FORMER US PRESIDENT Donald Trump appeared at the Republican National Convention with a bandage over his right ear, two days after surviving an attempted assassination.
Delegates cheered wildly as Trump appeared onscreen backstage and then emerged to the tune of God Bless The USA.
Trump did not address the convention with his acceptance speech scheduled for Thursday.
His appearance came hours after jubilant delegates nominated the former president to lead their ticket for a third time and welcomed Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate.
The former president announced his choice of his running mate on his Truth Social platform as delegates in Milwaukee were voting on his nomination.
He hit the necessary threshold with votes from his home state of Florida, announced by his son Eric.
“We must unite as a party, and we must unite as a nation,” said Republican Party chairman Michael Whatley, Trump’s hand-picked party leader, as he opened last night’s primetime national convention session.
“We must show the same strength and resilience as President Trump and lead this nation to a greater future.”
But Whatley and other Republican leaders made clear their calls for harmony did not extend to President Joe Biden and Democrats.
“Their policies are a clear and present danger to America, to our institutions, our values and our people,” said Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, welcoming the party to his battleground state, which Trump won in 2016 but lost to Biden four years ago.

Luv how they post all by name in coolock court attendants but when certain people engage in criminal activity it’s a blank????
@peter willekens: what “certain people” – anyone who is charged and appears in court is named, with some exceptions, such as to protect the identity of the alleged victim or in certain sexual assault cases
@William Slevin: his name is Riad Bouchaker and he was named when he first appeared in court, just like the people that you and the OP are so upset about
@SYaxJ2Ts: he wasn’t named when it happened though was he, if he was irish it would be plastered every where and I was on about the deranged msm at all points of a crime from when it happens…
@William Slevin: but but but……he was named when he appeared in court, just like the patriots in Coolock
@William Slevin: it’s to stop the hard of thinking nongs who dislike those from another country just because they look different from losing their tiny minds
@Faejit Balloobas: OK establishment loyalist, its not because it would rightly so cause a backlash against mass immigration that the establishment and government are so desperate to keep because it makes the insanely wealthy at the expense of the irish people, the majority of the foreigner population is a burden on the irish nation, their not an asset to the irish people their a burden…the sheer number of them is and going to destroy the irish nation…not because of their ethnicity, race or creed, but by the sheer number of them…we should never have taken them in, in the first place, some yes but not en mass…again mass immigration only benefits the establishment wealthy and government not the irish people.
@William Slevin: Are you paid by the word or the Article? Obvious shill is Obvious
@SYaxJ2Ts: ill concede that point of the courts for now, but they should be reported on the deranged msm like everyone else…by the way you still can’t talk away that coveny projects an extra million increase from population increase due to mass immigration and that tcd professor who predicts us irish will be a minority in our own country by 2050 which will be an increase of about 5 million foreigners…that WILL destroy the irish nation…
@FoxyBoiiYT: just ensuring the facts combat the misinformation and disinformation from establishment loyalist commentary on here…
@jak: what’s wrong with Bradford?
Seriously is there no one else to run for president other than these 2??? This job is for a man or woman half Biden and Trumps age
@lucia: Kennedy at 43 described the pressures of the presidency as immense, I can only imagine what it is doing to two very old men.
@lucia: USA is ran by the lobby groups anyway, all the two old geezers need to do is stand up and prattle out whatever script is written for them
@Dave Lawlor: hold on. I thought Trump was working day and night to help out the working man!
I mean, none of said working men who cheer for him can clarify exactly anything he does specifically for them but hey, he’s their man.
@Ciaran Foster:they support their candidates like their football teams over there and donate money to them too. I guess it’s the feel good factor they get if their candidate wins. Cause Trump or Biden don’t give a flying fk about the American minions after the elections. We’d never be like that over here on such a scale as it is in America
@lucia: they had no problem with Biden for the last 4 years and it’s not like he only started making gaffs yesterday. Let’s be honest the left would settle for another 4 of biden, wearing a nappy, dribbling and just staring at a camera than have Trump as President. They can’t cope with it. It’s a mental thing. They were out throwing stones and rioting even before his inauguration.
that country is a circus, god help them
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: the unfortunate thing is it doesn’t just affect them….
@Thomas Meaney: Jesus Tom, even you could shoot better that yougfella, should have been trained by the FCA
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: God gave them Free Will, but Couldn’t give them All Common Sense!
Christ its insane that this man is the only option for this party.
This is genuinely starting to look like a comedy movie.
Only in the USA .
The Chinese have already sent their support. Or it is Chinese humour, or they just know the outcome and already know how to handle his ego.
Because he has a long memory and he will go after those who went after him. Remember that everything Obama did was destroyed only because Obama humiliated him during a speech among the “elites”
@Dominic Leleu: I disagree in part about Trump having a long memory and going after those that went after him. Look at his running mate, JD Vance who called him America’s Hitler. Now he’s going to be the next Vice President and a strong consider for a future president if he doesn’t nothing too you-know-what.
The Dons en route to the White House and Clare to the Liam McCarthy.Could there be big celebrations in West Clare or could (the rebels) Cork spoil the party.
Vincent Van Trump! : – )
Poor Willie Slevin blames foreign people for the utter failure in life that he is. Look around little Willie and you will see that the vast majority of people have made good choices and have a decent life. The foreign people didn’t hold them back. You are the failure. Take responsibility and own your life. Stop blaming your failure on others.
Could the sqare bandage be any more prominent.
No flesh coloured ones available.
He wears it like a badge of honour.
Even if the bullet had been further to the right it wouldn’t have done much damage as his brain is in his ar*e
Pity he missed the world would be a better place if trump was dead
Bring back Lee Harvey Oswald!! Never misses
@Philip Curran: Who Says it was Oswald???
@jak:
How many days are you going to spin that joke?
We heard it on day 1.
I have done it myself and I will never do it again I will only post to the relative subject matter that it headlines and concerns.
So this one is the subject matter
Thank you.
No he shouted “Donald!duck!!”,trump said “where?”bang!!
