Trump says he was 'supposed to be dead' after attempted assassination at Pennsylvania rally
Former President Donald Trump said Sunday said he believes he narrowly avoided his own death in an interview with The New York Post.
In the wake of the attempted assassination at his rally in Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump said Sunday he believes he narrowly avoided his own death.
“I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump said in an interview with The New York Post.
Trump spoke to the Post while en route to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention this week; the former president reportedly had a large white bandage on his right ear from the injury he sustained from the shooting.
Trump recalled turning his head slightly to the right to read a chart about undocumented immigrants during the rally — a split-second move he believes allowed him to dodge a shot that would have killed him.
