I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump told the media. He talked to a channel aboard his plane en route to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention where he is set to be confirmed as the party’s presidential candidate.<\/p>\n
It was a “very surreal experience”, he recounted with a white bandage covering his right ear.<\/p>\n
The 78-year-old Trump was hit in the ear by a gunman at a campaign rally on Saturday. He was left with a bloodied face while a bystander was killed and two other people were wounded.<\/p>\n
Trump told the media he would have been dead had he not tilted his head slightly to the right to read a chart on illegal immigrants while addressing the rally.<\/p>\n
“By luck or by God, many people are saying it’s by God I’m still here,” he said. But will this generate some sympathy is the question.<\/p>\n
Some police analysts are of the opinion and in doubt saying that it could have been planned to gain some sympathy for the coming elections.<\/p>\n
The Federal authorities are investigating and the truth will come out soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
