Speaking as he prepared to board a flight to the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he is expected to be confirmed as the party's candidate for president, Mr Trump said he now had a "chance to bring the country together".

He said his speech would now be completely different instead of the "humdinger" aimed mostly at current President Joe Biden's policies he had previously planned.

“Had [Saturday's attack] not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches.

“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together.”

"I'm supposed to be dead" says Trump. "No one should be able to eat the number of cheeseburgers I eat and still be alive."

"My doctor says you have the ~~highest~~ greatest LDL count of any president ever." "Lipitor, sweet lipitor, isn't it great folks, eat all the McDonald's you could ever want, take one little pill and it all washes away, right into the toilet that won't flush, 7-8 times you have to flush that thing."

Basically, a massive narcissist was just martyred by someone in his own party. The narcissism will be even further off the charts now. His already unbearable cult of personality will got so far past 11, it’s going to be so much worse.

The optimist in me was so hoping Trump would see the error of his ways after his life was tried and another made forfeit in his stead.

Motherfucker still talking about himself. God damnit. I had a hopeful moment, my bad. Back to Plan A: Big ballsy Biden's bountiful bouquet of blissful banter.

Which, I might add, is currently surrounded by the lackluster looming laughable languid leftist lobotomy of a circus performance, and I'm not only referring to the politicians. stares

I’ll believe it when I see it. The only thing he’s ever been able to unify is an angry mob

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

What? That wasn't him, it was ANTIFA. One big liberal conspiracy. The only conservatives in the crowd that day were tourists who were innocently shunted along into the building. They never intended to go inside, it was the fault of ANTIFA and the woke liberal mob.

It's a sad day for everyone, stop rubbing it in.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 62 points 3 months ago

Yeah that's what a lot of us have been saying for years, but you're wretched, putrid old heart just keeps ticking along and making everybody's lives hell.

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

I'm so sure THIS is the thing that is going to unify our country around a common cause. Yep, just like a lighter unites gasoline and wood.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

So you're saying you're going against God's will?

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 38 points 3 months ago

Is he going to play the "like Jesus, I died and resurrected from the dead, I'm your saviour" card?

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 52 points 3 months ago

He's gonna say he's better then Lincoln because Lincoln didn't survive being shot in the head.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I think there's no chance he won't say it at some point. His supporters will love it.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

I wonder if he wants to go to the Ford theatre and get point blanked by an 1800s pistol?

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago
[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

will he also play the 'fucked off to heaven 3 days later' card?

[-] dezmd@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together.”

Anyone else worried that his definition of brining 'the country together' may be more along the lines of trying to instigate coordinated violence against his perceived enemies and adversaries?

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

He’s made it quite clear that there’s “his country” and those that don’t belong in it.

[-] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 28 points 3 months ago

Just an inch to the side and this nightmare would finally have a beginning act of the end of the party of Trump.

Simpsons did make a prediction for September though so my hopes are not dead

[-] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

End of the party of Trump, maybe. They'd still probably invoke his name at every opportunity.

End of the party of fascism and nihilistic corruption? No way, he's a figurehead there.

What is The Simpsons prophesy this time?

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

He dies in September 2024

[-] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 7 points 3 months ago

I don't know tbh, but a bunch of Simpsons fans are mentioning there's a prediction for Trump in September and I don't have my life together enough to go and look it up

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Didnt hitler survive multiple near death situations?

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 months ago

He also fought in the streets against the communists with a whip and a handgun. Guy was a fuckin monster, but he wasn't like the pussy ass American wannabe fascist dictator.

[-] ulkesh@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

If only…but I want it to be after he’s in prison.

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I don't want to give him ideas but could he sue the government for failing to secure his speech area and protect him?

[-] Somethingcheezie@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Most police forces removed the “protect and serve” because of court cases
