Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after popping noises heard at his Pennsylvania

Former President Donald Trump was rushed off the stage just minutes into his rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday, after loud noises that sounded like gunshots were heard. Trump is expected to survive, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter. He had blood on the side of his head and his ear.


Trump was speaking when he reached for the side of his face as popping sounds rang out over the rally. He then crouched down as Secret Service agents rushed the stage and surrounded him. He was quickly escorted into a vehicle, walking off the stage with agents on all sides.


Screams from the audience rang out as the scene unfolded.

President Joe Biden, who is in Delaware for the weekend, has been briefed on the situation, according to a senior White House official.


The Biden campaign is aware of the situation and monitoring it, a senior spokesperson tells NBC News.


Politicians began posting to social media that they were praying for Trump in the minutes after the incident unfolded.

The Republican National Convention, where Trump is set to officially become the GOP presidential nominee, is set to begin on Monday.


This is a breaking new story and will continue to be updated.

Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after popping noises heard at rally ahead of the RNC

Thoughts and prayers.

Bit of blood on the ear. Shame the PoS didn't have his lying head blown off.

As Trump was escorted off he raised a fist, mouthed FUCK a few times, then the crowd were chanting USA, USA, USA, USA. Strange response.

I think you're right, Pickel. I've just watched it again and it does look like he's mouthing 'fight'.

Surely it must have only been an airgun. Several shots were fired but no serious damage was done to anyone. The shots came from behind, and from the back and right of Trump. Trump's face was at almost 90 degrees to whoever was firing it. If they had been real bullets, Trump would be dead.

Evidently, the shooter was taken out straight away by the highly trained secret service.
A thorough investigation forthcoming.


Strange days ahead, rest assured.

Hoping it’s a trashy, white dude, and not an “illegal alien“.

If it’s the latter, you might as well hand him the keys to the White House.

It was a real gun and he's lucky the bullet only nicked his ear. One rally goer and the shooter are reportedly dead.

The last thing USA needs right now is a martyr!

Melania finally put out a contract?

Melania? That's more likely than a contract from the Russian dwarf who acts as if he has a small dick. I'm curious as to what sort of irresponsible spin Trump will put on this.

And folkds on twitter think it was staged

There's a few people on this forum that should probably shut their fvcking mouths and be investigated.

Indeed. The presidency is now Trumps to lose as the once great USA eats itself.

Stupid people, on both sides of the fight, as summed up by this rather undemocratic comment from a poster that claims to be a democrat but should really know know better than to support an assasination attempt on someone whose views he disagrees with.

America in a nutshell, and unfortunately heading for the rest of the world in an increasingly polarised and intolerant world where everyone thinks they are entitled to have whatever they want by whatever means necessary. Had he been seriously injured or killed there would be a civil war erupting this morning.

Staged with two dead including the shooter and one seriously injured, and Trumps ear shot? some people will believe the most impossible things.

I suppose the conspiracy stories will be emerging soon. I reckon Stormy Danials was the shooter and Mossad knew in advance. :)

You do favour the Armageddon option in your increasingly addled musings, don’t you Tax.

If the Orange Rapist Pig had got his head blown off, I’m as disappointed he didn’t this morning as I was exhilarated by the Tory slime’s election disaster, there would have been no response other than a ragbag collection of rednecks and neo nazis chuntering drivel until they felt the wrong end of a police baton.

That’s the thing with the lower end, they’re stupid, usually incoherent, incapable of independent action beyond the insane and only act in a mob when roused by some demagogue or other. And then when they’ve shot their wad they go back to their pointless, futile, irrelevant little lives and drink beer watching redneck crap on the computer screen whilst jerking off and fondling their Glock.

So fucking near too. I now know how von Stauffenberg must have felt.

Still, it does mean no more open air rallies from the cvunt.

There's more than a few posters on here that think "saving democracy" means assassinating or politically persecuting your opponent. Big thinkers.

Now there's some intelligent thinking. Good job.

You really have no idea.

An overpopulated world, not enough resources, not enough money, divisive groups demanding and fighting for supremacy all over the world, social media and fake news subverting reality and promoting culture wars, which make nonsense of language and aims to subvert the most fundamental facts of human existence. They serve only to empower the insane, the woke and the malevolent.

Armageddon is already here you silly old duffer and It has incurably infected the west.

Eventual violence is a given. I pity the young today, and am grateful for living my most productive and energetic years in wonderfully free times.

Living in Thailand now is a reminder of those times and you need to stop whingeing about it you grumpy old tart.

Is it because you don’t celebrate Christmas, Tax?

I think you might benefit from a retreat somewhere nice, say, like Iona.

Perk you up no end.

I have always celebrated Xmas. Judaism may be my ethnicity, but it is not my religion.

It would have saved a lot of embarrassment come November.

Given the passage of time since the two great diaspora, 600BC and 60 AD, and the integration of Jews in the wider world since then particularly throughout Europe any claim now to a Jewish ethnicity is essentially cultural rather than through any genetic factor.

Before the modish wokism we have now, ethnicity used to refer to one’s biological race but now it embraces anyone who cleaves to a particular cultural trait.

Do you appreciate the irony there, Tax.

Are you a fucking Aryan nazi taking the piss, or what?

Do you think the Orange Pig’s views on gun control will change now?

And listening to the baying of his supporters after his recovery, chanting “USA” like some cultish victory celebration with the Pig clenching his fist shouting “ Fuck, Fuck, Fuck”, do you think America is now in the grasp of a Republican metamorphosis changing into a Nazi Redux party.

Americans now make Russians seem almost intellectual.

Pictures of the dead shooter on the roof appear to show a white kid in shorts. I guess that means it will be put down to mental health issues.

I'm surprised that building wasn't secured before Trump entered the stage, it's not as if assassination attempts are unheard of in the USA.
