Trump holds rally with heavy security after being attacked – Diario La Página – 2024-08-23 14:57:59

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held his first outdoor rally in Asheboro, North Carolina, since his July 13 shooting in Pennsylvania.

This time, the former US president appeared on stage with reinforced security and protected by bulletproof glass.

Through a live broadcast of the event, it was possible to observe that Trump abandoned the precautionary measures for a moment, to hug a woman in the audience, because she had felt unwell in the middle of the crowd.

With national security as the central theme, the Republican took the opportunity to argue that the United States was stronger under his leadership. He also stressed that wars such as the one in Ukraine would not have happened if he had remained in power.

“My attitude kept us out of wars. I stopped wars with phone calls,” he said.

In this regard, he said that the current president Joe Biden and the vice president (and Trump’s rival in the elections) Kamala Harris “are taking us to the precipice of World War III.”
