Trump Mocks Media At Rally For Saying Assassination Attempt Made Him ‘Nice’: ‘I’m Not Going To Be Nice’

Former President Donald Trump mocked the media narrative that being shot changed him into a “nice” person as he launched into attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally.

Before President Joe Biden announced he would no longer be seeking a second term, Trump was riding high with a widening lead  after Biden’s debate performance touched off calls for him to drop out. Then Trump was injured in a shooting on July 13 — an assassination attempt that garnered a wave of media goodwill.

That goodwill included a lot of commentary about Trump being a changed man after the attempt on his life — which many saw as undercut by his speech the Republican National Convention, at which Trump selected Senator JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate.

Trump himself mocked that commentary as he prepared to lash out at Harris during a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina Wednesday.

For three and a half years, Lyin’ Kamala Harris has been the ultra liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe. She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country if she ever gets the chance to get into office.

We’re not going to let that happen.

You know, I was supposed to be nice. They say something happened to me when I got shot. I became nice. And when you’re dealing with these people, they’re very dangerous people, when you’re dealing with them, you can’t be too nice. You really can’t be. So, if you don’t mind, I’m not going to be nice. Is that okay? I’m not. I’m not going to be nice.

Thank you.

Kamala Harris is the most liberal elected politician in American history. Did you know that? She’s an ultra liberal politician. She’s absolutely terrible. She’s, as you know, more liberal than Bernie Sanders. Can you believe it? She’s rated far more liberal than Bernie Sanders. And she’s now trying to get rid of her record, but she can’t. She’s going out and saying things that she doesn’t believe. And if she ever got in, she’d destroy this country so fast.
