Recalling this incident, the US President said that I was very lucky at that time that God was protecting me. He said that both my sons had said that the weapon with which I was shot was very modern and the chances of it missing the target were almost nil.

What did Donald Trump say about the incident??

US President Donald Trump said in a telephone interview to Fox News on Monday (July 13, 2026), ‘I was very lucky at that time that God was protecting me, because my sons Don (Donald Trump Jr.) and Eric, both have a lot of knowledge about weapons, they are fond of hunting. He had said that from such a distance the chances of missing the target with that particular type of rifle (which the US police had recovered from the attacker nearby), were almost nil.

He said, ‘He believed that aiming with that particular type of rifle was as easy as hitting the target from a distance of two feet. He had said that from such a distance the aim is almost accurate with that weapon.

What did Donald Trump say about his chart in the rally??

President Donald Trump further said, ‘When I was addressing people in Butler, I turned my head to see a chart. I had never placed that chart on my right side before, but that day I did so. However, I generally don’t use charts much. In my rallies I use the chart perhaps only once out of every 10 and that too always on my left side, but that day God was with me and the bullet just missed my ears.

Us Donald Trump Assassination Plan: Only 17 -year -old Nikita Casap, who lives in the US Wisconsin State, has been arrested. He is accused of killing his parents only so that he could kill President Donald Trump. Because of this, he remains an issue of national security in America. His plan was to kill his parents and run away with all the money present in the house and later with the help of the same money, he would kill President Trump and drop it to the current government.

In February, the accused killed his 35 -year -old mother Tatiana Casap and 51 -year -old stepfather Donald Mayor. Nikita is accused of shooting her parents. Then lived in the same house with corpses for about two weeks. Then ran away with $ 14,000 cash, passport and dog.

When the relatives of Nikita Casap found something strange, they appealed for the welfare check, after which the police came to know about this horrific incident. The matter became more serious when the warrant filed by the FBI revealed that Casap wrote an announcement, in which he not only planned to kill Trump, but also talked about toppling the US government.

Revelations in Casap manifesto
Many things were mentioned in the manifesto written by Cassap.

• Three-pages anti-Jewish documents.
• Adolf Hitler’s praise.
• The spread of extremist ideas on Tiktok and Telegram.
• Talk of killing Trump as an enemy of the nation.

Digital planning and conspiracy to escape Ukraine
According to FBI documents, Cassap had approached a Russian person through a digital platform Telegram and shared a plan to escape to Ukraine. This indicates that the plan could have become part of a potential international conspiracy than domestic terrorism. Casap was arrested from Kansas in March. Casap is currently in jail on bail of $ 1 million and will be produced in court next month. However, public defender Nicole Ostrovski argued in the court that the prosecution has not given concrete evidence against Casap, which is especially related to theft and identity.
