Trump survives assassination attempt

The former president was reportedly injured but is expected to survive, said two senior law enforcement officials.

The 78-year-old appeared to have sustained a bloody ear.

Gunfire reportedly erupted at former US President Donald Trump’s speech in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

The former president was speaking at his rally in the city of Butler when it was cut short by the sound of gunshots. Trump then put his hand to his ear, sat down behind the podium and was surrounded by bodyguards, a broadcast showed.

A couple of minutes later, the guards were leading the former president off the stage, with his right ear bloodied.

The former president was in the middle of discussing the issue of immigration in the US, and was displaying a chart of border crossing numbers when the incident occurred.
US Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said on Saturday that Trump is safe after an apparent shooting during a campaign rally in the state of 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 Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available,” Guglielmi said on social media.

  1. evening of July 13, that’s only a matter of hours ago today.

    Still Saturday in America currently around 9:30 pm. depending on where you are I guess.

  2. I saw the photo of President Trump with his fist in the air and saying “Fight” just after the bullet hit his ear. The photo reminded me of the photo of US Marines raising the US flag over Iwo Jima near the end of WW2.

  3. Apparently there is also someone else who has been critically injured. That makes it two with serious injury plus another who died at the scene and the brainwashed Antifa dude. MK Ultra. He was a 20 y.o. guy called Thomas Mathew Shot by the secret service snipers ready and waiting.

    Some people in the crowd had seen the shooter beforehand and reported it to the police and the secret service but nothing was done about it. It also seems the Secret service were ill prepared and did not know what to do initially, after all Trump was supposed to get his head blown off on live television for all the world to see, that is how sick they are.
    Trump said he heard the bullet and that is why he move or flinched his head and the bullet got his ear. Good reactions for a dude of 78. Or a good story, but you can’t be the jammy can you?

    One Democrat senator had to delete his account after saying “The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are” he got so many irate comments as people had indeed died.

  4. Also,the secret service will be investigated on this for sure as there are to many points which do not add up to correct procedure. The shooter shot 8 rounds it has been reported and the secret service weren’t there immediately to bring him to the ground. People were sighting the shooter right before the moment of the shooting. The Snipers who took him down let him reel of the 8 shots before shooting him. ???? It’s a bad day for the Democrats.

  5. Globalist cabal having a busy month.

    Successfully rigged and schemed their way through the French and British elections, now they try to cheat the Americans once again out of having the president they want. That pesky democracy nonsense just won’t die down.

    Two out of three, guys 😐🤷🏼‍♂️

  6. Apparently there’s a bird flu event 201 type meeting to take place in October- can we front foot this daily telegraph so people don’t fall for the flu scam this time? Thanks

  7. The Yanks may need the help of the Russians sooner than later by invitation and logistical supports.
    Russia has already offered men, arms and support to the State of Texas and other surrounding States in the event those States decide to leave the corrupt Union.
    So, right now it’s ‘wait & see’…and I think that the waiting will soon be over with.
