Trump recounted the incident, explaining that the gunman, after being pursued by Secret Service, was spotted by an ordinary woman who decided to act on her instincts. “A woman driving in a car saw a man running on a busy street,” Trump said. “She followed him because he looked like trouble. She parked behind his car and started taking pictures of his license plate.”
Quick Thinking Paid Off
Her quick thinking paid off. She sent the pictures to the sheriff’s office, which allowed law enforcement to locate and apprehend the man after a high-speed chase. Trump emphasized the rarity of her actions, stating, “If this happened a thousand times, would even one person have done what she did? This woman was unbelievable.”
The former president added that the suspect had been heavily armed and appeared prepared for a sophisticated attack, having removed the serial number from the weapon. “He had an AK-47. He had the camera, he had everything. But thanks to her, we were able to stop him before anything worse happened.”
‘God Has Big Plans’
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, host of the live town hall yesterday in Michigan, chimed in, offering an interpretation of the event from a God’s eye view. “I think one of the other things we all know in this room certainly, is that God is not finished with you, and He has big plans.”
Trump’s account of the assassination attempt and the woman’s heroism struck a powerful chord with the audience, as he shared, “The women of this country love Donald Trump. And we’re going to win because of that.”
This gripping account highlights not only the dangers Trump continues to face but also the courage of ordinary citizens who step up in extraordinary moments. As Governor Huckabee Sanders indicated, God has a plan and many are praying for His will to do be done in America this November.
