With a bandaged ear
Trump appears in public for the first time after assassination attempt
Two days after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a campaign event in the US state of Pennsylvania, the 78-year-old presidential candidate has made his first public appearance. At the Republican nomination convention, a bandaged Trump stood next to his vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance and was cheered.
While Trump raised his fist in the air, the crowd chanted: "Fight, fight, fight!" These were also the billionaire real estate tycoon's first words after the shooting on Saturday, as he was escorted off the stage by security guards, bleeding. Trump was accompanied by his family. The Republican has not yet spoken to his party colleagues. He will give his eagerly awaited speech - modified after the attack - at a later date.
Because of the bandage, Trump's right ear, which had been grazed by a bullet from the assassin's gun, could not be seen. However, a doctor treating Trump was quoted in the US media as saying: "The bullet only tore away a small part of the upper auricle. The wound has bled a lot, but everything will be okay."
Financial support from Elon Musk
Meanwhile, it has become known that tech billionaire Elon Musk wants to provide massive financial support for Trump's election campaign. Musk wants to contribute around 45 million dollars (around 41 million euros) a month to a pro-Trump super PAC, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. According to the report, Musk has already made an unspecified donation to the America PAC.
The Bloomberg agency also reported last week that Musk had made a donation to the Trump support group. However, the native South African does not appear in a list of donations submitted by the group on Monday, which shows income of more than eight million dollars.
