Trump Credits Illegal Immigration Chart For Saving His Life

In the aftermath of the attempt to assassinate him, former President Donald Trump has become reflective about he miracle that saved his life.

According to his former doctor, Donald Trump believes that an illegal immigration chart he was reading and pointing to during his speech in Pennsylvania is the reason he’s still alive today.

“That chart that I was going over saved my life,” Mr. Trump, the Republicans’ presumptive presidential nominee, told the doctor, Representative Ronny Jackson of Texas, by phone a few hours after an assassination attempt.

Mr. Trump was referring to a chart featuring immigration statistics on a screen to his right at his rally in a field in Butler County, Pa. He had turned to point to it and describe what was on the screen when shots rang out.

“He goes, ‘The border patrol saved my life,’” Dr. Jackson recounted in an interview on Sunday. “‘I was going over that border patrol chart.’ He said, ‘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.’”

Dr. Jackson, who wrote on the website X that his nephew had been injured during the assassination attempt, flew overnight to New Jersey from Texas to visit his former patient, who was recovering at his private club in Bedminster. Dr. Jackson recounted Mr. Trump sounding “determined,” adding, “He wasn’t the least bit flustered.”

The Washington Post has reported that Trump believes “he was handed a gift from God. He can’t believe it.”

The newspaper wrote that although plans are still in flux for the convention and cold be changed, we should expect more of a focus on Trump’s “courage and his resilience.”

The convention’s planners, per the former president’s orders, “want speakers to dial it down, not dial it up.” 

The Trump campaign has posted a message on their website to supporters showing the change in tone.
