Former US President Donald Trump, who is running for president, held his first open-air campaign rally since the assassination attempt on Wednesday, August 21, in the city of Asheboro, North Carolina. For safety, he surrounded himself with bulletproof glass, Liter.kz reports, citing news.com.
Bulletproof glass was installed around the entire podium. However, despite the security measures, Trump came out from behind the glass and even hugged one of the women who came to the rally, who felt ill because of the heat. He asked for medical assistance for her, and then returned to the podium to loud applause.
In his speech in North Carolina, Trump again lashed out at his Democratic rival, US Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her “the most radical left-wing figure” to ever run for US president.
“If Comrade Kamala wins in November, World War III is virtually inevitable,” Donald Trump was quoted as saying by the media.
Let us recall that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 13. The former US president received a gunshot wound to the ear during a speech to voters, and another spectator died. The attacker, Matthew Cruz, was eliminated on the spot by special services. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev strongly condemned the assassination attempt on the former US president.
