"I was saved by God or luck," Trump declares

Following the recent assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, former US President Donald Trump expressed his belief that he should not have survived the incident.

During a recent interview, Mr. Trump expressed his belief that he had been fortunate or divinely protected during the incident.

"It was a remarkable occurrence," he recounted, emphasizing his head turn's precise timing and angle. He went on to explain that the bullet, which barely missed his ear, posed a significant threat to his life."

"I am supposed to be dead. I am not supposed to be here," he stated.

Tragically, one person lost their life in the attack, with two others sustaining severe injuries.

Thomas Matthew Crooks has been identified as the gunman who tragically lost his life as well.

In a gripping account, Mr. Trump recounted the harrowing moment when he glanced up at the crowd only to realize that he had been shot.

At that moment, the people stood there, their energy palpable. Attempting to capture the indescribable sensation, one couldn't help but sense the weight of the world's gaze.

"I was fully aware of the weight of this moment, understanding that the verdict of history would ultimately determine our actions. I needed to communicate to the public that we are in a state of safety and well-being," he shared with the Washington Examiner.

As he prepared for the forthcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where his confirmation as the party's presidential candidate is anticipated, Mr. Trump expressed his belief in the nation's resilience and its potential for unity.

Mr. Trump revealed a significant change in his speech plan. Instead of the previously intended 'humdinger' primarily targeting President Joe Biden's policies, he plans to take a different, more unifying approach.

This speech would have been remarkable if Saturday's attack had not occurred.

"The speech is expected to undergo significant changes," said the speaker. "This presents an opportunity to unite the nation."

In a recent post on his social media platform Truth Social, Mr. Trump announced his decision to postpone his trip to Wisconsin by two days.

However, he emphasized that he would not deviate from his original schedule, stating, "I refuse to let a 'shooter' or possible assassin dictate any alterations to the planned itinerary."

Mr. Trump shared that the assassination attempt has left a significant impact on him, underscoring the personal toll of such a traumatic event.

Minimal information is available regarding the motives of Crooks, the 20-year-old individual who the Secret Service fatally shot.

According to the FBI, their investigation indicates that Crooks acted alone. However, they will continue to explore the possibility of the kitchen worker receiving assistance.

Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old volunteer fire chief, tragically lost his life on Saturday while bravely attempting to shield his family from the attack.

During a televised address in the aftermath of the attack, President Biden urged a reduction in the intensity of political discourse.

"We must avoid retracing our steps on this path." "We've traversed this path before in our nation's history," remarked Mr. Biden, recounting an increasing number of tumultuous political incidents that have unfolded in the United States in recent years.

"In America, we settle our disagreements through the democratic process," he emphasized. "In the realm of voting." Without the use of bullets.
