“The way the rally itself unfolded, the chart he had them put up on the screens…it was always the last chart in the rotation. And it was always on the other side of the stage…to have it come on the side that is opposite caused him to look in a different direction…I believe God wanted him to live.”
Sean M. Curran, the Secret Service director, told Fox that since that day when he quickly jumped in to save the president, he has thought about safety in light of this event every day following.
“Since President Trump appointed me as director of the United States Secret Service, I have kept my experience on July 13 top of mind, and the agency has taken many steps to ensure such an event can never be repeated in the future.”
He also noted that “My heart will always be with all those impacted on that day, especially Corey Comperatore, who lost his life while protecting those around him.”
Sen. Dave McCormick also noted to Fox that this incident showed Trump’s strong leadership.
/**/“He went down, then stood up and raised his fist in defiance. That moment captured who he is at his core,” McCormick said. “Strong leader sets a tone — like a ripple effect. President Trump didn’t panic and stood strong and so did the crowd. Instead of chaos, chants of ‘USA’ rang out.”
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, also spoke of Corey Compertore and how Trump’s survival was due to God’s protective hand.
“President Trump will never forget Corey and his beautiful family. On that dark day, God spared President Trump’s life by a miraculous millimeter. Now one year later, President Trump is standing stronger than ever as he continues to ‘fight, fight, fight’ for the American people.”
