Former president Donald Trump told New York Post his speech has changed following assassination attempt
According to the New York Post, Trump's brush with death changed his mind about the speech he'll give Thursday to accept his party’s nomination.
“I had all prepared an extremely tough speech, really good, all about the corrupt, horrible administration,” Trump told the Post. “But I threw it away.”
A new speech was in the works because he wants to try to unite the country, though he doesn't know if that's possible, the Post report said.
