Trump calls Harris weak in first outdoor campaign speech since assassination

Former US President Donald Trump on August 21 held his first outdoor campaign event since the failed assassination attempt.

According to AFP, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke behind bulletproof glass at an aviation museum in Asheboro, North Carolina (USA). At the event, many snipers were deployed on nearby rooftops to ensure absolute safety for Mr. Trump.

In his speech, former President Trump called US Vice President Kamala Harris "the most radical leftist" to ever run for the White House, and warned that millions of jobs would "disappear overnight" if Ms. Harris won the election in November. "Your life savings will be completely evaporated," Mr. Trump emphasized.

"All over the world , our enemies know that America is not a target to be trifled with when I am president. However, if Kamala wins this November, World War III will almost certainly happen," Trump said. In addition to his statements aimed at his opponent Harris, at one point, Trump left the podium to ask about the health of an event participant. Trump's outdoor campaign activities resumed just one day after Harris officially became the Democratic presidential candidate at the party's National Convention, taking place in Chicago, Illinois (USA).

In addition, this is also Mr. Trump's first major outdoor campaign event since he was slightly injured in a failed assassination attempt at a similar location in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. After the shocking incident, the US Secret Service recommended that Mr. Trump choose indoor locations that are easier to control security.
