Trump says he accepts FBI ‘apology’ over assassin’s bullet claims and slams Harris at Florida speech

During a speech on Friday in Florida, Donald Trump addressed the ongoing mini-scandal over whether he was struck with a bullet to the ear at a recent Pennsylvania rally.

The FBI on Friday confirmed an assassin shot Trump in the ear earlier this month after the agency’s director suggested earlier this week the wound might’ve come from shrapnel.

“We accept their apology,” Trump said, to jeers from the crowd at the Turning Point Believers Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida.

“It just never ends with these people,” Trump said elsewhere in the speech. “They raid Mar-a-Lago. They do things, so bad, so bad.

Elsewhere in the speech, Trump lashed out at the Democratic party and Kamala Harris.

On the subject of Joe Biden bowing out of the 2024 presidential race, Trump described the process as a “coup” led by “fascists” within the Democratic party.

“I hate to stick up for Biden, but he didn’t want to do what he did,” Trump said.

The former president reserved his most scathing remarks, however, for vice-president Kamala Harris, who will likely replace Biden on the Democratic ticket for 2024.

Trump called Harris a “bum” and mocked her name, saying, “I couldn’t care less if I mispronounce it.”

Trump also took issue with her policies, arguing Harris would bring “crazy San Francisco liberal values” to America and branded her “the most incompetent, unpopular, and far-left vice-president in American history.”

Given the religious audience he was speaking in front of, Trump also spent considerable time discussing his administration’s relations with Israel.

Trump claimed, “I’ve done more for Israel by far, than any other president,” pointing to the Abraham Accords and the Trump administration’s controversial decision to move the US Embassy
