The former US president has expressed his intention to unify the country following his survival from an assassination attempt. Donald Trump recounted being fortunate to have evaded death when a gunman targeted him during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, indicating a sense of incredulity that he was not fatally harmed. Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old local resident, fired multiple rounds from an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle toward the former president, resulting in injuries to Trump, the loss of a supporter's life, and severe wounds inflicted upon two others. Secret Service officers swiftly neutralized the shooter at the scene.
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump acknowledged the extraordinary circumstances of his survival, noting that a doctor had deemed it a "miracle" he had endured the attack. He emphasized that his escape from a fatal wound was partially attributed to an instinctual movement when the first shot was discharged. Trump praised the Secret Service's prompt response to the assailant's threat and expressed a desire to continue the rally following the attack, although agents advised against it, leading to his hospitalization.
Recalling his departure from the stage, Trump highlighted the iconic image of him raising his fist and shouting "Fight! Fight! Fight!" as he was led away, underlining the significance of the photograph in light of his survival. Trump also spoke positively about the outreach from US President Joe Biden, describing it as a "fine gesture" and emphasizing the president's affability during their conversation.
Trump revealed that he was intending to deliver a particularly strident speech prior to the incident, focusing on the purportedly "corrupt, horrible administration." However, he discarded this prepared speech in favor of his newly espoused intention to seek national unity, acknowledging the deeply entrenched divisions within the country.
