Former President Donald Trump flashed the scar he received from a would-be assassin’s bullet to comedian Joe Rogan during his highly anticipated interview that was released Friday night.
Trump, 78, said being shot made him a “tougher guy” as he showed off the bullet wound during his nearly three-hour appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
