This statement was in response to the frequent allegations from Democrats, led by President Joe Biden, labeling him as a "threat to democracy." Trump's remarks were in reference to a recent assassination attempt that resulted in a bullet wound to his right ear.
According to The Post Millennial, Trump addressed his supporters, saying, "They keep saying 'he's a threat to democracy'... last week I took a bullet for democracy." His words were met with applause from the crowd. The Michigan rally was Trump's first campaign event since the assassination attempt at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally, and his first since officially choosing Ohio Senator JD Vance as his vice presidential running mate.

Before Trump took the stage, JD Vance addressed the crowd, stating, "I find it hard to believe that a week ago an assassin tried to take Donald Trump's life and now we have a hell of a crowd in Michigan to welcome him back on the campaign trail.”

He questioned, "Why is Trump lying about the assassination attempt?" His post on X was swiftly met with a community note debunking his claim.
