Former President Donald Trump, speaking during a private event with supporters at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee on July 17, said that surviving an attempted assassination “changes your attitude” and that “you appreciate God even more,” according to a video published by PBS.

“This has been our best campaign and then I got shot. How does that happen?” he asked the audience. “But I got lucky, God was with me. I tell you.”
