Moderator Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), learn the letter Dwight wrote to Trump following the failed assassination try.
Expensive President Trump,
Watching you throughout the Butler rally, and also you getting again up, each my spouse and I gave a sigh of reduction in addition to a couple of tears.
I’d be honored when you would settle for this small token I obtained as a younger marine in Vietnam.
My spouse and I each thought it acceptable. God bless you, your loved ones, and the US of America.
Sincerely, Dwight.
Dwight was then invited to affix President Trump on stage.
Dwight: Pleasure, as a result of we noticed what occurred, and it was a minor wound, nevertheless it was near being a horrible one.
President Trump: I mentioned, Why was there a lot blood to the physician? He mentioned, It’s bleeding like loopy. It is a little truth. A few of you may need heard this, however you get hit within the ear and it bleeds greater than some other a part of the physique. I didn’t thoughts being hit that I don’t need to be hit that approach. This manner. If I didn’t make the flip, I’d have been hit the opposite approach. That’s no good. That will not have been too good. However it’s true. I received very fortunate, and perhaps it wasn’t a lot luck. Possibly there’s one thing else. Possibly there’s one thing else up there. However that’s nice. Thanks.
Dwight: You additionally took the day trip to put in writing me a fantastic letter and gave me a problem coin. I by no means I anticipated that from the President of the US. Thanks very a lot.
(Crosstalk)
Dwight: I served as a Marine in Vietnam, proudly served as a Marine in Vietnam. Thanks very a lot. There have been fairly a couple of that did. Once I got here again from the service and stuff like that, we didn’t get fairly the best greeting, however…. A number of the veterans these days are homeless.
There’s 7% had been homeless earlier than Biden and Harris took over. Now, there’s 14%. I wish to know what you’re going to do to stop this from getting any bigger and likewise kicking these unlawful aliens out of the freaking resorts and offering them with cash earlier than we do it for our homeless vets.
President Trump: So fascinating. One of many issues that almost all angers me about that is the 21 million folks plus. They are saying it’s 10, it’s 12, whether or not it’s or not, it’s rather more than that. It’s 21 million, and it’s in all probability with the got-aways of how and every part, much more than that. However one of many issues that almost all angers me is that you’ve got veterans on the streets in entrance of a resort and you’ve got unlawful immigrants, a few of them are critical killers and drug sellers and all of the people who we talked about earlier than, and terrorists.
And people folks being walked right into a resort, and so they’re staying in a resort, and so they stroll by veterans who’re sleeping on the road. It may very well be chilly, it may very well be sizzling. It bothers me. If we cease, if we shut our partitions, we’re going to have the ability to deal with it. They’re spending a lot cash on taking good care of the unlawful migrants, now we name them. We used to name them unlawful aliens. I name them regardless of the hell I need to name them. So do you. However they’re not alleged to be right here. We’re going to shut the wall, first day.
First day, we’re going to do a few issues. First day, we’re going to drill child drill, and we’re going to shut the wall. We’re going to shut it up. We’re going to must take folks out. We can not have killers.
Will we agree? Does anyone need to depart the murderers, the drug sellers in our nation?
Are you aware one of many little information that’s very unhappy, however is sensible? All these items I predicted three, 4 years in the past. I used to be saying that is going to occur, now it’s occurring. The migrant crime. It’s a large, it’s a large crime. However all of this that’s occurred, all people, it’s frequent sense that it was going to occur, and we’re going to must get them out as a result of now we have no selection.
It’s not sustainable by any nation. We’ve got performed issues which can be so silly. For instance, I take into account it to be much less vital, nevertheless it’s essential nonetheless as a result of it’s a lifestyle. Males taking part in in ladies’s sports activities.
