“It was exactly one week ago today almost to the hour, even to the minute,” Trump said.
The crowd erupted into chants of “Fight, fight, fight!”
“What a day it was. As I said earlier this week, I stand before you only by the grace of almighty God, that’s true. I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be here,” Trump continued.
