Donald Trump revealed in a newly aired interview what President Biden told him shortly after the Republican presidential nominee survived an assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania campaign rally.
“He said, ‘You’re lucky you turned to the right,’” Trump, 78, told Fox News host Jesse Watters of his phone call with the 81-year-old president.
The former president characterized his chat with Biden as a ”nice conversation.”
In the interview, which was taped Saturday but aired Monday, Trump also revealed that he refused orders to be carried off stage on a stretcher after the sniper’s bullet grazed his ear.
“They wanted to put me on a stretcher,” Trump said. “They had a stretcher, and they wanted to put me on a stretcher. And I said, ‘I’m not going on a stretcher.’”
