Through the ritual, they aimed to remove all hindrances in Trump's way and to make sure he lives a long life.

Trump survived an assasination attempt, where a gunman fired six shots during his speech in Butler Pennsylvania. One attendee was killed and Trump suffered an injury on the upper part of his right ear, where a bullet grazed him.

While the Secret Service responded to the situation swiftly, the dangerous precedent set by the event has caused leaders from nations across the world warning of the threat of political violence to democracy.

Trump's assailant has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks.

On Monday during the Republican National Convention, in his first public appearance since the shooting, Trump announced his running mate to be Senator JD Vance.

"After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator JD Vance of the Great State of Ohio," Trump posted on Truth Social.
