Did The Simpsons predict Donald Trump's assassination attempt? Theories flood internet after rally shooting

In a shocking turn of events, Former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday after a young shooter fired multiple shots at him during a Republican Party campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Meanwhile, A spokesperson for the Trump Campaign said the former president is “fine” after the “heinous act.”
    
The FBI identified the gunman as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park.

Trump also took on his Truth Social platform to react to the shooting incident that aimed to kill him.

“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured,” Trump wrote. “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!.
