Trump may have a minor injury to his ear, but the stand-down/all clear has been given. archive

Former President Donald J. Trump was rushed off a stage by Secret Service agents at a rally in Butler, Pa., after several pops that sounded like gunshots.

Mr. Trump went to the ground and was immediately surrounded by agents, who then escorted him to a motorcade. The former president pumped his fist at the crowd as he was hustled off the stage.

When the pops began at 6:13 p.m., Mr. Trump appeared to grab his right ear, which appeared to be bleeding as he left the stage.

    Trump’s pretty crazy but I don’t think he’s “plan to intentionally get grazed by a bullet” crazy.

        Ask yourself. What motive does someone have to want trump dead?

        Hint: a large number of someones have a large number of motives

        I don’t think it’s staged.

        He’s f’ed up so many lives and brought racism back that it’s a surprise it took so long

        He’s promised to be a dictator. But, he’s more than that

        He’s Hitler 2.0 and he has also promised that immigrants will suffer too

      If you are gonna fake something like this, you wouldn’t actually shoot a bullet, you’d use a blank and some tiny blood pack like they use in movies.

      I think Nancy was the one who had a relationship with the shooter…

      The whole thing just feels a little hinky to me, but I agree with you in doubting that trump planned it. That said, keep an ear out for lines from ronnie’s speeches
