Former U.S. President Donald Trump has thanked well-wishers on Sunday (July 14) on his social media website Truth Social, after he was shot in the ear in an attempted assassination during a campaign rally.
“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” he wrote in his Truth Social post.
“In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined,” Trump said.
It is his second post since he was shot and injured at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday (July 13).
Saturday’s attack on Trump that will likely reshape this year’s U.S. presidential race while raising sharp questions about security provided to the Republican candidate.
One person who attended the rally was killed and two other spectators were critically wounded, the Secret Service said.
“Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed…I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin,” he wrote.
Trump said he looks forward to speaking from Wisconsin where the Republican National Convention will be held this week.
