One of those present at the demonstration felt ill and cries were heard from the crowd: “Ambulance, we need an ambulance.”
Trump, hearing this, immediately stopped his speech and turned his attention to what was happening. Accompanied by bodyguards, he left the stage and headed to the scene of the incident. At that moment, medics were already providing assistance to the victim. When Trump approached, the man stood up and the politician spoke briefly with him before hugging him.
The rally marked Trump’s first major outdoor public appearance since July 14, when he was assassinated. The bullet then passed close to his head and hit his ear. As a result, the event in North Carolina implemented heightened security measures, including the installation of bulletproof glass.
In his speech, Trump criticized the foreign policy of current President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. He called the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan “a damage to America’s reputation” and stressed that the Taliban had acquired a significant arsenal of weapons. Trump also reiterated that he could end the war in Ukraine with “one phone call.”

In addition, information has recently emerged that US presidential candidate Donald Trump has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to abandon the agreement on the release of hostages and a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. According to sources, this is due to concerns that the successful completion of negotiations could improve Kamala Harris’s chances of winning the presidential race.
