoke the fireman’s kit as a version of Horst Weasel and the blutfahne.
During the speech, there were some big name journos – NYT, WaPo reporters and the like – using Twitter to make a big deal out of fireman’s name being spelled incorrectly on his fire jacket, the implication being the Trump campaign screwed it up somehow. The reality is that was the ACTUAL fire jacket, sent from his old fire station. It’s spelled ‘incorrectly’ because the patch was only so long and with the size of the letters they use, they could only put so many letters on the patch. This is something any half-witted journalist could have immediately discovered for themselves if they had only taken a few seconds to look at the scores of recent stories on the event about the firefighter that included photos of an impromptu memorial his old fire station sat outside their station that featured the very same jacket – with ‘misspelling’ – that was next to Trump on that stage. These people are horrible.
On the one hand we have Carter’s malaise speech and on the other we have Trump’s acceptance speech. On the one hand we have the hateful lunatics at MSNBC and PBS and on the other we have Fox News. What startling but unsurprising contrasts.
The RNC was one of the most inspirational events I’ve ever seen and, like many here, I was born soon after World War 2. The Bride, who normally eschews anything remotely like political events, watched it mostly nonstop from Monday night through last night (Thursday). We no longer have a depressed anticipation for the nation’s future. Now Trump and Vance have to live through the election, inauguration, and the next four-plus years. Satan is screaming and plotting.
.
The contrast is both striking and disgusting.
The electoral map is looking uncharacteristically propitious, for the GOP (for a change).
Playing around on 270towin’s website, I contrived the following worst-case scenario, that still sees Trump-Vance winning the race by reaping exactly 270 electoral votes. This assumes no split-state electoral vote awards, which obviously can potentially complicate things.
The Dhimmi-crat candidate, whether dotard/crime boss, Biden or crone-harlot, Kamala, wins the following states:
HI, WA, OR, CA, NV, AZ, NM, CO, MN, WI, IL, MI, VA, DC, MD, DE, NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, VT, NH and ME.
Obviously, I hope that President Trump wins one or more of NJ, NY, NH, VA, NV and AZ, but, to err on the side of pessimism/conservation, I gave all of those states to the Dhimmi-crat candidate. And, the good news is, even with that concession, President Trump still wins; again, assuming no split-state electoral vote awards.
It was a good speech and an impressive performance, especially for a guy that nearly had his head blown off a week earlier
To say the least; yeah.
