Days after accepting the Republican nod for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, former President Donald Trump held his first campaign appearance in Michigan’s Grand Rapids. At a rally, Trump spoke about the assassination attempt against him, where it was reported that he was lightly injured. “I took a bullet for democracy,” he told the cheering crowd.
Referring to the incident that had happened at a rally in Pennsylvania a week before, Former President Trump said, “They keep saying I’m a threat to democracy. But last week, I took a bullet for democracy.” The attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania cost him a slight gunshot wound at the upper part of his right ear.
Details on Trump’s Injury and Recovery
A recent health update from Texas Representative Ronny Jackson, who served as a White House physician to Trump, had more details of his injuries. The gunshot wound was reportedly about 2 cm in width and did not require any sutures. He was first taken to Butler Memorial Hospital and was checked for any other possible injuries, including a CT scan. He still bleeds intermittently but is recuperating.

Trump returned to full-time campaign mode, sporting a smaller beige bandage on his ear, compared to the larger white one he had worn when appearing at the Republican National Convention.
Rally Highlights and Remarks
Trump said he believes in democracy, and Democrats have portrayed him as somebody he is not. He also dissociated himself from Project 2025, a conservative policy manifesto associated with the Heritage Foundation, claiming that he had never heard of the plan.
In a related event, Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance made an appearance at the rally alongside Trump. Off-guard from attacks on his loyalty to the nation, Vance equated his achievements against those of Vice President Kamala Harris. It marked the first time Vance had been out on the campaign trail with Trump since becoming the running mate. Vance wrote off media portrayals of the GOP platform as extreme, and the crowd from Michigan applauded him.
The rally underscored Trump’s hard-hitting resilience and determination to continue with the campaigns despite recent jolts, situating himself as a protector of democracy under whatever circumstance of adversity.
