In the Cover Story for July 15, 2024; Cliff Hughes and Ricardo Brooks are joined by: Donald Tapia, Former US Ambassador to Jamaica; and Professor Richard Parker, Senior Fellow, Shorenstein Centre at Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
They discuss Former US President Donald Trump saying he is supposed to be dead after Saturday night's assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A spectator was killed in the attack, while two other people were seriously injured. The gunman, who also died, has been identified as 20yearold Thomas Matthew Crooks. Reports are that US Secret Service snipers killed the shooter after he fired eight rounds.
The former president could be seen touching his ear as the shooting unfolded before he was shielded by Secret Service and whisked offstage with blood on his face and into an SUV to safety. Trump said in a social media post that a bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear.
In one of his first interviews since the incident, Trump said he felt he had been saved by luck or by God. Trump says it was the most incredible thing that he happened to not only turn his head, but to do so at the right time. He says the bullet that grazed his ear could have easily killed him.
