Trump Shares Details Of Assassination Attempt At Pennsylvania Rally

A former president recounts a chilling moment that shook his family and supporters alike.

In an interview with Fox News, former President Donald Trump revealed new information about the assassination attempt he survived during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which he described as "the craziest day."

In an interview with Laura Ingraham on "The Ingraham Angle," set to air Monday at 7:00 pm ET, Donald Trump shared a story about his son Barron.

He recalled Barron being informed of a shooting while playing tennis with friends. Trump explained that someone ran to Barron and told him his father had been shot.

Trump emphasized the close relationship between him and his son, stating, "Barron really likes his father a lot." He described Barron's worried reaction, rushing to his mother and asking what had happened. The former president also noted the relief that followed when people saw him stand up after the incident, realizing he had survived the attack.

Trump's Swift Recovery And Public Response

Trump's resilience was on full display immediately following the shooting. Despite being hit in the ear by gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, Trump managed to stand up and give a fist pump to the crowd.

This gesture, accompanied by his mouthing the words "fight, fight, fight," reassured his supporters of his survival.

The former president recalled the moments after being shot, stating:

I convinced them I thought I was only hit in the ear. It's very interesting. But they got me up and I watched and it was dead silent, even though I was standing up and in vision because people didn't know I was alive or not, and then when I did the fist pump, everybody realized and they're screaming, 'USA, USA.' It was the craziest day. It was a crazy time.

Trump's quick recovery and public display of strength turned a potentially tragic moment into a rallying cry for his supporters, showcasing his ability to galvanize his base even in the face of danger.

Hospital Preparation And Security Measures

During the interview, Trump expressed amazement at the level of preparation and security measures in place for such emergencies.

He described how the entire hospital was shut down upon his arrival, with doctors and nurses waiting outside. This protocol, designed to ensure the president's safety and immediate medical attention, was something Trump admitted he hadn't known about previously.

The former president praised the efficiency of this system, calling it "genius." He noted the stark contrast between the usually bustling hospital environment and the emptiness he encountered, emphasizing how thoroughly the facility was prepared for a presidential emergency.

Remembering The Fallen And Moving Forward

In a poignant moment during his recent rally in Butler, Trump held a moment of silence at 6:11 pm, marking the exact time Crooks began firing on July 13.

This tribute was dedicated to Corey Comperatore, a rally attendee, father, husband, and firefighter who lost his life while protecting his family during the shooting.

Trump acknowledged Comperatore's sacrifice and thanked his family members, including his widow and daughters, for attending the recent rally. This gesture underscored the lasting impact of the assassination attempt on both Trump and his supporters.

The rally also featured a surprise appearance by Elon Musk, who delivered remarks encouraging attendees to vote in the upcoming election. Musk's energetic presence, punctuated by his excited jumping on stage, added a dynamic element to the event.

Conclusion

Trump's recounting of the assassination attempt provides a personal perspective on a harrowing moment in recent political history. The former president's survival and swift recovery from the shooting have become emblematic of his resilience in the face of adversity.

This incident, while traumatic, has seemingly strengthened Trump's resolve and the loyalty of his base as he continues his political journey. The full interview promises to offer more insights into Trump's experiences and thoughts surrounding this pivotal event in his life and American politics.
