Trump says ‘I’m not supposed to be here’ after failed assassination attempt – London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

On Saturday evening the former US President Donald Trump was shot in a failed assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania.

On Monday Trump said that “I’m supposed to be dead” after he survived the assassination attempt which killed one and has left two critically ill.

The man shot dead, Corey Comperatore, 50 was a firefighter and it is said he died whilst bravely protecting his family as the shots rang out.

Secret Service shot dead the gunman and the FBI identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Mathew Crooks as the “subject involved.”

Trump was dragged off the stage during a rally in Pennsylvania after being “shot” and a bullet “pierced his right ear.”

Trump posted on Truth Social, “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.

“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead.”

A defiant Trump said that he feels he has been saved “by luck or by God” as he recounted the moment he was shot.

The Presidential hopeful told the New York Post the attempt on his life was a “very surreal experience” and “I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead.”

Trump said the doctor at the hospital said he “never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle.”

Speaking to the Washington Examiner he said, “The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger,” adding, “Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now.”

“That reality is just setting in,” he told the newspaper “I rarely look away from the crowd. Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?”
