Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who survived an assassination attempt, has described hearing the bullet that flew past his right ear as that of a noisy mosquito as he courted voters at Butler in Pennsylvania Saturday evening.
Narrating his close brush with death, the former U.S. leader explained that he was trying to find immigration figures on a board when he heard the sound of what he assumed to be a “mosquito or bumble bee.”
The former president spoke with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Sunday afternoon from his gold resort in Bedminster, New Jersey.

“He said he was trying to turn towards a board to his right that contained statistics on immigration and then he immediately felt something flew by his right ear like a mosquito or bumble bee,” Mr Baier said while relaying the conversation during an appearance on the cable channel at the 3:00 p.m. hour.
The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was gunned down by security agents at the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where two others were critically injured.
Former First Lady Melania Trump flayed the shooter as a monster who could not see her husband beyond an inhumane political machine, not knowing he had a “human side” buried deep under all the politicking everyone got to see.
Mrs Trump said differing political ideologies should not trump love, compassion and kindness as they were necessities through which humans traverse life.
“Let us not forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love,” Mrs Trump said in a statement on Sunday.
