PURE LUCK SAVED TRUMP’S LIFE: In the immediate aftermath of Saturday’s attempt on the life of Donald Trump, television commentators were praising the quick response of the Secret Service. Agents shielded the former president with their bodies, while snipers “neutralized” the shooter within seconds with a kill shot to the head.
“I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin,” Trump posted on his Truth social account. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.” A remarkable New York Times photo appeared to capture the path of the bullet as it passed Trump’s head, which, by sheer luck, happened just as Trump turned ever so slightly, resulting in the bullet grazing him instead of likely killing him.
