💨 Abstract

On the one-year anniversary of an assassination attempt, former President Donald Trump admitted to being "whacked" when a bullet grazed his ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024. He praised the Secret Service but acknowledged mistakes in security, such as not having agents in the building from where the shots came. He commended their swift response, particularly a counter-sniper who neutralized the threat. Trump also mentioned surviving a second assassination attempt later that year.
