Donald Trump’s top campaign adviser says the former president’s life was saved by his decision to consult graphics on the giant screen at his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Dan Scavino Jr. said a slight movement of Trump’s head toward the visual aid on the screen was the decision to have the bullet just graze his ear instead of passing through his head.
“Thank goodness at last night’s rally President Trump wanted to use and reference the jumbotron, causing me to slightly move my head at the moment the shots were fired,” he wrote on X on Sunday morning.
Scavino added: ‘He is grateful for all the prayers, love and support being given to him as he prepares for the Republican Convention in Wisconsin!’
Donald Trump turned his head slightly to the left to reference a giant graphic at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, likely saving his life from being shot by a would-be assassin.
