Donald Trump says he 'took a bullet for democracy'

Donald Trump has told a rally in Michigan that he “took a bullet for democracy” when an attempt was made on his life last week.

Attended by thousands, it was Trump’s first rally with new running mate JD Vance - and first since he survived the assassination attempt.

He told a packed arena in Grand Rapids that Democrats have accused him of being “a threat to democracy” and, to huge applause, said he was ready to “take back the White House”.

Many of those at the event, in the battleground state of Michigan, told the BBC that the assassination attempt - which killed an audience member and wounded two others - would not stop them from showing support for the Republican presidential nominee.

Some said they came precisely because of the shooting.

*from democracy

Easy mistake for a senile old man to make

“He died for our sins.”

I didn’t ask him to do that.

I’m semantically torn here. He did (narrowly) take a bullet and shooting on politicians is an attack on Democracy. On the other hand he’s not exactly on friendly terms with this whole Democracy concept… In case of friendly fire, can you say you took a bullet for your enemy?

Whelp, anyone who took bets on him acting like a war hero over this can now go collect your winnings - which is just more listening to Trump unfortunately.

I thought you have already experience with trolls as your president. Ignore trolls and do whatever has more value to you.

Well he did say if he had been at the Parkland shooting, he would have co fronted the gunman himself.

Took a bullet implies he intentionally got shot…

xmunk ,

No it doesn’t. The saying is usually meant to signify that you intentions put yourself in danger and ended up getting shot.

Most soldiers that take a bullet for our country would much rather have not been shot but accepted that risk as reasonable.

Took a bullet usually not means “zipped past my ear and took a tiny bit of ear off”.
