Former US President Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania a few days ago, causing an ear injury, which caused a lot of waves. According to US media reports on July 15 local time, Trump said in an interview with the New York Post and other media that he felt that he was spared by luck or God.
Trump told the media: "The most incredible thing is that I not only turned my head, but also turned at the most appropriate time and angle." He added that the bullet that grazed his ear was enough to kill him.
"I should have died and should not be standing here at this moment."
Trump said "This is an extremely surreal feeling. You can never predict how you will react when you encounter such an incident."
Trump also described the moment when he looked up at the crowd after realizing that he was shot: "At that moment, I could feel the power from the crowd, and they just stood there quietly. The feeling is hard to describe, but I know that the whole world is watching me.
I know that history will judge this matter, and I must let them know that we are fine." Trump continued.
Trump was escorted after being shot CNN
The 78-year-old former US president praised the Secret Service agents who acted quickly after the shooting to escort him from the stage to a safe area. Trump said he wanted to continue his speech, but was told that it was unsafe and that he needed to go to the hospital for treatment.
The original speech was very tough, and I threw it away last night. After what I have experienced, I can't say this anymore. "Trump said: If the attack on Saturday had not happened, this would have been one of the most incredible speeches.
He further stated that the upcoming speech will be completely different and will no longer be a direct attack on the policies of the current President Biden as he originally planned. To be honest, this will be a brand new speech, an opportunity to unite the country.
Trump once revealed on his social media platform Truth Social that he intended to postpone his trip to Wisconsin for two days, but then emphasized that he would stick to the original schedule because "I can't allow the gunman or potential assassin to force a change in the schedule.
"In America, we resolve our differences at the ballot box, not with the bullet," Biden added.
