Staff Reports
Former President Donald Trump recently opened up about the shocking assassination attempt on his life during an eventful interview on the X platform. Although the technical glitches set the stage for an awkward half-hour delay reminiscent of Ron DeSantis’ own digital blunder, Trump persevered with a recount of his brush with danger. He wasn’t just dodging bullets, but also dodging any semblance of a flawless online experience.
In a moment that mixed humor and divine providence, Trump noted that he was saved by a combination of quick thinking and perhaps a little heavenly intervention. He described how, at just the right angle, he managed to avoid a bullet aimed at his ear while he was focused on a chart discussing illegal immigration. It appears that not only does Trump understand the complexities of border issues, but he also has an uncanny ability to respond to life-threatening situations. Between threats to national security and a potential assassination, he’s clearly the multitasker America needs.

Trump took a moment to honor Corey Comperatore, a supporter who sadly lost his life during the chaos. He referred to Comperatore as a “great Trumper” and noted the outpouring of support within the community, sharing that a significant amount of money had been raised for Comperatore’s family. This is a testament to the solidarity and loyalty that exists among Trump’s followers. While the left might be snickering about the extreme nature of his rally security, Trump’s base stands firm—ready to rally around each other in times of need.
Amid the chaos of the shootings, Trump raised some eyebrows by questioning why there wasn’t better security on the rooftop where the assailant took aim. Given his reputation for keen observation, it’s clear that even in a life-or-death scenario, he wasn’t losing his touch. In a true Trumpian fashion, he praised the Secret Service for their rapid response while reminding everyone else involved how crucial better planning could have been. Instead of panicking, the crowd stayed in place, demonstrating the kind of composure one would hope for during a crisis—and it’s a miracle no one was trampled in the frenzy.
Trump’s return to X marks a triumphant rebound for the former president, as he reconnects with an audience that had once rallied behind him on the platform. Despite the left’s attempts to censor and stifle his voice post-2021, Trump is back and seemingly undeterred by previous bans. Whether addressing serious threats or sharing his thoughts on the pressing issues of illegal immigration, it’s clear that he’s ready to take his message straight to the people—even if it means navigating a few technical hiccups along the way. The message is clear: Trump is not finished—he’s just getting started.
