« For 16 harrowing seconds during the gunfire, time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil from his sniper’s perch, not so far away, but by the hand of providence and the grace of God, that villain did not succeed in his goal. Did not come close. He did not stop our movement. He did not break our spirit », he continued.
« I will never quit. I will never bend, I will never break. I will never yield. Not even in the face of death itself », a defiant Trump stated.
