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."

It is also legal in many states to use .224 diameter center fires for big game hunting.
I prefer bigger calibers for big game hunting.
That said with proper bullets and shot placement. I killed deer with several 224 dia. center fires. From 22hornet on up.
Is it the one with no front teeth? I saved it; link doesn’t work for me, so am glad I saved it.
I have also posted it on FR Facebook but they covered it as it goes against FB community standards, and also FR GAB, uncovered.
Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.
I’ve not found ANY pictures of the shooter yet!
Post shooting that is...
Exactly!
I worry less about him saying it than believing it.
You obviously know little about Trump as a person. Worry about your judgemental and wrong self.
I have also posted the photo on Free Republic Facebook and Gab. FB covered it. Gab did not.
That should be Free Republic Facebook and Free Republic GAB.
And you do?
TRUMP IS A MODERN DAY ANDREW JACKSON.
The Obama/Biden/Democrat/Deep State Cabal needs to be held accountable.
Been studying the subject for decades.
