Trump Offers Update on Recovery from Rally Injury

 July 28, 2024

Former President Donald Trump announced his recovery from an assassination attempt nearly two weeks prior during the Believer's Summit hosted by Turning Point Action, revealing that he "just took off the last bandage."

Trump shared his shockingly rapid recuperation progress -- as confirmed by his doctor -- as well as his gratitude at the faith-based event, while also taking aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, as Fox News reports.

The former president addressed a crowd of his supporters, explaining that he had removed the final bandage from his ear specifically for the occasion.

The Believer's Summit, which took place in West Palm Beach, centered on engaging voters of faith and saw several notable speakers, including Dr. Ben Carson, the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development, whose speech preceded Trump's at the event.

Expressions of Gratitude and Resilience

In his speech, Trump conveyed gratitude for the prayers and support he received following the assassination attempt. "I really did appreciate it," he told the crowd, acknowledging the importance of their support during his recovery.

Trump explained that the power of prayer and the grace of God played a significant role in his healing process. "I stand before you tonight, thanks to the power of prayer and the grace of Almighty God," he remarked.

He provided an update on his health, assuring the audience that he was recovering well after the incident. "As I think you can see, I've recovered well. And, in fact, I just took off the last bandage off of my ear," he shared.

Details of the Assassination Attempt

The shocking assassination attempt took place on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. According to Dr. Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician, Trump was struck by a bullet, either whole or fragmented, from the assailant's rifle. The FBI confirmed the specifics of the shooting, noting that Trump sustained a gunshot wound to his right ear.

Dr. Jackson, who released a letter updating on Trump’s health, reassured the public about the former president's condition.

"I want to reassure the American people and the rest of the world that President Trump is doing extremely well," he stated. He emphasized that Trump was rapidly recovering from his injury and that updates would be provided as necessary.

Trump Critiques Vice President Harris

During his address, Trump also took the opportunity to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris, describing her as "a bum" and criticizing her performance as the border czar. "Three weeks ago, she was a bum, a failed vice president, and a failed administration with millions of people crossing," he commented.

Trump continued his critique of Harris, seemingly dismissing the significance of mispronouncing her name.

"If radical liberal Kamala Harris gets in, and by the way, there are numerous ways of saying her name," he said. "Doesn't matter what I say. I couldn't care less if I mispronounced it or not. I couldn't care less."

Looking Ahead: St. Cloud Rally

As Trump continues his campaign efforts, he and his running mate J.D. Vance are scheduled to make an appearance at a campaign rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Saturday. This rally marks one of the first major public events since Trump’s recovery announcement, underscoring his return to active campaign activities.

The support shown by voters of faith at the Believer’s Summit highlights the continued influence and engagement of this demographic within Trump's base. The event provided a platform for Trump to connect with his supporters, share his recovery journey, and address key political issues.

Conclusion

Former President Donald Trump declared his full recovery from an attempted assassination at the Believer's Summit, thanking his supporters for their prayers and support.

His speech included sharp criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris and emphasized his resilience in the face of adversity. The former president's upcoming campaign activities reflect his determination to continue engaging with voters ahead of the upcoming elections.

In summary, Trump’s recovery and return to public life were pivotal moments at the faith event. The former president's ability to connect with his audience and address significant issues underscored his ongoing influence in the political landscape.
