Trump may have a minor injury to his ear, but the stand-down/all clear has been given. archive

Former President Donald J. Trump was rushed off a stage by Secret Service agents at a rally in Butler, Pa., after several pops that sounded like gunshots.

Mr. Trump went to the ground and was immediately surrounded by agents, who then escorted him to a motorcade. The former president pumped his fist at the crowd as he was hustled off the stage.

When the pops began at 6:13 p.m., Mr. Trump appeared to grab his right ear, which appeared to be bleeding as he left the stage.

I definitely don't want him to be a martyr or be able to play like a martyr. But I won't shed one tear when the moment happens.

Every one in the political sphere, including Biden, and the international sphere is giving him such support... I wonder if he'd do the same if it were Biden instead.

He'd probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode
