Trump recounts surviving ‘surreal’ assassination attempt at rally

He said a new speech was in the works because “I want to try to unite our country.” Folding his arms, he added “but I don’t know if that’s possible. People are very divided.”

Was it a matter of tone, I asked, or were there policy changes he had in mind?

The policy differences, he suggested, are the stumbling block. “Some people want open borders, some don’t. Some want men to be able to play on women’s sport teams, and others don’t.”

Still, he said he remains convinced that success will unite the country, though he didn’t otherwise define what that success would entail.

He said he appreciated the call from President Biden, calling it “fine” and said Biden was “very nice.”

He suggested, without offering specifics, that the campaign between them could be more civil from now on.

He also said that “we hear” that Biden will order the Department of Justice to drop its two prosecutions of Trump. So far, there’s no public sign of that.
