Former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt last night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Multiple videos captured by bystanders and journalists documented the moments before, during, and after the shooting incident.
In a surprising twist, a four-month-old video has resurfaced online that appears to have predicted the attack on Trump. On March 14, Bradon Biggs, who runs a YouTube channel focusing on “visions and prophetic warnings,” posted a video claiming he had a divine vision about an attempt on Trump’s life.
“I saw an attempt on his (Donald Trump) life. This bullet flew by his ear and it came so close to his head that it busted his eardrum, and I saw he fell to his knees during this timeframe and started worshipping the lord,” Biggs said in the video.
The 78-year-old Trump had just begun his speech when shots rang out, hitting his right ear and streaking his face with blood. Witnesses reported seeing him drop to his knees behind the podium. Approximately a minute later, Trump emerged, mouthing “Fight! Fight! Fight!” and pumping his fist in the air.
The resurfaced clip of Biggs predicting the attack has since gone viral on social media platforms, with many users sharing and commenting on the eerie accuracy of his vision. In the same video, Biggs also claimed to have seen Trump winning the presidency.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks as the “subject involved” in the assassination attempt. Crooks was shot dead by a Security Services agent during the incident.
Tragically, one rally attendee was killed and two other spectators were injured in the shooting. The incident occurred less than four months before the November 5 election, where Trump is set to face off against Democratic President Joe Biden. Recent opinion polls, including those conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, show the two candidates locked in a close contest.
This incident marks the first shooting of a US president or major party candidate since the 1981 attempted assassination of Republican President Ronald Reagan. The shooting has raised immediate concerns about potential security failures by the Secret Service, which is responsible for providing lifetime protection to former presidents, including Trump.
