‘Dodging a bullet’: Donald Trump survives assassination attempt by ‘millimetres’

Sky News Australia host James Morrow says former US president Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt by “millimetres”.
“Literally millimetres difference between clipping the former president apparently on his ear and potentially penetrating his skull - hitting him in the brain,” Mr Morrow said.
“The phrase dodge a bullet, well, I mean this is dodging a bullet right here.”

Australia gets the news to Americans faster and in better detail than our own!!

[@Kelli.B.]

Right?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ CNN was making comments about Trump speech being interrupted by secret service. Umm, what? And this was a good while after it was clear that there were shots. Other channels said there were popping sounds. Okay, fair enough. We weren't certain it was actually gun shots. But I saw another news agency Trump fell during a rally and the secret service got him in a vehicle. I know you don't like him, but that is absolute BS. You are supposed to give people the news, not your tainted opinion on the news.
