Biden Told Trump He Was ‘Lucky’ to Survive Assassination Attempt

In a startling revelation, President Joe Biden reportedly told former President Donald Trump that he was "lucky to be alive" after surviving an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The incident, which took place on July 13, 2024, saw 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks open fire, injuring Trump and several others, and killing one spectator.

Trump was grazed by a bullet in the ear during the attack, but quick action by a Secret Service sniper neutralized the threat with a precision shot that was described as "one in a million"​. Two other individuals, James Copenhaver and David Dutch, who were wounded during the shooting, are now in serious but stable condition.

The aftermath of the attack saw Biden reaching out to Trump. The President's phone call was described as cordial, with Biden expressing relief over Trump's survival and emphasizing the fortunate outcome amid the tragic event​​.

The attempted assassination has significantly impacted Trump, who mentioned in his revised speech at the Republican National Convention that he felt he had been given another chance to achieve something great. He highlighted a theme of unity in the wake of the tragedy, echoing sentiments shared by supporters like Dr. Ben Carson​.

Investigations revealed that Crooks had meticulously planned the attack, using a drone to survey the rally grounds beforehand. The drone's flight path suggested multiple reconnaissance missions prior to the event, indicating a high level of premeditation.

The shooting has raised serious concerns about the security measures in place at political events. The Secret Service has come under scrutiny for what has been termed a failed security plan, despite the presence of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents supporting the Secret Service during the rally​.

In response to the incident, Trump has continued his campaign, undeterred by the assassination attempt, using the experience to galvanize his supporters and underscore the risks he faces while running for office. The rally in Butler has become a poignant moment in his campaign, symbolizing both the dangers of political violence and the resilience of his bid for the presidency.

The broader implications of this event extend to the national political climate, as security concerns for political figures are heightened. The Secret Service and other protective agencies are likely to reevaluate and strengthen their protocols to prevent such incidents in the future. As the 2024 election approaches, the safety of candidates remains a paramount concern for both parties and the American public.

    • no matter who wins the election, IF Amerika doesn’t get deadly serious about stopping the abusive gov’t., that we love paying for (?) IT will end in mass murder, like all other socialist evil empires. The post above & below believe IT is only Obiden that is behind this? Half of Amerika is socialist/communist. Most of the other half are cowards. And “they” have a 2nd amendment? The 2nd is useless to a coward

  2. Biden is just sick that his plot to eliminate Trump failed. I will never believe that the demonRAT communist party was not responsible for the attempt. The FBI and the USSS were all involved and it will take a huge effort to get the truth. I pray that Sen Ron Johnson, who seems to be really going all out to get the facts, gets the information the American people deserve. Whomever is found complicit MUST be punished with “extermination”.

  3. we are still getting leaks from 60 years ago about JFK. The FIBbers have been evil, at least, since 1963. Defund the unGREATful SOCIETY and the Gestapo/BIG TECH
