Trump was visibly bleeding when he left the stage. Did he get injured when he fell to the ground I wonder?

Just got your ear pierced

So this is why twitter is down. I thought it was their **** servers again but this event just broke it.

An event like this will galvanize trump's chances of winning. You should of had a better shot Joe. He probably aimed at the wrong guy. Wouldn't want to shoot his vice-president now would he!

You can see him grab his ear from a gunshot & there's blood on his ear.

Someone shouts that the shooter is down

Yes, looks like he was hit by a bullet in fact. He's incredibly lucky to be still alive.

He felt his ear before he went down, on the side that was bleeding.

Pictures like this could win him the election.

I wouldn't go that far - he is still hated by a large swathe of the population….I doubt it would make any of them any more likely to vote for him.

Whatever your opinion on him, Biden, etc **** scum to try and do that

Getting shot at is a good indicator of a person’s makeup as it’s impossible to know how you will react until it happens. (Yes, I’ve been shot at). Make of him what you will, but he was on the ground before the Secret Service could tackle him, and having the presence of mind to put the fist in the air / gesture of defiance on the way out is going to do him well.

I’m curious as to where all the bullets went. If you listen to the audio, it seems there were quite a few shots, even assuming some of those were police going back the other way. Waiting for reports of other injuries.

Some are saying it sounded like an air gun?

Sounded like a BB gun, but when your accustomed to hollywood gunshots and explosions, I'd say we should revert to Manic Moran's experience above!

Ah WTF, what is wrong with you man. We all hate different politicians but smiling cause someone was shot? That's just sick.

Manic Moran

going to be an interesting night in USSS headquarters wondering where they went wrong.

numbnutz

MAGA cult are about to go wild.I wonder will we see civil unrest as a result.

This should swing the election result in his favour if he doesn't get shot at again.

We need to test out Joe's reactions at his next speech.

dulpit

Anyone surprised at the reaction of the secret service? Feels like if there was any deliberate attempt or follow up they wouldn't have been able to stop it...

Very lucky man Trump. Lots of questions now as to how security was breached. Speedy recovery to the guy.

numbnutz

smiling from ear to bloody ear

Hyperbollix

Absolutely certain he now beats Biden in November. We're watching the end of the American Empire. What a time to be alive.

This will rile up the base and may sway more of them to come out and vote, and also those undecided voters may just swing his way now, especially with the debacle of Biden at the moment.
