At least one The View host thinks there’s a possibility that Trump’s run-in with an attempted assassin this past weekend could be a “wake up call” to tone down his rhetoric.
On Monday’s episode of the talk show, the hosts shared their reactions to Saturday’s rally, where a gunman opened fire as the former President delivered his remarks—killing one person and injuring others, including Trump, whose ear was grazed by a bullet. Co-host Sara Haines shared her hope that Trump’s being shot at may cause him to ease up on his usual intensity and divisive tone, amid reports that the former president will amend his RNC remarks.
“We already heard that President Trump has changed his remarks at the RNC to have a more unifying tone,” Haines said. “Stranger things have happened. People that have illnesses or near-death experiences—sometimes that can be a wake up call to change things so I really hope this is a lasting thing.”
