NEW YORK POST splashes exclusive interview with Donald Trump after weekend assassination attempt

Just hours after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the New York POST got an exclusive interview with the former president.

The POST said that Trump was bandaged but photos were not permitted to be taken..

Some quotes:

On the shooting: “I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump said. “I’m supposed to be dead”

On the “get my shoes” request.. “The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight,” he said with a smile.

On the shooter: “They took him out with one shot right between the eyes,” the former president said as he pointed to the bridge of his nose. “They did a fantastic job,” he added. “It’s surreal for all of us.”

On the photo and the “fight” with a fist pump: “A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen,” Trump said. “They’re right and I didn’t die. Usually you have to die to have an iconic picture.” He added, “I just wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot.”

“By luck or by God, many people are saying it’s by God I’m still here,” he said.
