Trump’s description of what he experienced during the assassination attempt against him included a detailed examination of why he raised his fist. “The crowd was confused because they thought I was dead,” he said. “I wanted to do something to let them know that I was OK.” He later honored slain Trump rally-goer Corey Comperatore.
