having left hospital without any serious injury, mr trump returned to his home in new jersey. and a few hours later, through to milwaukee for the republican national convention — a gathering of the party which is expected to confirm him as their presidential nominee. he talked about the moments before he was hit in an interview with the washington examiner. he said "i really look away from the crowd. had i not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?" he also referred to his gesture to his supporters. "it is hard to describe what that felt like," he said, "but i knew that the world was watching. i knew that history would judge this and i knew that i had to let them know we are ok." as final

preparations were being made for the convention, he told the new york post "i am not supposed to be here. i am supposed to be here. i am supposed to be dead."i supposed to be dead." i personally tweeted that this was divine intervention and that has been just repeated over and over and over. something had to be — and then there was this picture of the flag that got twisted in the wind that looked like an angel and there are just different things, and itjust depends if you are a person of faith, if you are a person of faith, if you are, then you very much subscribed to that, and if you are not a person of faith, then you might be one of these people that has been calling it a staged event or something else. how many people believe that this is divine intervention? well, i don't know how many people believe it right now. know how many people believe it riaht now. ., , know how many people believe it riaht now. .,, . ., right now. people close to donald trump _ right now. people close to donald trump are - right now. people close to donald trump are already|

their training instantly kicked in. they knew what the shot was and they were on that stage before mr trump hit the ground. they got all on top of him, which is creating this blanket of security, so if any other shots came in, they would take the shot, mr trump. there was a slight pause. obviously, there was a bit of panic with everyone. the vehicle is then brought into the left—hand side of the stage. my only criticism at this stage is that what i believe they should have done — and it is easy for me that you're this this — but what they should have done is drag him off that stage so he was behind with the lectern was on the grass. from that way, he is hidden from view so if there is any more snipers, they can't see where he is. what happens is that mr trump stands up. he is that mr trump stands up. he is asking about "can he get his shoes" they are surrounding him like a turtle shell. but that

he raises his head above them, because he is a big guy, and he puts his arm in the air. if there was another sniper there, this is where the problem would happen so they needed to get him off the stage much, much quicker and get him in the vehicle. there is no time to be waving your head or wanting to do a speech or shouting out. sometimes, with clients, it is very difficult because the tail sometimes wags the dog, and in this case, they had let mr trump have his day but what they should have done was off that stage, in the vehicle and driven. ~ . . that stage, in the vehicle and driven. ~ ., , ., ~ driven. we are still working thi’outh driven. we are still working through the _ driven. we are still working through the security - driven. we are still working i through the security apparatus that the — through the security apparatus that the secret service had in place. — that the secret service had in place, but potentially happen. there — place, but potentially happen. there is — place, but potentially happen. there is going to be a long investigation into what took place — investigation into what took place in _ investigation into what took place in how the individual was able _ place in how the individual was able to— place in how the individual was able to get access to the location, what type of weapon he had — location, what type of weapon he had. all of that is days, weeks _ he had. all of that is days, weeks and months of investigation.-

it is 43 years since the last assassination attempt on a us president. ronald reagan was shotin president. ronald reagan was shot in washington, dc in march of 1981. shot in washington, dc in march of1981. four shot in washington, dc in march of 1981. four presidents in the history of the republic had died by the assassin's bullet. the pennsylvania shooting is a timely reminder that all us presidents face a lifelong threat. with november's presidential election looming, many americans are fearful on the likely impact on the race. observers have mixed views about what difference it will make. i about what difference it will make. ~ . . about what difference it will make. ~ , ., ., ., , make. i think it is a dangerous moment- _ make. i think it is a dangerous moment- i _ make. i think it is a dangerous moment. i mean, _ make. i think it is a dangerous moment. i mean, i— make. i think it is a dangerous moment. i mean, ithink- make. i think it is a dangerous moment. i mean, i think this. moment. i mean, ithink this will — it already is, if you spend any time on twitter or x — that it is fuelling

conspiracy theories. it is not unimaginable that this will embolden some people who think that political violence is an appropriate strategy. i don't think, though, that fundamentally this will change voters' attitudes towards trump. i think so much of that is baked in. there are people who are strong supporters of donald trump. this is only going to energise them. and then there are people that are strongly opposed to donald trump. i don't think this is going to fundamentally move them. the one group that is unclear to me them. the one group that is unclearto me in them. the one group that is unclear to me in all this is what pollsters call the double haters in the united states. so, these are voters that are —

they are frustrated. they dislike both donald trump and joe biden. it would not surprise me if there is some movement in this group and if that gets reflected in the national polls in general. i think one of the consequences is to— think one of the consequences is to reinforce the sense that i think— is to reinforce the sense that i think american eyes have been developing over the last decade or so— developing over the last decade or so that — developing over the last decade or so that the us really is an incredibly— or so that the us really is an incredibly polarised society. it is — incredibly polarised society. it is one _ incredibly polarised society. it is one where violence is increasingly prevalent. there is such a stark _ increasingly prevalent. there is such a stark level- increasingly prevalent. there is such a stark level of- is such a stark level of polarisation between these two sides, the right at the left of american politics in this. it is almost baked in instability. this is a real battle of worldviews between the two sides of the kind we are not used to seeing in american politics. used to seeing in american olitics. ~ . . politics. well, it is much bi . . er politics. well, it is much bigger because - politics. well, it is much bigger because it - politics. well, it is much bigger because it says . bigger because it says something about what is going on with—
