NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump recounted his assassination attempt in vivid detail and promised the largest deportation in U.S. history during a high-profile return to the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. The conversation with X’s owner Elon Musk was plagued by technical glitches. The rare public conversation, which was overwhelmingly friendly, revealed little new about Trump’s plans for a second term. Musk, a former Trump critic, said the Republican nominee’s toughness, as demonstrated by his reaction to last month’s shooting, was critical for national security. Trump said, “I need an Elon Musk — I need somebody that has a lot of strength and courage and smarts.”
