Trump rushed off stage after gun shots targeting him - eviltoast

Secret Service agents rushed former President Donald Trump off the stage after he fell to the ground at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Loud bangs were heard before Trump fell. Agents then helped him stand, and he had blood on his face. He was yelling back to the crowd and raised his fist. He was then taken to a vehicle and evacuated from the scene.

      Republicans may get pity elected then. No martyrs, thanks. I really actually hope no one got hurt

        I was skeptical but in the photos there’s no injury to the side of his head. Just seems incredibly unlikely that a bullet would clip his ear and hit nothing else whatsoever. So yeah, an injury falling does seem kinda likely.

        That was my first thought, hit up that ‘other’ site and saw a video on /r/interstingasfuck and it looks like he grabbed his ear immediately after first two(?) shots so I think he was actually grazed.

      At least? If this turns out to be real, the photo alone will hand him the election.
