New footage reveals close call in assassination attempt on Donald Trump
Recently released close-up footage reveals the harrowing moment when a would-be assassin’s bullet narrowly missed former President Donald Trump. The video, captured by C3PMeme, shows Trump making a split-second move that saved his life during the assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally. The footage, which depicts the bullet perfectly centered on Trump’s head, shows him tilting his head, causing the shot to graze his ear rather than penetrate his skull.
Miraculous dodge saves Trump’s life
Israeli Special Operations veteran Aaron Cohen previously explained to Fox News that the bullet skimmed the former president’s ear instead of penetrating his skull. When Thomas Matthew Crooks fired the shot, Trump turned his head to look at a jumbotron, a move that ensured his survival.
Netizens react to dramatic footage
The video has left viewers stunned, with many commenting on the apparent miracle of Trump’s survival. One user remarked, “An absolute miracle he moved his head.” Another added, “Trump had divine protection that day.” The precision of the shot led some to speculate about the shooter’s professional skills, with one user stating, “This was a professional sniper. Aiming right at his temple.”
Others suggested divine intervention, with comments like, “It is like an angel whispered into his ear… MOVE!!” and “The tilt that saved America.” The overwhelming sentiment among viewers was that Trump’s narrow escape was either incredibly lucky or divinely orchestrated.
Aftermath of the attack
The assassination attempt injured Trump and two other people, while firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed. Secret Service snipers ultimately took down the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. The incident, which many describe as surreal, continues to elicit strong reactions and theories about divine intervention and luck.
