Trump claims he sleeps next to ‘all-time favorite’ chart, trolls say ‘he’s milking’ assassination attempt

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA: GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump claimed he sleeps next to his "all-time favorite" immigration chart that "saved his life".

While speaking at rally in Savannah, Georgia on Tuesday, September 24, the former president praised the immigration chart toward which he turned to look when a bullet, that was shot at him, grazed his right ear during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler on July 13, 2024, per OK Magazine.

Donald Trump claims he sleeps next to his 'all-time favorite' chart

Donald Trump said during the rally, "I have a chart that's my all-time favorite! I love tha— is it around? .... is it around?" He turned around, strolled toward the back of the stage, paused, and pretended to hug the air.

He returned to the podium and said, "I love it! I sleep with that chart every night. I kiss it. I love it, because that chart saved my life. If I didn’t look to the right, I wouldn’t be here with you today, I guarantee you that."

Trump added, "My two sons are great shooters and they said, 'Dad, from 130 yards, a bad shooter couldn’t miss with that gun.'"

Trump has credited the immigration chart he turned to at his rally in Pennsylvania as the reason he survived the assassination attempt on July 13. Trump had just turned to glance at the graphic showing illegal border crossings on a large screen behind him in the split second before the shot was fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks.

The GOP nominee also talked about the second alleged assassination attempt that took place on September 15, while he was playing a round of golf at his West Palm Beach course.

He said, "This guy (the agent) was no games, and he was walking down the middle of that fairway, and he’s looking over and what does he see? He sees a rifle, just a small part of a very big weapon, and you see the barrel coming out of very heavy shrubbery."

He further added, "I’m telling you, that’s — God was watching there too, because you needed somebody really sharp. We are consequential. We’re going to be even more consequential because we’re going to do things that nobody has ever been able to do in this country."

Ryan Wesley Routh, the second would-be assassin who targeted Trump, was arrested on September 15.
