Former President Donald Trump has arrived in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention a day after he was targeted in an attempted assassination at a campaign event.
Trump's airplane touched down Sunday, the day before the four-day event kicks off with thousands of Republicans coming together to formally elect him as their 2024 presidential nominee.
The shocking scenes of violence at his Saturday campaign rally that injured his right ear, killed a spectator and injured another set a dark backdrop for the convention, which is typically four days of party pageantry, political speeches, policy platforms and the presidential nominee's keynote address.
The attack on Trump has put a heightened focus on safety and security of the event.
The former president said in a social media post earlier Sunday that he was going to delay his trip by two days because of the attempted assassination “but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else.”
Trump is not expected to speak at the RNC until Thursday night.

Trump descended the steps of his jet and pumped his fist three times. He was greeted by U.S. Air Force members, according to a social media post by a campaign official.

Praying Wisconsin can keep President in Exile Trump SAFE! My cousin is in the FBI and is part of the Security Team for this event.
Believe me, everyone in my family has ramped up our prayers since yesterday!
MAGA! Trump LANDSLIDE 2024! I will post Wisconsin articles as I can about the convention, but others please feel free to do so, too! It’s a busy week ahead for me; have family visiting, house guests, etc.
Hopefully, there will be new and different security measures taken for every Trump campaign stop. I thought he was already employing his own personal security detail. Maybe there are rules that usually prevent that. Time to update those rules, starting yesterday!
So iconic, inspiring image
Two songs suggested for his political rallies.

And a suggestion for biden’s convention, ‘Still crazy after all these years’
“Trump descended the steps of his jet and pumped his fist three times.”
There is no stopping this guy. The leftists are terrified.
“Turn out the lights, the party’s over”.
HT for Willie Nelson.
Thank you. Guard our Warrior well!
I went to Marquette, married a man from Fox Point, went to the Wisconsin Club for many gatherings and my failed attempt at bowling. Great that your cousin is in the FBI, and look forward to your updates.
Do you know any lawyers there? My two reasonable Dem friends want to know whether Biden’s comment about Trump makes him culpable for attempt on Trump’s life:
“So we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump In the crosshairs.”
Yes, he really said that.
Those oxygen thieves need to be in the welfare line - along with their boss.
I thought the word was “target.”
We are reading different sources then. Either way, same meaning.
I think it was “ ...put a bullseye on...“
“So, we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
