JAKARTA - Former US President Donald Trump said he should have died after an assassination attempt that was described as 'unreal.'
"I shouldn't be here, I should be dead," Trump told the New York Post in an interview on his plane en route to Milwaukee to attend the Republican National Convention.
As reported by CBS News, Monday, July 15, Trump told the newspaper he would have been killed if he had not tilted his head slightly to the right to read a graphic about illegal immigrants while speaking at a rally.
"Thankfully or because of God, a lot of people say because of God I'm still here," he said.
He praised the Secret Service agents who killed the shooter.
"They killed him with one shot right between the eyes," he said.

Trump said the assassination attempt prompted him to rewrite a speech he had prepared for the convention.
He said he had originally prepared a speech that was very harsh on US President Joe Biden's bad administration. "But I threw it out because he said hope would unite our country," Trump said.
Trump was wounded in the ear in a shooting at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13, in an attack that is being investigated as an assassination attempt.
The attacker was shot dead and law enforcement officials said they had not identified a motive. The shooting killed one person and wounded two others.
