Donald Trump is making a change after being grazed by a bullet while on stage at a Pennsylvania rally, according to an exclusive interview with the former president.
Trump was scheduled to give an interview to a Washington Examiner reporter, but that reporter ended up being only feet away from the ex-president when he was shot on stage.
They did the interview today, instead, and Trump dropped a bomb about his upcoming speech for the Republican National Convention.

"Former President Donald Trump has completely rewritten his convention speech in light of the assassination attempt against him on Saturday and will call on Thursday for a new effort at national unity," the report states. "In an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner a day after being hit by a sniper’s bullet, Trump said he wanted to take advantage of a historic moment and draw the country together."
According to the conservative outlet, Trump said, "The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger ... Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches” that he said would have targeted President Joe Biden.
“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now," the ex-president then added.
The report continues:
"He has switched, he said, from planning to excite his voter base to one that demonstrates his belief that the attack on him at a rally in Pennsylvania had changed the election campaign entirely."
"Both Republicans and Democrats have acknowledged this in the aftermath of Saturday’s shocking incident," the report also says. "Trump said people all across the country from different walks of life and different political views have called him, and he noted that he was saved from death because he turned from the crowd to look at a screen showing data he was using in his speech."
