CNN- Former President Donald Trump was rushed offstage with blood on his ear and face after a shooting during his Saturday evening rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Trump fell to the ground after the first pop of shots rang out. Secret Service agents rushed the stage to surround Trump as screams were heard from onlookers. After several moments, Trump was brought to his feet by the agents, and he appeared to be calling out to the crowd and could be seen pumping his fist as he was whisked away into a vehicle offstage.

The Secret Service said in a statement that Trump is “safe.”

Trump posted on Truth Social later Saturday evening, thanking the Secret Service and law enforcement for their response to the shooting.

“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!” Trump wrote.

The shooting is being investigated as a possible assassination attempt, according to law enforcement officials

Last week former FBI senior officials said in a TV interview that if Trump comes to power again then he had promised to take revenge against them, and some even said about planing to leave America should Trump wins. Never go against the FBI, CIA, and the military chiefs- they are all nasty people.

Eye witnesses told the BBC reporter attending the Trump rally that they saw a gunman climbing a building and crawling on the roof with a rifle and that they immediately pointed out this to the Police and the Secret Service. However no attempt was made by the Police or the Secret Service to catch the gunman until after he fired at Trump. This shows how incompetent the American Police and the Secreat Service is, only in the Hollywood movies these people act as smart heroes and definitely not in real life.

At the next presidential election in SL, Sajith and Anura are the main candidates. While Sajith has security as the leader of the opposition, what about Anura’s security. Is Ranil’s government doing enough to provide adequate security to Anura

Influenced by Uddika Premarathne for cheap publicity? Because Trump can go any lower level for his own benefit.
