(New York Post) Former President Donald Trump revealed Sunday that he’s altering his upcoming speech at the Republican National Convention and his remarks will now focus on uniting the country after surviving an assassination attempt.
The 45th president told The Post Sunday he “threw away” an “extremely tough speech” to make way for the new approach following Saturday’s shooting at his Pennsylvania rally.
Trump, 78, will deliver the speech Thursday when he formally accepts the Republican Party’s nomination for president at the convention.
“I want to try to unite our country,” he said aboard his private jet en route to Milwaukee. “But I don’t know if that’s possible. People are very divided.”
“I had all prepared an extremely tough speech, really good, all about the corrupt, horrible administration,” he told The Post in reference to the Biden White House. “But I threw it away.”
Trump was nearly killed at the rally when a gunman shot him in the ear.
