President Trump recounts the assassination attempt on his life this past Sunday: "3 days ago, there was yet another assassination attempt on my life. It was the second one in 8 weeks by a violent, radical-left monster."
3 days ago, there was yet another assassination
attempt on my life. I didn't know I was going to stand up.
It
was the second 1 in 8 weeks by a violent, radical-left
mobster.
This evil would-be assassin got within a few hundred yards of where I stood, but thankfully
our outstanding
Secret Service agent — and they are outstanding
— spotted the barrel of his rifle in the bushes. Can you believe that? Can you believe that? He saw a barrel
of a big, big, this was a big barrel.
This was a big, this you don't want to even talk about,
AK-47.
But he saw the barrel coming out a little bit out of the very lush bushes.
And he took fast action to stop the gunman before I even entered the line of sight. And I want to express my thanks to the
U.S. Secret Service,
who was there that day, and
to all of the sheriffs and law enforcement down in Florida, they're heroes who
helped to apprehend
the attacker.
And by the way, you possibly heard the story.
So the secret agent,
service agent,
pulled out the gun and started shooting. He said, oh, Barrow, he didn't talk like a lot of people. They talk. How are you, sir? What would you like to talk about?
Would you like to talk about the weather?
No, He pulled out the gun and he started shooting at him.
And the villain —
no, but think of this.
This could only happen
with a woman because men aren't smart enough, I hate to tell you fellas.
So
he dropped his gun,
his car was a block away, and he started running because
they had him.
And he was running, running, running.
And a woman driving her car innocently
said, he looks like a bad person to me. He looks very suspicious.
And she followed him
and pulled up to the back of the car
and started taking
pictures
of his license plate. Can you believe that?
And
she took the pictures of his license plate, perfect, beautiful pictures like a professional
photographer,
and sent them to the sheriff
and said, I just looked at a man, there was something strange going on.
Who the hell would do that?
Right?
Only a woman.
Only a woman.
Well.
Now
I asked the sheriff today, I said, so, Sheriff, if you had a thousand events,
how many people would have done that? Man or woman, how many people would have done that? Followed him, taken pictures of the license plate and also the type of truck that he was driving. He said, maybe none.
So she's a hero. I got to meet her.
And because of that, they were then
able to catch
him in a very
speedy
drive down the
various highways in Florida. But they got him, and they got him fast. But I think it's incredible. So the agent
and that wonderful woman,
and with all of my heart, I thank you all for your incredible valor. What you've done is incredible. What the people of our country and law enforcement does in this country is incredible.
