'I was saved by luck or God,' Trump says
Former US President Donald Trump recently appeared at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he revealed that he felt he was 'supposed to be dead' after an assassination attempt. In one of his first interviews since the incident, Trump told conservative US media that he believed he had been saved 'by luck or by God. ' He recounted the moment, explaining that he turned his head at the exact right time, and the bullet only grazed his ear. 'I’m supposed to be dead, I’m not supposed to be here,' he said. The attack resulted in the death of a spectator and serious injuries to two other people. The gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, also died. Trump described the moment he realized he had been shot and looked up at the crowd. He said the energy from the people was incredible, and he knew he had to let them know they were okay. As he prepared to board a flight to the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he is expected to be confirmed as the party's candidate for president, Trump said his speech would now be different. Instead of focusing on criticizing current President Joe Biden's policies, he said it would be a chance to bring the country together. Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he had intended to delay his trip to Wisconsin by two days but decided to stick to his original schedule. He said he could not allow a 'shooter' or potential assassin to force him to change his plans. The FBI is investigating whether the gunman acted alone or had help. The spectator who was killed was Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old volunteer fire chief who died trying to protect his family. In a televised address following the attack, President Joe Biden said, 'We cannot, must not, go down this road again. We've traveled it before in our history. ' He emphasized that in America, differences are resolved at the ballot box, not with bullets.
