Former President Trump was struck by a bullet that tore the top of his right ear today in Butler, Pennsylvania by an unidentified shooter who was reportedly shot and killed by Secret Service after firing five rounds at the former President.
After collapsing on stage, Trump was surrounded by Secret Service agents who rushed him away from the podium, only after the defiant former President raised his fist, appearing to yell ‘fight’ repeatedly.
In a statement released to his Truth Social account just moments ago, Trump confirmed that one rally attendee was killed by one of the shots fired. Another attendee was reportedly struck and is seriously wounded.
Trump’s statement from Truth Social reads,
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
Shortly after Trump was rushed off stage, President Joe Biden released a statement condemning political violence, and announcing that he will be contacting the former President as soon as possible.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene wasted no time in responding to the shooting, immediately blaming members of the Democrat Party for what occurred in Butler.
“Someone just tried to ASSASSINATE President Trump,” the statement begins. “The Democrats and the media are to blame for every drop of blood spilled today,” it continues.
Greene then adds, “For years and years, they’ve demonized him and his supporters. Today, someone finally tried to take out the leader of our America First and the greatest President of all time. Watch the video, President Trump said “FIGHT,” SO WE WILL!!”

If they are trying Trump for incitement of an insurrection then it is imperative that they try Bliedumb for incitement of the murder of Donald John Trump!
On July the 6th Biden said the Debate is over time to put Trump in the Bullseye.Like Biden statements about the Nord Stream 2 and firing the prosecutor it happened!
