'Close call': Leaked video shows Trump talking about 'amazing' shooting at private event

New leaked video appears to show former President Donald Trump addressing Saturday's assassination attempt, which he said changed his views and attitude on life, and calling the shooting a "close call."

The minute-long video, posted on YouTube by PBS NewsHour, appears to show the MAGA leader talking to donors at a private event, saying: “You appreciate God even more."

The clip appears to be the first public speech Trump has given that addresses the assassination attempt at a campaign rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Two people died in the shooting, including the shooter, and Trump was left with a bloodied ear.

"And then I got shot! I got shot. How does that happen?" Trump told a crowd, which erupted in cheers of "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Trump said he "got lucky" and said "God was with me."

"That's what they call a close call," he said. "That was an amazing, horrible thing. Amazing thing. And in many ways it changes your, your attitude, your viewpoint on life. And honestly it makes you appreciate God even more."

Something happened, he noted, seeming to imply divine intervention, "not that it was pleasant."

"It wasn't like it was a complete miss," he said to laughs. "But it was pretty terrible that that can happen."
