WASHINGTON, DC: Days after Donald Trump was the target of an attempted assassination that resulted in injuries to his right ear, a new close-up video has surfaced that shows Thomas Crooks' perfectly timed headshot, which would have killed the former president if he hadn't tipped his head.

In a video that meme creator C3PMeme shot and Collin Rugg uploaded, "Trump could be seen doing a similar 'head tilt' as he did where he quite literally dodged a bullet."

Thomas Crooks' shot was perfectly aimed at Donald Trump's head

According to reports, Collin Rugg stated in a post on X, "New close-up footage shows that Thomas Crooks' shot was perfectly centered in the middle of Trump's head."

"A combination of Trump tilting his head sideways to look at the graphic on the screen along with him leaning into the microphone, saved him his life," he further added.

Rugg went on to criticize those who questioned whether the assassination attempt was fatal.



 

"This debunks the BS argument of: 'Oh, any person who has shot a gun before would easily make that shot at 130 yards," Rugg remarked.

"Hereditarian rationalist," Constantin Marcato responded, before asking, "Wouldn't aiming for the chest have increased the odds of hitting the target?"

On Saturday, July 13, an assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump occurred at his rally in Pennsylvania. The gunman and one of the attendees were killed in the shooting.

Internet believes Donald Trump had 'divine protection'

After the video of Thomas Crooks' perfect aim at Donald Trump went viral, social media users were shocked and called the former president being alive a "miracle".

One person wrote, "An absolute miracle he moved his head."



 

Another added, "Trump had divine protection that day."



 

One commentator wrote, “It is like an angel whispered into his ear... MOVE!!”



 

“It turns my stomach every time I see how close this was. Divine intervention is the only explanation,” one person wrote.



 

One X claimed, “It’s only by God’s grace that this did not turn into a tragedy for the Trump family.”
