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.

He looks like a saint now thanks to the shooter

Didn’t see this when I made my comment but yeah. Reeks of the reagan playbook
Trump’s pretty crazy but I don’t think he’s “plan to intentionally get grazed by a bullet” crazy.
If you are gonna fake something like this, you wouldn’t actually shoot a bullet, you’d use a blank and some tiny blood pack like they use in movies.
