Former President Donald Trump, describing his attempted assassination attempt, tells the RNC that he isn't supposed to have been at the convention -- a statement with which the crowd disagreed.

Trump was describing the moment a gunman attempted to kill him last week in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"I'm not supposed to be here tonight," an emotional Trump told the crowd in Milwaukee.

"Yes you are," the crowd chanted in response. "Yes you are."
