Donald Trump speaks for the 1st time on the assassination attempt 

When you're a dad and your last action on earth is to protect your own family? You set the true example for the rest of us to follow.

Feel bad for those who lost a father that day.

Corey died for his family and dedicated his life to protecting others as a fire fighter. A true man and a true American. I wish the best for his family.

A near-death experience can seriously change your entire perspective on life

I've never seen Trump so subdued or emotional.

Whether you hate the man, love the man, or are indifferent, I think we can all agree that this whole situation is screwed up.

I’m really glad he talked about the other people affected by this tragedy.

I've never seen a man that can direct a crowd like that.

Retired fire chief died protecting his family, wow

I'm not even American but I shed a tear for Cory as Trump honored him 😢

Takes a lot of balls to go on stage again after something this close

Donald trump is seeing himself in the crowd as if he is already dead, that is why he is emotional, he is experiencing a spiritual awakening, that nothing is permanent in life.

I feel bad for the first responder who died protecting his wife and daughter ❤ praying for that angel

RIP the father that was killed that day

During this speech, the one thing I noticed was that when he started talking about the families affected, he mentioned everyone's name several times. NOT ONCE did he have to look down at note cards or anything to remember the names. He knew them already. I was very proud of that one small act of true compassion for the families involved. I myself can never remember names, I'm really bad about that. But he remembered, he didn't have to write down their names. I also find it very funny that I have not come across ONE single video on social media on the money he raised for the families involved. Goes to show how the media wants to show us nothing about his kindness. I only watched this video today. The other day I literally told my boyfriend how disappointed I was that he hasn't said or done anything. I thought for sure he would've at least paid for the funeral. But I never heard anything or saw anything on social media in regards to it. I even follow trump on Instagram and he never posted anything. I was very disappointed that he didn't acknowledge it. But I saw this video and realized I was wrong. Social media controls what we see. But I guess trump didn't post anything about it either because he probably didn't want it to seem like he's using Corey's death as political gain. Smart move.

Wow over 6 million dollars donated to the family. Bitter sweet. God Bless

He spent his whole life rescuing people, then died protecting his family with body as a shield. That's the definition of a true hero

"An ear bandage is so unnecessary" says the people who wore a mask for four years.

I don't understand why some people see this man as a villain.

Not a supporter, but this was not acting. My respect levels have grown with him showing his human side.

When a man becomes humble. There's more to life than politics

The people who don’t take seriously what just happened are really messed up. This is America. No one deserves to die because of their beliefs. That’s what this is about.

Seeing the firefighting outfit him giving a hug. I can’t hold back the tears. Rip Cory.

1 inch and the story would be whole different. Wow.

Being told he was a Fire Chief protecting his family, his uniform, the moment of silence.. makes me feel like I lost a brother. It hit me hard.

He sounds different. I've never heard Trump speak so sincerely like this. It's strange hearing the weight of the story in his voice

What a great speech and he kept the focus where it belongs

The moment of silence is incredible

A true hero and a true American. Rest in peace, Corey.

He's visibly different

I wish him to be a president again and lead the people of America❤. May God bless and always protect him and stand by his side.

Never seen this version of Trump before. Respectful, humble and emotional at the same time.

He's a different man. Ive never seen him speak with such eloquence and gravity.

Even if you hate Trump, you'll have to admit, this was a sincere and impactful speech. This is how a leader should talk.

He is a great storyteller ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love watching his interviews and speeches❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Seen trump in the media for over 30 years this is the first time I've heard him talk like this. Such emotion

As a man who doesnt cry alot, i teared up when he embraced firefighters uniform that lost his life. That meant alot to me

People who are saying anything negative about what happened like it's fake or even worse, have some serious problems.

Trump getting my vote

Money can't bring lovely husband and father back to Corey's family. But raising up money shows them all respect and support from Americans.

The Secret Service did so many mistakes in the procedure, please have an internal investigation about that. Wishing you good health. Update: Based on the news the head of the Secret Service resigned and investigations are in progress.

To bring Corey's uniform is just another level of respect and Class 💯

Am standing before you only by the grace of God ❤❤❤❤ indeed God kept you sir.... With love from south Africa

Watching from India and I see Trump is shaken up. The way he has honored Cory and others was so touching. I like this emotional side of Trump.

This event definitley shook Trump. He is talking quieter and in a different tone.

When Trump walked over to Corey's firefighter uniform and kissed the helmet like a father saying good-bye and I love you to a son, aww man! Had me in tears! I've never seen ANY leader, much less a politician, do that.

I love that he always carys God with love and very close to his heart.

Anyone that speaks ignorant about this situation should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. A father died this day defending his family. R.i.p.

As a person that has been shot at and seen his brothers die around him, I can tell you that is sincerity and it will haunt him for the rest of his life. How many times I've wondered why I lived and they did not 😢 to see the families of those fallen mourn the loss. I tried to watch an interview of a silver star recipient from our unit and I broke down in front of my wife because it was like reliving that shit, his eyes were red and he held tears back the whole interview. Several guys would not be here today had he and others handled business. That's shock and sadness, the real hurt comes later.

Say what u will about this man, but hes the most determined and strongest man mentally, and physically for that matter. I mean after a bullet rings by your ear and hits it, and this man with the ensuing chaos all around him is able to get up, raise his fist and say fight is truly remarkable and brave beyond belief. This man is a champ!!!!! As a Canadian nothing would make me more happy and proud than Donald Trump once again becoming our leader of the free world. Canada loves u president Trump

Love him or hate him, i appreciate him for talking about the life that was lost with respect and showing support to the families

The hatred on the left is insane, even in this comment section. Some people need to take a step back and think about the things theyre saying.

I like this humble version of trump

Who in their right mind wouldn't vote for such a president?

From Nigeria: thanks Trump for inspiring me to continue to fight for a better governance as a Nigerian Republican.

What happened was that the SS and local police watched this young man walking around for an hour with a gun and a ladder, and did nothing about it, even though they already classified this guy as a threat.

The silence the audience made during the silent moment was really impressive, not one person goofed up!

thank you for being such an important part of my learning journey! ️

Definitely not a fan of trump or politics in general, but have to say this is the first time ive ever seen him express a genuine sense of emotion.

Secret service has a lot to explain

I think his speech has been one of the finest I have heard. Very heartfelt.

I am British, right now we could do with this man in our country, this man has balls to stand up on stage after what's happened to him, look after him he's a diamond. God bless

“I do not boast that God is on my side, I humbly pray that l am on God's side.” -Abraham Lincoln

America is a black mirror episode

This really is heartbreaking. We need to end the hate on this planet.

You can tell that moment changed him. God Bless him.

His english is simple and easy to understand. This is very good point to get more attention from worldwide not only in USA. Love from Srilanka 🇱🇰

Seeing death so close must change something within you, doesnt matter how rich or poweful you are

There has been a noticable change in this man, a much more humbled somber tone. He showed great courage and fortitude. And now Gratitude.

Won the hearts of Americans with this speech

Seeing the footage of people pointing out the shooter on the rooftop to the police and nobody doing anything makes no sense...

"Now It's clear that I'm here for a real reason"

This is the first time ever i have seen a politician real sincere. 100% truth here. This is what we need from our leaders.

I had the top of my ear bitten off in a pointless street fight years ago, and the amount of blood you lose is absolutely staggering. That shit's gonna hurt like fuck every night when he rolls onto it and every time he forgets about it and puts his hand to his head and catches it wrong. I honestly feel for him.

Its not even my country and i felt great that he stood up and they all roared with pride. Sad for those that lost their lives.

I was in the crowd at the rally. I spent 8.5 years in the Army as an infantryman and paratrooper. I was absolutely shocked with how well the crowd handled the events. The shouting was limited mostly to give direction and provide assistance. For the few that stopped to try to get pictures or video of the ambulances and motorcade leaving, there were HUNDREDS that immediately ridiculed them and forced them out of the way so that emergency services could do their jobs.

I am from syrian and i like Trump when he speak English He speak so clearly . amazing

He looked so emotionally tired being through a traumatic experience.

It is absolutely sickening to see some of the comments saying to "get over" Corey's death. He died a hero, protecting his family. Please, learn to have sympathy. He was a human being and his life mattered, regardless of whether or not you agreed with him politically. Condolences to his family. ❤

A 78 year old, jumping on planes , climbing stairs and giving speeches, attending long conferences, only 24 hrs after he was hit with a weapon that blew off half his ear? Age 78?

An emotional speech indeed 😢

Condolences to the family who lost their dad.

I’m from the UK and even I had tears 😢 Don’t waste what you have America. You are lucky and blessed

One of his best speeches. I like how he wants to unify the country. Good demeanor.

It is so painful for President Trump, he said, that he will once speak about it once.

It very clearly massively humbled him. Look at his face.

..my heart weeps for the family of Corey, the fallen Firefighter💔

Man this speech and the crowd here is like a scene from a movie. Amazing!

Again and again praise the Lord Almighty God❤❤❤

He seems genuinely humbled by this incident.

As someone who used to hate him, this was powerful.

When Trump said I’m not supposed to be here it touched me man… no one deserves to die

God Bless you Mr Trump! with great love from Romania!

I am an independent, and I have decided that I am voting for Donald Trump!!!! Trump has my support and my vote!!!!!!! His message was strong, inspirational, and unifying!!!!

As a moderate democrat/independent, I have to say this is probably the most humanity Trump has shown in all of his speeches, at least in my recent memory. I’d rather have this than crazy left wings vomitting buzzwords

For me as a Filipino watching Politics in America and watching President Trump and hearing his speech is so emotional God bless

😢God is always good, from South Africa we say, long live President Trump, you are the only hope to the world right now,.. today's Saviour...we greatly thsnk God for saving your life...long live President Trump 🇿🇦🙏😊
