Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday night (local time), declaring he would not be changing his campaign schedule.

“Based on yesterday’s terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin, and The Republican National Convention, by two days, but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter.’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else. Therefore, I will be leaving for Milwaukee, as scheduled, at 3:30 P.M. TODAY. Thank you! DJT”

Former President Donald Trump has been spotted on the golf course at his Bedminster estate following his assassination attempt.
On Monday, 7NEWS US correspondent David Woiwod gave an update to Sunrise hosts Michael Usher and Nat Barr from Milwaukee, ahead of the beginning of the Republican convention.

“We’re learning more details too about that conversation between Donald Trump and the US President Joe Biden in the hours after this attack. It was described as brief, but respectful,” Woiwod said.

“Joe Biden has made an additional comment today as well, and he again has condemned this act of violence in the strongest possible terms, offering his political rival and the Republican Party every support they need.”

On Monday, Sunrise reporter Ash Mullany spoke to Trump supporters in the US following the assassination attempt.

“He stands-up bleeding from a bullet, and he said, ‘fight.’ That’s what we’re doing here. We’re gonna fight for our president. It’s all about our democracy because they are trying to take it away from us,” one voter said.

Another enthusiastic voter said: “Everything he has sacrificed, he’s an amazing, absolute man. He’s history in the making. That’s what I thought. History in the making.”

President Joe Biden called for calm and unity following the attack.

He has directed the investigation into the Trump attack to be “thorough and swift,” and asked the public not to “make assumptions” about the gunman’s motive.

“There is no place in America for this kind of violence, or any violence for that matter. An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for … as a nation — everything,” he said.
