A computer-generated 3D visualization circulating on social media has provided a startling new perspective on the recent assassination attempt against former United States President Donald Trump, Sky News Australia reported Wednesday.
The footage, created by social media account Point Consciousness, offers a bird's-eye view of the July 13 incident at Trump's Pennsylvania rally, revealing just how close the former president came to losing his life.
Incredible illustration. Also easy to forget that Trump narrowly escaped death multiple times in a few split seconds. It wasn't just one shot that came close to hitting him.

The graphic depicts the bullet passing perilously close to Trump's ear, apparently avoiding impact due to a last-second movement of his head. The visualization also illustrates the bullet's potential trajectory had Trump not made this crucial movement.
The image has since gone viral, with many viewers describing Trump's survival as miraculous or attributing it to divine intervention.
This revelation comes on the heels of Trump's first public appearance since the attempt on his life. At the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he was officially named the party's presidential nominee, Trump was greeted with enthusiastic support from the audience. "USA" and "We love Trump" chants filled the convention hall as the former president took the stage. Trump appeared visibly emotional, with a bandage covering his injured ear.
In addition to surviving the assassination attempt, Trump has experienced a series of favorable legal developments. A Florida judge dismissed the classified documents case against him, while a recent presidential immunity ruling may prevent him from being sentenced in the hush money case.
These developments are seen by some political analysts as potentially significant boosts to his re-election chances in November, yet according to a recent Reuters survey, they have not changed the balance of power in the race for the White House.
