New York/Pennsylvania: Recently released close-up footage has revealed the terrifying moment when an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump narrowly missed its mark. The video, filmed by C3PMeme, shows Trump tilting his head, a move that ultimately saved his life during the incident at his Pennsylvania rally.
The chilling footage shows the bullet, fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks, was perfectly centered on Trump’s head. However, Trump’s slight movement to glance at a jumbotron caused the bullet to skim his ear instead of penetrating his skull. Israeli Special Operations veteran Aaron Cohen told Fox News that this split-second move was what saved Trump’s life.
Shocked viewers reacted to the video, with one commenting, “An absolute miracle he moved his head.” Another user wrote, “Trump had divine protection that day,” while others speculated about the sniper’s position, suggesting the shots came from a water tower observed by many onlookers.
The attempted assassination has stirred a wide range of reactions online. One user commented, “It is like an angel whispered into his ear… MOVE!!” Another wrote, “The tilt that saved America.” Many attributed Trump’s survival to divine intervention, with one saying, “It’s only by God’s grace that this did not turn into a tragedy for the Trump family.”
The assassination attempt resulted in injuries to Trump and two other individuals, and tragically, firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed. Secret Service snipers eventually neutralized Crooks.
This incident has heightened security concerns and brought to light the continued risks faced by public figures. The video underscores the narrow margin between life and death in such high-stakes situations and has left many questioning the circumstances and potential lapses in security.
The footage continues to circulate widely, with many still expressing disbelief over the narrow escape and the implications of what could have been a significant tragedy.
