Trump says he is supposed to be dead, survived by miracle. According to the politician, the assassination attempt would have been successful had he not “turned his head slightly to the right to read a chart on illegal immigrants”.
NEW YORK, July 15. /TASS/. Ex-US President Donald Trump said that he could have been killed in an attempt on his life during a speech in Pennsylvania but a miracle happened.
“The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle. <…> I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump said in an interview with the New York Post.
According to Trump, the doctor told him that he had never seen anyone survive getting hit by an AR-15-style rifle. “I just wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot,” he noted.
