King Charles reached out to former President Donald Trump after an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, July 13. The communication between the monarch and Trump will remain private, but sources indicate that Charles' sentiments echoed those of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who was "appalled" by the incident.
Over the weekend, Thomas Matthew Crooks, a resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, allegedly fired shots at Trump. Despite the near-death experience, Trump confirmed his intention to attend the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Wisconsin, as per OK! Magazine.
"Based on yesterday’s terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin and the Republican National Convention by two days, but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or a potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday, July 14.
Trump's campaign emphasized the importance of his attendance at the RNC. "In moments of tragedy and horror, we must be resolute in our mission to re-elect President Trump. It is our fervent hope that this horrendous act will bring our team, and indeed the nation, together in unity, and we must renew our commitment to safety and peace for our country," read an internal memo to campaign staffers.
"The RNC Convention will continue as planned in Milwaukee, where we will nominate our President to be the brave and fearless nominee of our Party. We appreciate your dedication and perseverance and are thankful for each and every one of you," the memo continued.
Following the incident, Trump called for unity among his supporters. “Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” he posted on Truth Social.
"In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win. I truly love our country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our great nation this week from Wisconsin," he added.
