Trump’s life saved by moving head at the right time
Former President Donald Trump says his life was spared during an assassination attempt at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania by simply moving his head at a pivotal moment.
Trump said in an interview with the Washington Examiner that he moved at “the exact right time.”
“The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount,” Trump said. “If I only half-turn, it hits the back of the brain. The other way goes right through [the skull]. And because the sign was high, I’m looking up. The chances of my making a perfect turn are probably one tenth of one percent, so I’m not supposed to be here.”
Minutes into Trump’s speech at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, loud popping noises were heard as people huddled for safety. Trump appeared to clutch his ear and fell to the ground. When he stood back up, surrounded by Secret Service agents, as blood was seen running down his face.
“I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin,” the former president said in a post on Truth Social. “Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.”
“That I would turn exactly at that second, where he [the gunman] wouldn’t stop the shot is pretty amazing,” Trump said. “Pretty amazing. I’m really not supposed to be here.”
