As the crowd listened in silence, Trump recounted the harrowing experience, describing how he stood onstage in Butler, Pennsylvania, and turned his head to look at a chart on display when he felt something strike his ear. He raised his hand to his head and immediately saw it was covered in blood. “If I had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin’s bullet would have perfectly hit its mark,” Trump said. “And I would not be here tonight. We would not be together.”

Sensing political opportunity in the wake of his near-death experience, the typically bombastic Republican leader adopted a new tone, aiming to generate even more momentum in a shifting election. “The discord and division in our society must be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart,” Trump declared, wearing a large white bandage on his right ear, which he had all week to cover the wound sustained in the Saturday shooting. “I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.”
