A new visualization highlights the close call former President Donald Trump had during a Pennsylvania rally, where he narrowly avoided a potential threat to his life. Trump attributed his survival to a moment of distraction, turning to look at illegal immigration statistics on a large screen just as a bullet flew past.
In a conversation with former White House doctor Ronny Jackson, Donald Trump recounted, “That chart that I was going over saved my life,” emphasizing the role of the displayed statistics in his survival. He credited the Border Patrol for his safety, reflecting on the split-second decision to glance at the chart, which he believes diverted the bullet away from him.
This incident underscores the unpredictable nature of security threats in public settings and the consequential outcomes of split-second decisions.
