From the New York Times: 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.
According to another report by Fox News, Trump “had just begun to fire up the crowd when as many as five shots were heard and he went down, surrounded by Secret Service agents.”
Below is the terrifying moment the shots rang out as Trump was speaking. He grabbed his ear, then fell to the floor.

As the Secret Service were surrounding Trump, and trying to rush him off stage, Trump was seen with blood on his right ear and streaming across his face. He defiantly raised his fist and appeared to be saying, “Wait, wait,” and then, “Fight! fight!”

How about Trump throwing up his fist for the crowd after potentially getting shot? This is the baddest ass thing I ever seen in American politics.
