Former President Donald Trump made a public appearance at his first campaign event since the recent apparent assassination attempt against him. The event took place in a hockey arena in Flint, Michigan, where Trump walked out through the crowd, shaking hands with supporters. This was a departure from his usual rally entrance, where he typically waves to the crowd from an elevated platform without getting too close.
Accompanied by security agents, Trump walked down a pathway lined with metal barricades as people reached out to greet him and shake his hand. During the event, Trump engaged in conversation with Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, his former White House press secretary, who was hosting a town hall with Michigan voters. Sanders highlighted the various challenges that the left has posed to Trump, including impeachment attempts and the recent assassination plots.
Addressing the crowd, Trump made light of the dangers associated with his line of work, comparing it to race-car driving and bull-riding. The atmosphere at the event was charged with energy, as the attendees chanted 'fight, fight, fight,' a rallying cry that gained popularity following the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.
