I turned at exact moment bullet was fired
Former US President Donald Trump says it is a miracle that he is alive after a gunman attempted to kill him at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Trump said he is “supposed to be dead”, adding that he felt he had been saved “by luck or by God”.
The former president was midway into his speech when gunshots were fired
His security rushed him off the stage, but the former US president paused to pump his fist defiantly in the air
ideos showed blood on Trump’s ear as he scowled.
Hours after the assassination attempt, Trump said the bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear after he felt it ripping through his skin.
“The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn [my head] but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount,” he said on Monday.
