Former President Trump Reflects On Surviving Assassination Attempt

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

Former President Donald Trump recently reflected on surviving an assassination attempt, expressing gratitude for still being alive. During a recent interview, Trump revealed a large bruise on his right forearm, which he received when agents swiftly moved to protect him on stage. He also had a bandage covering his right ear, and his staff prohibited any photos during the interview.

Trump acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating, 'I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead.' He attributed his survival to luck or divine intervention, with many attributing it to a higher power. Reflecting on a now-iconic photo of him raising his fist with blood on his face, Trump remarked that such moments are usually associated with death.

Despite his desire to continue speaking after the incident, the Secret Service insisted that Trump seek medical attention. He expressed appreciation for a call from President Joe Biden, describing it as 'fine' and 'very nice.' Trump also hinted at the possibility of a more civil campaign between them moving forward.
