Former President Donald Trump was shot during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, sending shockwaves through his supporters and the nation.

According to Donald Trump Jr., the attempt on his father's life left his family in a state of uncertainty for 90 minutes until he was finally able to confirm that his dad was alive, as Breitbart reports.

During this chaotic period, Trump Jr. experienced immense stress and anxiety as he awaited news of his father's condition.

Painful Waiting Game for Trump Family

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News at the Republican National Committee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trump Jr. opened up about the harrowing experience.

"He’s doing great," Trump Jr. explained to Washington Bureau chief Matthew Boyle, referring to his father's health. "Rough, somber moment. It was really crazy times."

Trump Jr. detailed the confusion following the incident, sharing, "I got a call, 'Your father’s been shot' - and? What do you mean? It took me 90 minutes to find out he was alive. I didn’t know. I couldn’t get through."

Uncertainty Amidst the Chaos

Trump Jr. was not the only family member affected. The entire Trump family, including Trump Jr.’s daughter Kai, found themselves caught in the turmoil.

In the wake of the trauma Kai Trump resolved to speak at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night.

Trump Jr. clarified that Kai’s speech at the convention was not a political strategy but a personal request. "She’s like, 'I have to speak; please can I?' And, so, I called him, and I was like, 'What do you think?'" he recounted.

Kai Trump’s Passionate Speech

Donald Trump Sr. was supportive of Kai’s desired involvement. "He’s like, 'Well that’s a big venue, but that kid’s a winner; let her do it.' And she absolutely crushed it," Trump Jr. remarked proudly.

The attempted assassination forced Donald Trump Sr. to alter his own convention speech significantly, a change that Trump Jr. acknowledged.

Trump Jr. admitted he had not yet seen the revised speech. "I spent like four hours with him on Friday, the day before he was shot. I went through his speech; it was more like his and mine kind of normal, like, 'fire' speech,” he said.

An Anticipated Unifying Message

"I know it’s entirely different, but, with the craziness of everything -- all of the media, all of my own speech, trying to help my daughter figure out what she was gonna do -- I haven’t even had a chance to see it," Trump Jr. continued. "So, I’m gonna see it for the first time with the rest of the world when he goes live tonight."

He expressed high expectations for his father’s speech, which was delivered Thursday night, suggesting it would carry a unifying message. "I think it’s much more a unifying message," he noted.

The emotional impact of the incident was palpable at the convention. "Walking up to grown men, you see them sort of well up in tears; it’s a special time right now," Trump Jr. observed.

A Profound Impact on the GOP

The assassination attempt has not only left a significant impact on the Trump family but also contributed to a sense of unity within the Republican Party.

According to Trump Jr., the shared experience brought attendees closer together. "A lot’s changed in the last couple of days, right? A lot changes once you get shot in the face," he remarked.

Trump Jr. said he was looking forward to his father’s speech and was hopeful it would resonate with everyone, reflecting the solidarity felt within the party.

In conclusion, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump Sr. during a campaign rally led to a tense period of uncertainty for his family. During an exclusive interview, Donald Trump Jr. expressed relief over his father's recovery and highlighted the emotional and unifying effect the incident had on his family and the Republican National Convention more broadly.
