Trump to Hold First Rally Post-Attack in Michigan
Former President Donald Trump has announced that he will hold his first rally after the assassination attempt on him. The event is scheduled for this Saturday in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and he will be accompanied by the newly appointed vice president, JD Vance.
Details of the Assassination Attempt
In the 48 hours leading up to the attack on Trump, Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from suburban Pittsburgh, made several stops, including a shooting range and a Home Depot where he purchased a ladder. Crooks then attended Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, with an improvised explosive device hidden in his car. He used a ladder to scale a nearby building and opened fire on Trump. Despite a thorough investigation, authorities have yet to determine Crooks' motives, finding no evidence of political or ideological reasons.
The Republican Party Convention and Legal Victory
The Republican Party convention in Milwaukee opened with a minute's silence for the victims of the assassination attempt. During the convention, it was announced that JD Vance would be Trump's vice-presidential candidate. Additionally, Trump secured a legal victory when a district judge in Florida dismissed the case against him regarding the illegal possession of classified documents. This ruling has bolstered Trump's position, with him calling for the closure of all legal cases against him. Elon Musk also announced a significant financial contribution to Trump's campaign, further solidifying support from influential figures.
