Trump admits that the assassination attempt he survived had an impact on him
The 78-year-old former US President, who survived an assassination attempt, made a confession after the high-profile incident.
Donald Trump has confirmed that the assassination attempt has had an impact on him.
American and world media are actively discussing the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate several months before the elections.
The politician was interviewed by ABC News journalists. They asked whether the events of recent days had influenced him and his worldview.
The former US President admitted that such thoughts visit him, but he is not thrilled about them.
"I don't like to think about it, but yes, I think [the assassination attempt] affected [me]," Trump shared.
On July 13, 20-year-old Pennsylvania native Thomas Crooks attempted to shoot the former American president during a public event.
The attacker fired several shots from a distance of about 100 meters in the direction of the stage from which Trump was speaking. The politician was wounded in the ear.
He got off easy compared to the others present who came under fire. One person died, two were seriously injured. The shooter was eliminated.
