We are now seeing some of the first photos to be released of an injured and bloody Donald Trump following a serious and violent incident at tonight’s rally.
Former President Donald J. Trump was just whisked off the stage with blood on his face by multiple Secret Service agents at his Butler, Pennsylvania campaign rally after several loud pops rang out through the crowd in what appears to be a possible assassination attempt.
In video footage of the incident that is quickly spreading across social media, former President Trump is seen suddenly crouching down as the loud noises ring throughout the rally. Multiple United States Secret Service agents immediately grab and surround the former president.
Trump was mid-sentence, showing off a chart of border crossing numbers when multiple, sudden, loud bangs began to ring out. The loud pops sounded like gunshots and Donald Trump immediately grasped at his neck and the side of his face with his right hand.
There appeared to be a significant amount of blood streaked across the right side of his face.
