Trump calls for unity after surviving assassination attempt

In a post on his social media account, Truth Social, Trump wrote: "Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will NOT FEAR, but instead remain resilient in our faith and pride in the face of evil. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were injured and hold in our hearts the memory of the civilian who was so horribly killed. At this time, it is more important than ever that we stand united and show our true character as Americans, remain strong and determined, and do not allow evil to win. I truly love our country and all of you, and look forward to speaking to our great nation from Wisconsin this week."

First Lady Melania Trump also released a lengthy statement, writing: "As I watched that violent bullet strike my husband Donald, I realized that my life, and Barron's, were about to be changed in a devastating way."
