Trump narrowly escapes shooting at Pennsylvania campaign rally

Ex-President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, narrated information about a rather disturbing experience that he was subjected to at a rally in Pennsylvania while campaigning.

Trump said that the occurrence was a shooting incident that involved a young man of 20 years, identified as Thomas Crooks, during the rally. With his back to the stage, Trump was in mid-speech when he almost became a statistic, having turned his head to look at a large screen chart behind him.

Earlier, the former told about the conversation that took place with the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, after the accident: ‘He told me, ‘ Good, you went to the right.’

Honestly, Trump is a sore loser and wouldn’t be carried off the stage on a stretcher, much to the concern of the US Secret Service agents that attended to him. The two had a stretcher and wished to make him lie on the stretcher, but he refused by saying, ‘I ain’t getting on that stretcher’.

The former president agreed that much blood was lost during the attack, but he was convinced that he sustained only an ear wound. ‘I just felt it was the ear. There was a lot of blood,’ he said; they did not explicitly state how Mullet killed his victim.

After this, Trump met with the dismissed Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, whom he said was very nice to him. However, he also quizzed the measures put in place, saying that “somebody should have ensured that there was no one on that roof.

The occurrence has left people questioning the security measures in place whenever politicians are holding a rally. The Biden administration has not been spared criticism over perceived laxity in protecting the former president.
