On Saturday, July 13, 2024, Donald Trump was shot in an assassination attempt that left him injured in his right ear. Consequently, during the Republican National Convention, Trump gave a shoutout to the map he claimed saved his life. 

The 2024 Republican National Convention 

On Thursday, July 18, 2024, Trump made an appearance at the Republican National Convention, which took place at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Trump gave a speech about how the U.S. border was the strongest it had ever been when he left office in 2021. However, when the chart was shown, Trump diverted his attention to informing the audience that it was this chart that saved his life. 

The Immigration Chart That Saves Trump’s Life 

On Saturday, July 13, 2024, while Trump was speaking at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, he referenced the chart. Trump had turned to look at the chart when the shot was filed, which consequently led to the missing Trump whistling off his ear.

The chart gives detailed information on how many illegal immigrants are coming into the country. Trump told the crowd how proud he was of the chart, pointing out the difference in illegal crossings under his administration. During Trump’s tenure between 2017 and 2021, there was a reduction in illegal immigrants.

After observing that the chart was visible on the convention’s main screen, Trump said, “Oh, there it is; that’s pretty good. Wow. The last time I put up that chart, I never really got to look at it. Without this chart, I would not be here today.”

Donald Trump Rally Shooting

Around 6:15 pm on Saturday, July 13, 2024, numerous gunshots were heard while Trump was giving his speech. Trump had turned right to look at the chart when a bullet ricocheted off him, tearing the upper part of his right ear. This was confirmed by Trump, who posted a statement confirming the incident involving his shooting.

After Trump was shot, he fell to the floor, grabbing his ear, following Secret Service instructions. Subsequently, the agents rush to the stage to protect the president by forming a shield around him. However, while the agents were trying to safeguard Trump, subsequent gunshots were heard from rally participants.

Trump’s Rally Victims

Trump was injured in the attack that killed firefighter Corey Comperatore and injured David Dutch and James Copenhaver. During his speech on Thursday, July 18, 2024, Trump also paid honor to them, referring to the injured guys as great heroes. Trump said that sadly the attempt resulted in the death of a true American hero, Corey Comperatore, and injuring of two great warriors.

Additionally, Trump said that he spoke to all three victims’ families, saying that the Republican Party is sending its love and prayers to them. Trump stated that Comperatore was a highly respected former fire chief. Comperatore had attended Trump’s rally accompanied by his wife, Helen, and two daughters. Comperatore got shot while ensuring the life and safety of his family. 

Apart from Comperatore, two other people were injured in the rally shootout. The two victims have been identified as 57-year-old David Dutch and 74-year-old James Copenhaver. Dutch resides in New Kensington, while Copenhaver resides in Moon Township, Pennsylvania. According to Pennsylvania State Police on Sunday, July 14, 2024, the two victims have been stabilized and are now responding to treatment. Dutch and Copenhaver were transferred to Allegheny General Hospital after they were injured, with hospital officials confirming their recovery. 

POLL — Should Donald J. Trump Be Allowed to Run for Office?

Donald Trump

Born on June 14, 1946, Donald John Trump is an American politician, businessman, and media personality. From 2017 to 2021, he led the country as its 45th president. Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in economics. In 1971, his father appointed him president of his real estate company.

Subsequently, after giving it a new name, the Trump Organization focused on developing and remodeling buildings, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He started profitable side businesses in the late 1990s after a string of unsuccessful commercial endeavors, most of which involved licensing the Trump name. He co-produced and served as the host of the reality television program The Apprentice from 2004 until 2015.

However, while Trump lost the general election, he defeated Hillary Clinton in the electoral college, winning the 2016 presidential election. Russia had meddled in the election in Trump’s favor, according to a special counsel probe. His political stances were characterized as nationalist, populist, isolationist, and protectionist during the campaign. Protests against his election and policies were widespread.
