No it was not luck.

President Trump is now breaking his silence on the assassination attempt against him during a rally on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania.
"I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead," Trump told the New York Post. "I’m supposed to be dead."
"The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle," Trump also told the newspaper onboard his private plane while heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for this week’s Republican National Convention. "By luck or by God, many people are saying it’s by God I’m still here."
Trump told the Post that had he not turned his head slightly to the right to read a chart on illegal immigration, the bullet that grazed him would have been fatal.
He described the Secret Service agents that rushed at him like "linebackers," mentioning another one eliminated the gunman with "one shot right between the eyes."
"They did a fantastic job," he told the Post. "It’s surreal for all of us."
As Secret Service agents rushed Trump off the stage, he was heard saying he wanted to get his shoes.
"The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight," he explained to the Post.
Trump, reacting to images of him raising his fist and being surrounded by Secret Service agents in the seconds following the shooting, said, "A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen."
"They’re right and I didn’t die. Usually you have to die to have an iconic picture," he added. "I just wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot."

“By luck or by God, many people are saying it’s by God I’m still here,” he said.
It wasn’t luck, Mr. President.
I also think a great many Americans LOATHE mealy-mouthed passive politician-speak, which Trump does not do, and that's another part of his appeal. I for one am sick to death of word salad pols who use a lot of words to say precisely nothing of value.
My agreement: politicians should stop all the talk and deliver a lot more action.
PDJT is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now go drain the swamp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God’s speed!
I have to believe this was divine intervention
Pretty scary when you realize what our government did to JFK and know the undisclosed truth.
.223 rounds are effective but not that effective. It is illegal to hunt deer in many states with a .223 because it often wounds but does not kill.
Donald Trump, like Ronald Reagan, Gods choice for president.
Never Forget: Biden: “Trumps going to have a very bad week”
Greatness.
No it was not luck.

Don - Please don’t tell us you’re God’s Chosen One.
Someone here pointed out how Bush Jr. ducked to get out of the way of a shoe. Looks like Trump 1-upped him by getting out of the way (almost completely) of a .223.
Yes
I’ve had people say to me that I think Trump is God.
I pop my eyes and look at them like they’re nuts.
Of course Trump’s not God, I state.
Trump’s Moses.
That shuts them up. :-)
See my reply #18. :-)
I think we can figure that out for ourselves.
