Trump just raised his hand appears to be OK. Blood coming from his ear so he may have gotten grazed.

Saw it live on Newsnation. Trump looked like he may have been hit as he grabbed his head like he felt something.

Holy shit. Maybe the left should tone down their violent rhetoric!

I find it interesting that virtually nobody opted to run for cover. They all just sat there and/or got out their phones to record what was going on. One jackass down front immediately turned around and started showboating for the camera

Yeah, bizarre no reaction from the crowd. Someone said people in the crowd may have quickly tackled the shooter. But certainly the other people not running for cover didn't know that.

Election over, he’s winning going away from whoever he’s against.
Glad he wasn’t hurt/killed. Horrible that an attendee died.

posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieAnother senseless death. Doubly-so when you consider the gallery behind campaigners is completely staged for optics. And I don't think it's hindsight to say if a threat is real - and there always are threats to the POTUS - it probably warrants NOT putting people in the line of fire right behind them.Glad he wasn’t hurt/killed. Horrible that an attendee died.

I thought they made it fucking impossible to get a gun anywhere near these things. Or were suppose to.

Going to be some questions for the secret service, to be sure.
And to think, some Democrats tried to advance legislation stripping Trump of secret service protection after he was convicted.
If Trump loses a close election again, we could see some truly violent riots. Because YOU KNOW right wing militants are already fuming over what they are convinced was a plot by the "deep state".

I'm going to give it even money this guy was an anti-govt nutjob hoping to start a civil war.
Also that image is "clearly" fake - look at the wound and the bullet obviously had to come from the other direction....Buckle up folks.

Will definitely be turned around somehow
Trump supporters don’t want gun control laws and this never would’ve happened blah blah blah
Trump should use this to say violence is for cowards but instead he’ll do the opposite and they’ll turn it on him obno

Or Dana White labeling him “the toughest, most resilient, American bad ass on this planet.” Because someone shot at him and missed I guess.

Don’t think that’s accurate. Can’t tell if this was sarcasm.
This was a giant fuck up by the secret service.

Election over.
Trump should win in a landslide now. This plays directly into everything he has been saying for years. Next week will be a coronation for him as he plays this up as he should.
Also, this is absolutely crazy and is closest this country has been to the chaos of 1968 and 1969.

I'm glad that Biden has spoken to this.
I really, really hope that the Dems/medias put a stop to their fear mongering. As we see, it only takes one nutjob to believe what they say.
Besides the shooter, one person dead and another injured. I can't imagine their families seeing or learning about this. Obviously Trump is going to be just fine, but many others will not be. My heart goes out to them. Just terrible!
