Crowd Reacts When Trump Makes Appearance At RNC
Former President Donald Trump made a dramatic entrance at the Republican National Convention on Monday, just a few days after surviving an assassination attempt at his rally in Pennsylvania. Sporting a white bandage over his right ear, Trump was met with enthusiastic chants of "USA!" and "Fight! Fight! Fight!" from the crowd.

Earlier in the day, Trump had announced his choice of Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate for the upcoming November presidential election. This announcement came a little over 48 hours after the tragic incident at his Pennsylvania rally, where firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed, and Trump, along with two others, was wounded.
Trump's entrance at the convention was nothing short of his usual rally spectacle. As Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" played, cheers and applause filled the room, with some attendees shouting "Fight!" in support of the former president. Trump walked in with a bandage over his ear, a stark reminder of the recent attempt on his life.

Greg Price captured the moment on X, posting, “President Donald J. Trump enters the RNC less than 72 hours after surviving an assassination attempt. This is so awesome. Absolute boss.” The crowd's energy was palpable, and as Greenwood introduced Trump and saluted him, the chants of "USA! USA! USA!" grew even louder.
Trump, embodying his resilient persona, joined in the chants before the next speaker was introduced. The audience's chant of "Fight! Fight! Fight!" echoed Trump's own reaction immediately after the attempt on his life. Within moments of being tackled to the ground by the Secret Service, Trump had fought his way to his feet, raising his fist and shouting, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
