Trump to deliver ‘whole different speech’ at convention following shooting

Must read

The bloodied former president, 78, who shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight!” as secret service agents dragged him to the ground, revealed he was saved from a fatal hit by slightly turning his head at the last moment as a bullet whizzed past just centimetres away.

“I rarely look away from the crowd. Had I not done that… we would not be talking today, would we?” he said.

Trump posted on Truth Social early on Sunday: “It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable happening,” adding: “We will fear not.”

A person who spoke to the former president after the shooting told The Washington Post he was feeling “spiritual” about the attack.

“He thinks he was handed a gift from God. He can’t believe it,” they said.
