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
Yeah that’s the problem; this has probably clinched the election for him as he can play into martyrdom.

If he’s uninjured then I have to assume this was staged.
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.
I think Nancy was the one who had a relationship with the shooter...
The whole thing just feels a little hinky to me, but I agree with you in doubting that trump planned it. That said, keep an ear out for lines from ronnie's speeches
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.
