Former President Donald Trump brought the "computer genius" who prepared the chart he turned to look at just before the assassin opened fire on him onto the stage on Wednesday.
At his campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the 78-year-old Trump said, "I love that chart. I'm going to sleep with that chart for the rest of my life," while the famous immigration chart was displayed to his right, and called the woman who prepared it to the podium. When Trump asked if she wanted to speak, the shy employee shook her head twice.
'THIS WOMAN SAVED MY LIFE'
The woman, whose name was not disclosed, said "Hello" into the microphone before returning to her place backstage. Trump said of the woman, "She is a computer genius. She saved my life."
The former president noted that the chart, which documents illegal immigration levels over the years, is used in "less than 20 percent" of his rallies and is "always on his left." Regarding the sniper's bullet in Butler, Trump said, "If the chart hadn't been placed on the right side but on the left, it would have been a perfect shot."
DISPLAYING THE CHART EARLY SAVED HIS LIFE
Furthermore, stating that he usually displays this chart at the end of his speeches, Trump revealed that the staffer said she was "surprised" that he requested this chart so early during the July 13 rally.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) told Fox News earlier this month that he was the one who gave the life-saving chart to Trump.
Speaking to Fox News host Bret Baier, Johnson said, "I've been developing this since 2014 and adding to it every month," and revealed that he first showed it to the former president during a plane ride. Johnson added, "I'm happy I could be of service there... God works in mysterious ways."
