Daily Telegraph – Trump: God alone saved me
The front page of the Daily Telegraph leads with a large image of Jude Bellingham with his head in his hands following England’s loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final. Elsewhere, the front page features comments from former President Donald Trump’s first speech since he was shot at the weekend. The attempted assassination and football are the lead stories on most UK newspapers this morning.
‘God alone’ saved me, says Donald Trump
Donald Trump has said “God alone” saved his life from an assassination attempt, as he called Americans to unite against political violence.
The former president struck a statesmanlike tone after narrowly escaping death when 20-year-old registered Republican, Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania.
One attendee at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania where the gun attack took place was killed and two more were hospitalised, investigators said on Sunday.
Sending his “love” to victims of the shooting on Saturday, Trump said he was praying for the wounded and called on Americans to remain “resilient” in the face of “wickedness”.
The presumptive Republican nominee thanked his security team for protecting him after a bullet “ripped through” his ear, causing a minor injury. Images of the attack showed that the rounds missed Trump’s head by mere inches.
