Trump said the shot tore off a small piece of his ear and splattered blood on his forehead and cheek.

As he explained, the shot would have been fatal if he had not turned his head slightly to read a chart about illegal immigrants.

The current Republican candidate detailed how Secret Service agents quickly removed him from the stage, the ‘BBC’ portal detailed.

Despite wanting to continue his speech, the officers informed him that it was not safe and took him to the hospital immediately.

«The officers came flying in like linebackers as soon as the shooting started,» Trump recalled, showing a bruise on his right forearm as he unbuttoned his shirt.

The former president also clarified a mystery that arose after the shooting, when he was heard saying: «Wait, I want my shoes back.»

As he explained in the interview, «The officers hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight.»

The former president praised the Secret Service for their heroic action and for taking down the shooter with a single shot.

«They eliminated him with a single shot right between the eyes,» Trump said. «They did a fantastic job. It’s surreal for all of us,» he added.

Trump also referred to the iconic photo of him raising his fist and saying «Fight» three times as officers evacuated him from the stage.

«A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen,» Trump argued. «They are right and I did not die». «Normally you have to die to have an iconic photo,» he said.

Additionally, Trump revealed that he was working on a new talk for the Republican National Convention, focused on trying to unite the country.

«I had prepared an extremely tough, really good speech about the horrible, corrupt administration,» Trump said, «but I threw it in the trash.»

Additionally, he expressed gratitude for the calm of the crowd during the rally, estimated at 55,000 people, and commented that in other places people would have fled when they heard the gunshots.

«I love them. «They are wonderful people,» said the current candidate for the presidency of the United States according to ‘The Sun’.

The former president also mentioned that he appreciated President Joe Biden’s call, calling it «very kind.»

Trump expressed his intention to attend the funeral of Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who died protecting his family during the shooting.

«Get the numbers, I want to go to the hospital and call all the families,» he said.

Let us remember that the attack left a tragic result of one man dead and two others injured.

Trump concluded by reiterating his gratitude to the Secret Service and reflecting on the division in the country, ‘ BBC ‘ noted.

«I want to try to unite our country,» he said, crossing his arms. But I don’t know if it’s possible. «People are very divided.»

Despite the challenges, Trump remains convinced that success could unite the country, although he did not clearly define what that success would consist of, ‘ The Sun ‘ detailed. HERE a video.
