The entire world waited in shock after President Trump was shot last year. When he stood and shouted “Fight, Fight, Fight”, the world praised God.Â
Susie Wiles thought that President Trump was dead when he was shot on July 13, one year ago.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles recalled the chaos of the Butler assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in a new interview, saying she thought the president was dead at first.
“We were just crazy the minute he was hit,” Wiles said, as she admitted she thought Trump had been killed by the gunfire.
Speaking with Miranda Devine Wednesday on “Pod Force One,” Wiles suggested divine intervention saved Trump’s life, noting the placement of the immigration chart he had up on the big LED screen at his rally caused him to turn his head in a different direction, just as the shots were fired.
“So to have him ask for that chart, eight minutes in, and to have it come on the side that was opposite, caused him to look in a different direction and lift his head just a little because it was higher, and that just doesn’t happen because it happened,” she said.
Trump grabbed his ear as it was struck and quickly went down as Secret Service agents rushed the stage. He stood up with blood streaming down the side of his face and yelled, “Fight!” at roaring supporters as he was taken to safety, in one of the most memorable images in American political history.
“You think the worst. You cannot, it’s human, you can’t think otherwise. And when he stood up, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh,’” Wiles told Devine.
Wiles, who was the successful campaign’s co-chair, said it was clear soon after they arrived at the hospital that Trump was going to be okay.
