Although many have questioned whether Saturday’s shooting will change the former president’s perspective, Antepli, Dalhouse and McCorkle all believe Trump will stick to his pro-gun rights platform. “This event and [Trump’s] response to it, I would imagine, would be really infused throughout this convention and used to … [confirm] why he’s such a great nominee for the party,” Dalhouse said, adding that he thinks the event will take shape as a “tribute” to Trump. He referenced the president’s recent mix-ups of Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump and later of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President of Russia Vladimir Putin in recent speeches as examples.
