On August 22, Financial Association News (Editor: Bian Chun) reported that former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump participated in his first outdoor campaign event since the assassination attempt. He stood behind bulletproof glass and made a speech.
At the campaign rally held in Asheville, North Carolina, Trump described numerous apocalyptic scenarios that could happen if he loses the election, and once again blasted his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris.
He stated that Harris is the "most radical leftist" candidate in history and claimed that if she wins in November, millions of jobs will "disappear overnight" and people's "lifelong savings will be gone".
"When I was your president, the whole world knew that the United States was not to be underestimated," Trump said. "If Kamala wins in November, the third world war is almost certain to happen."
Trump also insisted in his speech that if he is reelected as President of the United States, he can end the Ukraine crisis and the country will experience economic prosperity.
This is Trump's first large outdoor event since he was lightly injured in an assassination attempt over a month ago at an open-air venue in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The attack resulted in the death of a rally attendee, and the 20-year-old gunman was subsequently killed by a Secret Service sniper.
Huge bulletproof glass can be seen around the podium of Trump's rally on Wednesday. However, during the speech, Trump did not stand behind the glass the whole time. He also briefly left the podium and went into the crowd to visit an audience member who was feeling unwell.
After the Trump shooting incident, the Secret Service recommended that Trump hold events in indoor venues that are easier to control, such as sports stadiums. Since then, he has held dozens of indoor events.
Weapons were found at the rally site again.
It is worth noting that weapons were found again at this outdoor rally, Trump's first in a month. North Carolina regulations prohibit carrying weapons in parades and similar activities.
According to reports, around 4:30 PM Eastern Time, the police arrested two men at the rally location. The police handcuffed the two men, and one of them was detained.
At that time, Trump and his running mate Pence had finished their speeches and the attendees were leaving the venue one by one.
However, the person with the gun had no intention of assassination, and the police described it as an 'apparent road rage incident'. No one at the rally reported any injuries.
According to the Asheville Police, during a verbal altercation among participants at the rally, 'someone pulled out a weapon from their vehicle', but the weapon was not pointed at anyone and the suspect did not threaten to attack anyone.
