Trump gets personal…
During his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday night, Donald Trump recounted the assassination attempt on his life; “As you already know, the assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life.”
“So many people have asked me what happened, and therefore, I’ll tell you what happened,” Trump continued.
“You’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s too painful to tell,” he said.
Trump went on to describe the moments surrounding the attack on his life.
Trump praised the “very brave Secret Service agents who rushed to the stage and pounced on top of me for protection.”
“There was blood pouring everywhere, and yet, in a certain way, I felt very safe, because I had God on my side,” Trump said. “The amazing thing is that prior to the shot, if I had not moved my head at the very last instant, the assassin’s bullet would have perfectly hit its mark, and I would not be with you tonight.”
“I am not supposed to be here tonight. I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of almighty God. Many people say it was a providential moment,” Trump said.
“Yes you are! Yes you are!” the crowd chanted.
“None of us knows God’s plan, or where life’s adventure will take us,” Trump continued. “But if the events of last Saturday make anything clear, it is that every single moment we have on earth is a gift from God. We have to make the most of every day for the people and country we love.”
Trump told his supporters that the MAGA movement “has never been about me, it has always been about you.”
“It has always been about the hardworking, patriotic citizens of America,” he said.
