Donald Trump has appeared at the Republican convention in Milwaukee for the first time less than three days after he survived an assassination attempt.

The former president wore a bandage on his right ear where the bullet fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks ripped through his skin.

The crowd of adoring Republicans were sent into raptures as their newly-anointed presidential candidate graced the screens and then went into his family box.

Tim Scott told the crowd before Trump came out: ‘If you didn’t believe in miracles before Saturday—you better be believing right now…Because on Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle—but an AMERICAN LION got back up on his feet, and he ROARRRRRRRRED…’
