‘I’m meant to be dead’: Trump describes split-second moment that saved his life as he vows to ‘unite the country’
Donald Trump has said that he’s “supposed to be dead” as he spoke out about the split-second moment that saved his life when a would-be assassin opened fire during a campaign rally at the weekend.
In one of his first interviews since the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, the former president described his survival as a “miracle” and claimed that it had given him new perspective heading into the Republican National Convention to “unite the country”.
“The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle,” Mr Trump told the New York Post while travelling to the event in Milwaukee. “I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead. I’m supposed to be dead.”
England manager to decide on future with Eddie Howe linked after Euro 2024 final loss
Speculation has begun that Southgate will move on before the 2026 World Cup and there are new candidates emerging as to who will replace him with former Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp and current Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on the wishlist.
The FA may be looking for a manager with a more attacking philosophy to fully unlock a talented squad and build on the platform created by the current Three Lions boss, after he led them from the doldrums of a humiliating Euro 2016 loss to Iceland to consistently competing at the business end of tournaments.
The Three Lions came so close to glory at the last Euros, losing to Italy in a heartbreaking penalty shootout at Wembley, and fell behind in Berlin as Nico Williams gave Spain the lead before Jordan Pickford was forced into a stunning save to deny Lamine Yamal.
