Donald Trump Unveils Dramatic Details of Assassination Attempt: Moment It Happened, Who’s to Blame, Why He Got Up and Yelled ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’
Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that when he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, in mid-July he knew instantly it was a bullet that had hit him.
“A lot of times, and I was thinking about this, it would seem like a surreal moment—like you don’t realize almost where you are,” Trump said when asked to describe what went through his mind in that moment. “I never felt that. I knew immediately I got hit by a bullet.”
Trump’s comments came during a lengthy exclusive interview at Mar-a-Lago a couple weeks ago, where he sat for an hour with Breitbart News after a press conference he held earlier in the day. One of the most interesting parts of the interview was Trump talking about the failed assassination attempt from 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks against him, and it was unbelievable to hear Trump himself describe just how lucky he was that the would-be assassin’s bullets barely missed him.
Trump, sitting behind his big ornate wooden desk, described to Breitbart News that he would be dead if he had not turned exactly the right way at exactly the right second.
“So what are the odds that I’m looking to the right?” Trump said. “The poster is never used early, and it’s never on the right it’s always on the left. If you take the odds of this whole thing it’s like 10 million to one and you only have an eighth of a second.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Unveils Dramatic Details of Assassination Attempt: Moment It Happened, Who’s to Blame, Why He Got Up and Yelled ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’” HERE)
