Former President Donald Trump said it was a “miracle” that he survived after being shot in Saturday’s attack, according to a doctor who saw him.
A man was shot from a height during a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, causing his ear to bleed.
A shooter killed rally firefighter Corey Comperatore and seriously injured both others. The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was shot by an undercover agent.
“The doctor at the hospital said he’s never seen anything like this, he called it a miracle,” Trump told the New York Post on Sunday, aboard a private jet flying to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention.
“I shouldn’t be here, I should be dead,” he said.
According to the Washington Post, Trump has a large white scarf wrapped around his right ear, but his team does not allow photographs to be taken.
He said doctors told him they had never seen anyone who survived being hit by an AR-15.
We reached out to Trump's spokesperson via email for further comment.
Trump also told the Washington Post about a photo he took after the shooting of his face covered in blood and his fist in the air.
Many people say this is the most iconic image they have ever seen," he said. "They're right, I'm not dead. Usually, to have an iconic image, you have to die." Following the shooting, President Biden called him and described the president as "great."
The FBI is investigating the shooting. The agency said Sunday that a motive for the attack has not yet been determined, but investigators believe Crooks acted alone.
