Watch: RNC Crowd Actually Disagrees with Trump, And He Can’t Help but Smile

Donald Trump addressed the delegates at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Thursday, beginning with the words, “I’m not supposed to be here,” referencing the assassination attempt he survived over the weekend.

The audience, however, disagreed and began chanting, “Yes you are! Yes you are!”

The 45th president announced he would recount the events of the previous Saturday's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, only once due to the emotional toll of the incident.

Trump described the moment the bullet grazed his ear, recalling the force of the impact and his initial confusion about what had happened.

Realizing it was gunfire, he quickly ducked, and Secret Service agents immediately acted to protect him.

At that critical moment, Trump said he felt no fear.

“There was blood pouring everywhere, and yet, in a certain way, I felt very safe because I had God on my side. I felt that,” he shared.

Trump elaborated that his timely turn had saved his life; had the bullet struck differently, it would have penetrated his skull.

By his estimation, the difference between life and death was merely a quarter of an inch.

“I’m not supposed to be here tonight,” Trump reiterated, emphasizing the narrow escape.

The audience instantly responded with shouts of, “Yes you are! Yes you are,” which grew into a chant.

“Thank you, but I’m not,” Trump said, smiling, but acknowledging that divine intervention had thwarted the assassin’s plans.

“I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God,” he declared, receiving applause from the crowd.
