“People from insane asylums it drives them crazy — Hannibal Lector — the late great Hannibal Lector would like to have you for dinner,” the Republican bizarrely stated. “He wants you for dinner, that’s the end of you by the way.”
In response to the gaffe, users slammed Trump for his mental abilities.

Donald Trump recently survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
In anticipation of Trump's appearance, numerous attendees began to line up outside the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids in the morning before the big event.

The rally came after Trump spoke about the harrowing incident during his Republican National Convention speech, which went on for over 90 minutes.

Donald Trump recently attended the Republic National Convention, where he was sworn in as the party's 2024 candidate.
"If I had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin’s bullet would have perfectly hit its mark," he said. "And I would not be here tonight. We would not be together."
"The discord and division in our society must be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart," Trump shared. "I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America."

Despite the scary situation, Trump declared the day after the shooting he would not allow it to hold him back.
"Based on yesterday’s terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin, and The Republican National Convention, by two days, but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or a potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else," he said on Sunday, July 14.
