Former President Donald Trump made a triumphant appearance at the “Believer’s Summit” in West Palm Beach, Florida, just days after surviving an assassination attempt. Addressing a crowd of supporters, Trump revealed that he had just removed the last bandage from his ear, which had been injured in the attack.
The event, hosted by Turning Point Action, focused on engaging voters of faith, with former HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson also speaking before Trump took the stage. Trump expressed his gratitude to the audience for their prayers and support during his recovery, attributing his survival to the power of prayer and the grace of God.
The crowd erupted into applause as Trump proudly showed off his healed ear, joking that he had removed the bandage specifically for the event. Dr. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s former White House doctor, released a statement earlier in the day confirming the former president’s rapid recovery from the gunshot wound.
The FBI also confirmed that the injury was caused by a bullet fired from the assailant’s rifle. Despite the harrowing ordeal, Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, are pressing on with their campaign, with a rally scheduled in St. Cloud, Minnesota the following day.
The resilience and determination displayed by Trump in the face of adversity have only served to bolster his supporters’ enthusiasm as the 2024 presidential race heats up.
