BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA – Shots rang out today at a Donald Trump rally today, and the former President was allegedly shot in the ear.
Secret Service Spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi released a statement regarding a security incident at the July 13 Trump rally in Pennsylvania.
“An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active investigation and further information will be released when available.”
Reportedly, the shooter and a spectator were dead in the incident. Secret Service agents pounced on Trump, who brushed at his head as the shots rang out, then went down on the platform.
Trump has this to say afterwards:
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas released the following statement regarding the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Pennsylvania earlier today.
“U.S. Secret Service Director Cheatle and I have briefed President Biden on today’s shooting in Pennsylvania. DHS and the Secret Service are working with law enforcement partners to respond to and investigate the shooting. We condemn this violence in the strongest possible terms and commend the Secret Service for their swift action today. We are engaged with President Biden, former President Trump, and their campaigns, and are taking every possible measure to ensure their safety and security. Maintaining the security of the Presidential candidates and their campaign events is one of our Department’s most vital priorities.”

Thoughts and Prayers just like he cares about anyone but himself. As he said about the Iowa school shooting “Get Over It.”
Been expecting this for some time. Drumpf and Roger Stone staged this to make Drumpf look like a martyr, which he already considers himself to be. He also needs something to talk about at the GOP convention, besides the same BS. He’s been around movie and TV sets enough to know what special effects can do, and how easy prop guns and blood squibs are to buy online. It’s a staged event, pure and simple.
What about the dead 20 year old guy?
Obviously, Roger Stone’s people didn’t tell him they’d kill him. A 20-year-old with no paper trail, no social media, nothing? A Russian patsy and human sacrifice, provided by their friend, Putin? Almost no pictures, mysterious easy access to a rooftop position, and he still missed? Probably because it was a prop gun, with prop bullets and prop blood. Did you notice how bright red, almost pink, the “blood” was? That’s because it’s fake blood, just like in movie and TV shows. Red photographs like black, so if you want the scene to look gory, the “blood” has to be a brighter color, which this clearly was. Drumpf’s a big fat sack of garbage, but he’s a good showman, and he’s been on movie sets where props were used. “Patriot warrior,” right.
