REPORT: Donald Trump says a last millisecond head tilt likely saved his life as slowed-down footage shows the bullet grazing his ear.
If Trump hadn't moved his head, the bullet would likely have hit the rear of his head, ending his life.
Trump says he turned his head to look at the illegal immigration statistics that were on the big screen at his rally.
"That chart that I was going over saved my life," Trump reportedly said to former White House doctor Ronny Jackson.
"The border patrol saved my life."
"If I hadn’t pointed at that chart and turned my head to look at it, that bullet would have hit me right in the head."
I’ve lost a lot of followers since my last tweet. I’ve bit my tongue for the last 4 years about politics. I won’t do it anymore. Idc. We’re becoming a banana republic. You don’t jail your opponents. You don’t assassinate them.
Give me Trump 2024. That’s where I stand.
I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Trump just won the election.
I already made this Trump hype video to “Many Men” by 50 Cent.
Now it hits even harder.
Fuck you Dems. Swing at the king, ya best not miss.
