Former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on Saturday, attributing his survival to "luck or God." In a joint interview with the New York Post and the Washington Examiner, Trump reflected on the life-threatening incident, stating, "I'm supposed to be dead. By luck or by God, many people are saying it's by God I’m still here."
The attempt on his life reportedly occurred during a public appearance, and Trump believes a spontaneous action saved him. "I rarely look away from the crowd," he explained. "Had I not done that in that moment, well, we will not be talking today, would we?"

Medical professionals who attended to Trump were equally astonished. "The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this. He called it a miracle," Trump recounted.
As investigations continue into the assassination attempt, Trump’s supporters and critics alike are expressing relief and concern over the incident. The former president's brush with death highlights ongoing security challenges and the precarious nature of public life for high-profile political figures.
