President Trump took the stage at a MAGA rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Saturday to thunderous applause.
This is President Trump’s first rally since an assassination attempt on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Tens of thousands of supporters came to see him and vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance.

President Trump talks about assassination attempts.
“Just a week ago today, almost to the hour, even to the minute,” Trump said.
The chant “Fight, fight, fight!” burst out from the crowd.
“What a great day that was. As I said earlier this week, it’s only by the grace of Almighty God that I stand before you, and that’s the truth. I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be here,” Trump continued.

President Trump also paid tribute to Corey Competore, who died last week at a July 13 rally while protecting his family from an assassin’s bullet.
“Cory is a hero and we will always remember him. A great hero,” Trump said.
Patriots chanted “Cory, Cory, Cory.”
