Former U.S. President Donald Trump released a new statement following an assassination attempt. Trump declared he is undeterred and will continue to confront his opponents, announcing plans to address the public in Wisconsin.

During a rally, Trump was shot in the ear. The incident, which sparked global condemnation, prompted Trump’s first statement: “When I heard a buzzing sound and gunshots, I immediately sensed something was wrong and felt the bullet graze my skin. There was significant bleeding, confirming what had occurred.”

Later, Trump posted another statement on his Truth social media account, reiterating his resolve not to be intimidated.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, as it was only God who prevented the unimaginable from happening. We will not be afraid; instead, we will remain resilient in our faith and challenge evil.
