At a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, former President Trump expressed his gratitude to the woman who designed the chart he referenced during an assassination attempt, crediting her with saving his life.
Trump narrowly escaped death at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 when a gunman fired shots from a rooftop. While speaking, he referred to a large chart displaying immigration data and, as he slightly turned his head, a bullet grazed his ear.
During his speech on Wednesday, Trump revisited the topic of immigration, focusing specifically on border issues and human trafficking, and mentioned the now-famous chart.
“You know, that chart saved my life. Where is that chart? I love that chart,” Trump stated. “I’m going to keep that chart for the rest of my life. That chart … the amazing thing is the people who handle the computers and all the incredible equipment we have backstage.”

He called the woman up, and she made her way to the stage.

“She’s never done this before. In a way, she saved my life,” Trump said. “I mentioned that she saved my life. Here she is. Incredible.”
He whispered something to her before she approached the microphone to say “Hi” and then exited the stage.
“She’s a computer genius,” Trump reiterated. “She saved my life.”
