Former President Donald Trump credits an immigration statistics chart for saving his life during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Trump explained that as he turned to look at the chart, a bullet missed his head by a quarter of an inch. The incident occurred on July 13, and Trump has reiterated that without the chart, he would not be alive today. The chart, which displayed illegal immigration statistics, was prominently featured on a jumbotron during his speech. Trump's former White House doctor, Rep. Ronny Jackson, confirmed the account, stating that the chart's timing was crucial in averting the assassination attempt by Thomas Crooks. Trump also mentioned that the chart included border patrol statistics.
