He described the Secret Service agents that rushed at him like "linebackers," mentioning another one eliminated the gunman with "one shot right between the eyes."
"They did a fantastic job," he told the Post. "It’s surreal for all of us."
As Secret Service agents rushed Trump off the stage, he was heard saying he wanted to get his shoes.
"The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight," he explained to the Post.
Trump, reacting to images of him raising his fist and being surrounded by Secret Service agents in the seconds following the shooting, said, "A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen."
