He usually refers to it at the end of his speeches, but this time, he went to it early. This time, it was on his right when it’s usually to his left. When Donald Trump turned his head to refer to the chart at his rally in Butler, Pa., an assassin’s bullet whizzed by, grazing his ear. If not for him turning his head, he would be dead.
“I love that chart,” Trump would say from then on. “That chart saved my life.”
Aside from saving a President’s life, The Chart has other significant meanings in the annals of American history. It depicts the massive spike in illegal immigration under the Biden-Harris Administration. Its figures, provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, show the least amount of illegal border crossings since 2012 occurring under Trump. The most, by far, happening under Biden and Trump’s opponent in his bid to take back the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris. The former president estimates that 20 million aliens from more than 150 countries crossed the border since he left office.
The contrast is as vivid as the photo of Trump after he was shot, blood streaming down his face, fist in the air, yelling “Fight, Fight, Fight.” He was exhorting a crowd of nearly 100,000 not to give up fighting against a government regime that let millions of illegal aliens loose into their country.
