“I shouldn’t be here, I should be dead,” Trump told the newspaper from the plane carrying him to Milwaukee to attend the Republican National Convention, where he is expected to formally receive the party’s nomination to be candidate in the November presidential election.
It was “a very surreal experience,” he added, referring to the attack on his life that occurred Saturday during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump, according to the newspaper, wears a white bandage over his right ear, where the assassin’s bullet pierced him. His gunfire killed one bystander at the pre-election rally and seriously injured two others.
The 78-year-old former president said that if he had not turned his head slightly to the right to look at an image being projected onto the audience, he would have been dead, the newspaper reported.
“By luck or by God’s help, a lot of people believe by God’s help, I’m still here,” Trump said.
Besides, the Republican thanked the agents of the Secret Service (Secret Service) who neutralized the perpetrator. “They killed him with a bullet between the eyes,” he explained. “They did a fantastic job.” “It’s surreal for all of us.”
Photos of Donald Trump, with blood on his face, raising his fist in defiance to the crowd as he is led away by the Secret Service have gone viral.
“Many say this is the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen,” he said. “They’re right and I’m not dead. You usually have to die to have an iconic photo.”
After the attempt on his life, Trump said he rewrote the speech he had prepared for the Republican convention.
The former president noted that “I had prepared an extremely tough speech” regarding “the horrible Biden administration,” but changed it in favor of delivering a speech that he said he hopes “will bring the country together.”
“But I don’t know if that’s possible. People are very divided.”
