Bloody details of Trump assassination attempt revealed in new book

Donald Trump Assassination
  • A new book, 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, reveals new details of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July.
  • Trump was rushed to the hospital after being shot at by Thomas Matthew Crooks, with aides initially believing he had been hit multiple times due to significant bleeding.
  • Despite the severity, Trump reportedly made jokes in the hospital and later described the bleeding as "like a bitch."
  • The incident led to an outpouring of support for Trump from figures like Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk, who officially endorsed him.
  • Trump also had a brief, awkward call with Joe Biden following the attack, which Trump described as "very nice, actually."
