Nearly two months after Donald Trump was shot in the ear at a campaign rally, the Republican presidential nominee opened up about his recovery.
“It’s had no impact,” he told the Daily Mail of his mental health in an interview published Sept. 3. “It’s just amazing.”
The 78-year-old, who sat down for an interview with the British tabloid at his Mar-A-Lago home in Florida, noted he has felt “no need” for counseling following the assassination attempt.
“I have not had any, I must tell you,” he said of therapy. “I don’t think about it a lot. It healed up.”
At a July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire and killed one spectator, Corey Comperatore, as well as injuring three others, including Trump. Crooks was later shot and killed by the secret service.
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said at the time. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.”
