In his first public appearance after an assassination attempt on Saturday, Trump arrived at the Republican National Convention on Monday night. His right ear was bandaged from the bullet wound sustained at a rally in Butler, PA.

Trump pointed to his ear as he appeared in the tunnel to roars and laughs from the crowd. Donald Trump Jr. wept as his father entered to a live performance of “I’m Proud to Be An American” by Lee Greenwood. Outside the Fiserv center, thunder rolled. The crowd chanted “USA! USA! USA!” just as they did moments after Trump threw his fist in the air after the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

Trump made his way across the floor and greeted his new running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), as well as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Rep. Byron Donalds, and Tucker Carlson in the president’s booth.
