Former President Donald Trump has announced his decision to proceed with his scheduled trip to Wisconsin and the Republican National Convention today, despite a recent assassination attempt.

Trump shared this decision on his social media, emphasizing his refusal to allow the incident to alter his plans.

The statement came after a distressing event that Trump described as “terrible,” which prompted initial considerations to delay his travel. However, he stated, “I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else.” As a result, Trump affirmed his departure for Milwaukee at 3:30 P.M. today, expressing his determination to move forward without disruption.

He departed his home in Bedminster, New Jersey Sunday evening and arrived in Wisconsin for the 2024 GOP Convention.
