Former US President Donald Trump vividly recounted his assassination attempt in a recent rally at Pennsylvania‘s Bethel Park, describing it as “not pleasant” during a conversation with tech giant and world’s richest person, Elon Musk.
The interview, titled “no limits,” marked Trump’s high-profile return to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.The session was briefly delayed by a DDoS attack, starting more than half an hour late.
“I knew immediately it was a bullet, I knew it was near my ear,” Trump told X CEO Elon Musk, who has endorsed his candidacy. “I heard people shouting, ‘Bullets, bullets.’”
He further described the situation, saying, “we had bullets flying right over my head after I went down. So I’m glad I went down. The bigger miracle was that I was looking in the exact direction of [Crooks].”
Trump also spoke about Corey Comperatore, the man who lost his life in the attack, calling him a “great Trumper” and a terrific person. He added that supporters had raised significant funds for Comperatore’s family.
The former US President commended the secret service for the swift actions and the crowd’s ability to remain calm.
“You didn’t have anybody flee, you didn’t have anyone stampede,” Trump remarked, noting his immediate concern about the lack of security on the rooftop.
“That would have been the spot [for a gunman],” he added.
