Former president Donald Trump started his keynote address at the Republican convention with a description of the assassination attempt at his rally Saturday. He said this would be the only time he would recount that day’s events because it was too painful to recount. The former president touched on many of his usual stump-speech themes — saying the world was teetering on the brink of World War III and, without evidence, accused opponents of “cheating on elections.” He also promised to finish the campaign strong. “Otherwise, we’ll blow it,” Trump added. “And we can’t let that happen.”
