Gunfire? At a Trump Rally? You Bet Your MAGA Hat!
Chaos erupted at a Donald Trump political campaign event in Pennsylvania, causing the former president to be whisked offstage by his secret service detail faster than you can say “covfefe.”
The 78-year-old (yep, he’s still got it) was in the middle of one of his classic monologues in Butler, Pennsylvania, when the sound of gunfire decided to make a special guest appearance.
A video making the rounds on X (because Twitter rebranded, remember?) shows security rushing to protect The Donald like he was the last slice of pizza at a frat party. Attendees were urged to hit the deck, which is the closest they’ve been to exercising since the 2016 campaign trail.
In another clip on X, Trump appears to have some blood on his face, making him look like he just lost a fight with a particularly aggressive ketchup bottle. Despite the blood drama, he strutted offstage on his own two feet, even pumping his fist like he was auditioning for Rocky VII. The crowd, always ready to cheer for their hero, roared their approval.
The extent of Trump’s injury is still a mystery, but the blood seemed to be leaking from his right ear. Maybe he finally heard some criticism?
According to ABC, Trump was escorted from the venue and whisked away in a vehicle, hopefully one with a good first aid kit.
This wild saga is still unfolding, so stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime, we hope everyone at the event stays safe and that Trump’s hair remains as unruffled as ever.
