Per The New York Post:
A grateful and at times defiant Donald Trump told The Post Sunday he’s “supposed to be dead” as he recalled the harrowing moment a would-be assassin shot at him at a Pennsylvania campaign rally.
The former president shared the “very surreal experience” that nearly ended his life during an interview aboard his private plane en route to Milwaukee for the GOP National Convention.

“I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump said. “I’m supposed to be dead.”

Here’s what Breitbart reported:
The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump reportedly tore a piece of his ear off, after a bullet shot across the side of his head.
“The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this — he called it a miracle,” Trump told the New York Post on Sunday. “I’m not supposed to be here. I’m supposed to be dead.”
The Post’s Michael Goodwin reported his conversation with Trump about the attack, and described the injury Trump sustained after a bullet grazed the side of his head— noting a piece of the former president’s ear had been torn off. He also noted Trump was bruised from Secret Service’s intervention.
He said he would be if he had not turned his head slightly to the right to read a chart on illegal immigrants. At that instant, what would have been a kill shot tore off a small piece of his ear and splattered blood on his forehead and cheek.
Trump said that as Secret Service agents led him off stage, he still wanted to continue speaking to supporters, but the agents told him it wasn’t safe and they had to get him to a hospital.
He marveled at how the agents came flying in like “linebackers” as soon as the shooting started, and he unbuttoned his long-sleeve white shirt to show a large bruise on his right forearm.
