According to a Politico report, people close to former President Donald Trump said the assassination attempt had made him more humble, but some liberals were outraged by the comments.
Natalie Allison’s article cites multiple sources close to Trump who say the shooting has made him “calmer” and more “spiritual.”
“They obviously want that damn sociopath to win.”
Among them was Donald Trump Jr., the former president’s son.
“These are momentous events that change people forever,” he said. “My dad has always been a fighter and that will never change, but I think he will do his best to moderate where necessary.”
Others said he quickly remembered the man killed in the attack and frequently mentioned God and faith.
Allison also noted that Trump said he rewrote the entire speech to appeal to unite the country and make it less divided.
The reaction from many on “X,” the platform formerly known as Twitter, was intense and infuriating.
