Donald Trump, in an interview that aired Monday (Jul 22), recalled the moment he was shot at during his campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Talking to Fox News host Jesse Watters, Trump said there was a lot of blood which alarmed the Secret Service agents, who thought that he had been hit in the abdomen. He further demanded that an investigation be conducted to see if the White House was in the wrong this whole time regarding Biden and his health.&nbsp;

As the shots rang, the agents piled up on top of him and wanted to take Trump away on a stretcher. Trump said he refused to abide by it.&nbsp;

“They wanted to put me on a stretcher,” Trump said, stating that he even had a little argument with them. “They had a stretcher, and they wanted to put me on a stretcher. And I said, ‘I’m not going on a stretcher.’”

He, however, said that he understood their concerns since the blood was everywhere. “I just felt it was the ear,” Trump said, stressing that the amount of blood raised concerns.&nbsp;

“I said, ‘I’m telling you, I’m OK. I’m fine. I’m going to get up. I want to get up. I’m not going to be taken out on a stretcher,’” he said.

During the interview, Trump also revealed what Biden said to him during their phone call following the assassination attempt.&nbsp;

“He said, ‘You’re lucky you turned to the right,’” the 78-year-old Republican told Watters.&nbsp;

Notably, Trump turned his head to look at a chart behind him, and right at this moment, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks opened fire. That head turn saved Trump's life.&nbsp;

<h2>Trump demands probe into White House</h2>

Joe Biden might have now dropped out of the presidential race, but Trump is demanding an investigation into the White House to know whether it tried to cover up Biden's physical and mental decline. “I think somebody has to look at it,” Trump said. “Look, you had people that lied to the American public."

Pointing fingers at Biden's doctors, Trump asked how did they keep giving him a good report.&nbsp;

"And I tell you what, you ought to take a look at his doctors because his doctors keep giving him this wonderful report," he said.&nbsp;

He recalled the time he saw him struggling to climb the stairs of his airplane. “I’m not a doctor, but I saw [Biden] the other day. He was unable to get up the children stairs going into Air Force One.”

In an apparent reference to White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Trump said,&nbsp;"I know all about his doctor, by the way – his doctor says he’s in good health. He’s not in good health. I don’t think he’s in good health."

<h2>Trump speaks with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle&nbsp;</h2>

On the shooting, Trump said somebody should have made sure there was nobody on that roof. He said that he didn't understand why wasn't his speech delayed if the shooter had already been identified as “suspicious”.&nbsp;

He said that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle reached out to him. "She was very nice, I thought. But, you know, somebody should have made sure there was nobody on that roof,” Trump said.&nbsp;

“That roof was a dead aim right onto the stage."

He was told that they didn't have the manpower to check the roof, which is said to be "crazy". "It sounds like a lot, but it's really, from that standpoint, it's a very, you know, it's very close," he said.

After Trump was shot, he argued with Secret Service agents about being put on stretcher

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that some men may feel "insulted" by his Democratic rival Joe Biden's committment to choose a woman as his vice presidential candidate.

"He roped himself into a certain group of people.&nbsp;Some people would say men are insulted by that and some people would say it is fine," Trump said.

Declaring that he wants a government as diverse as the country itself, Biden committed early in his campaign, in March, that he would name a woman on the ticket. He is expected to announce his choice this week.

Only two other women have been nominated vice presidential candidates, Sarah Palin by the Republican party in 2008 and Geraldine Ferraro by the Democrats in 1984, and neither made it into the White House. No woman has won the presidency either.

Trump, who is seeking re-election in the November&nbsp;3 US&nbsp;election, also said his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping has frayed in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic and that he has not spoken to his Chinese counterpart in a long time.

"I used to have a very good relationship with him," Trump said in an interview, citing their Phase One trade deal last year. "I had a great relationship with President Xi. I like him, but I don't feel the same way now."

Trump made challenging China a key part of his 2016 presidential campaign and touted his friendly ties with Xi during much of his first term in office as he sought to make good on his trade deal promises.

But he said on Tuesday that the fallout from the outbreak was worse than the conflict over trade. "This is a thousand times the trade deal what happened with all of the death and ... the world had to shutdown. It's a disgrace," he told Fox.

First reports of the virus emerged from China in late 2019 and it has now infected more than 20 million people and killed at least 735,369 worldwide, including at least 5.1 million cases and at least 163,160 deaths in the United States.
