Trump Reveals The Shocking Comment Biden Just Told Him On The Phone

President Donald Trump discussed a conversation he had with President Joe Biden following a near-fatal assassination attempt on July 13.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Trump's chosen vice-presidential candidate, and Trump shared details of their conversation during a joint interview. Trump narrowly avoided being struck by an AR-15 rifle bullet during a rally by turning his head. According to reconstructions, had he not turned to look at a chart during his speech, he would likely have been hit in the side and back of his head.

“It was good. It was a nice conversation,” Trump told Fox News host Jesse Watters in his first interview since the incident. “He said ‘You’re lucky you turned to the right.’ Obviously someone briefed him, but he did say that to me. ‘You’re lucky you turned to the right.’”

Watters added to the moment by saying, “The country is lucky if it turns to the right.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice?” Trump replied.

Earlier in the interview, President Trump recounted how his Secret Service agents reacted quickly and mentioned a brief disagreement about their plan to take him off the stage using a stretcher. Contrary to expectations, Trump stood up immediately after being grazed by the bullet and raised his fist in triumph, which captivated public interest and landed him on the cover of Time Magazine.

“They thought I was hit in this area,” Trump said, pointing to his chest, “and I said ‘No, I’m okay. I’m fine. I’m going to get up. I’m not going to be taken out on a stretcher.’ We had a little argument while I had six guys lying on top of me.”

President Trump has seen a boost in his support ratings in some polls due to a bipartisan outpouring of sympathy. Additionally, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned on Tuesday after publicly accepting responsibility for the incident. President Biden announced on Sunday that he would not seek a second term, suggesting that if he were to face Trump in November, Trump would have a significant advantage. Instead, it is likely he will face Vice President Kamala Harris, who has energized Democrats but shows only slight improvement in polling against Trump compared to Biden.

The Republican National Convention last week served as a rallying point for the GOP to support Trump’s candidacy and officially introduce Vance as his running mate. Delegates and attendees were seen wearing cotton bandages on their right ears in solidarity with the Republican party. Public figures such as Joe Rogan and Mark Zuckerberg have commented on the dramatic and courageous incident involving Trump. He is the only sitting or former president to have survived a shooting since President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.
