BREAKING: Shots reportedly fired at Donald Trump who bled on side of the head in apparent assassination attempt at rally
A grateful and at times defiant Donald Trump told The Post Sunday he’s “supposed to be dead” as he recalled the harrowing moment aThe former president shared the “very surreal experience” that nearly ended his life during an interview aboard his private plane enroute to“The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle,” said Trump, who was sporting a loose, large white bandage that covered his right ear. His staff insisted that no photos be taken.
He marveled at how the agents came flying in like they were “linebackers” as soon as the shooting started and he unbuttoned his white long sleeve shirt to show a large bruise on his right forearm.He also cleared up a mystery about his shoes. On the video of the shooting and aftermath, as the burly agents tried to rush him off the stage for safety, he can be heard saying, “Wait, I want to get my shoes.
Then, turning to aides standing behind him, he said, “Get the numbers, I want to go the hospital and call all the families.” “I had all prepared an extremely tough speech, really good, all about the corrupt, horrible administration,” he said, then suddenly added: “But I threw it away.”He said a new speech was in the works because “I want to try to unite our country.” Folding his arms, he added “but I don’t know if that’s possible. People are very divided.”The policy differences, he suggested, are the stumbling block. “Some people want open borders, some don’t.
He also said that “we hear” that Biden will order the Department of Justice to drop its two prosecutions of Trump. So far, there’s no public sign of that. He didn’t give his own opinion, but acknowledged that the debate was continuing to divide Dems about whether Biden should be the nominee, and that Saturday’s shooting would almost certainly compound the swing in his favor as voters absorbed it. All true, but I believe there is still a need for him to close the sale with many people who remain immune to his appeal. Those who have tuned him out have missed the ways in which he has run a far more disciplined campaign than his first two.
