Trump fist pumps to crowd as he is escorted off stage by safety
Former President Donald Trump fist pumped to a crowd of supporters as he was escorted of the stage after shots were fired at his rally.
Although it’s unclear if the former president was struck, Trump’s ear appeared to be covered in blood as he walked off the stage.
There also appeared to be some blood smeared across his face.
In a statement, Trump has told supporters that he is ‘fine.’ He is now being checked at a medical facility.
Secret security was quick to respond after shots were fired and immediately surrounded the president to insulate him and shield him from any potential gunfire.

Trump, evidently dazed, asked for his shoes before the security detail conducted him off the stage.
Before leaving the stage, Trump defiantly waved his fist before the crowd.
The crowd, energized by Trump’s pumping fist, broke out in a chant of ‘USA! USA!’
As Trump was escorted toward a waiting black vehicle, the security personnel held their hands above his head to ensure he was safe.
In the background, some of the crowd cheered on the president, while some wailed in horror.
After the apparent shots were fired to the left of the stage at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump and the whole crowd dropped to the ground.

At the time, the shots rang out Trump was displaying a chart of border crossing numbers.
Trump’s MAGA hat appeared to fall off as he dropped down behind the podium. A conscientious secret service agent made sure to pick the hat up and take it with him.
As Trump was ushered into the vehicle, he turned and looked toward the crowd and shook his fist in the air.
After Trump climbed into the vehicle, soldiers and security agents stood in front of the car with their guns drawn.
The rally in Butler, Pennsylvania is now officially a crime scene.
President Biden, leaving a Mass in Rehoboth Beach, told people ‘no,’ when asked if he’d been briefed on the incident.
