Former President Donald Trump was purposely grazed by a bullet at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania Sunday. That thought came as Trump narrated such terrifying scene, “A bullet entered the top of my right ear.” Secret Service can be seen whisking him from the stage after blood poured down his face.
JUST IN: Trump confirms that a chunk of his ear is gone, details more injuries he received during an interview with the New York Post.
Trump says he was hit so hard by Secret Service who rushed to protect him, that his shoes fell off.

Unfortunately, Trump was hurtful and the violence didn’t cease. At least one spectator was killed and two others critically injured in the shooting, according to reports. The suspect was gunned down at the spot by Secret Service. A quick response from police underscored the gravity and imminence of what menaced Santa Anita.
He told the New York Post: ‘That one is missing a big chunk of its ear after what it did to me. Everything that went down of the chaos and panic involved how hard Secret Service got him seized up in some melee his shoes were off. That narrative underlines just how much this brush with death would have cost Trump.
Joe Biden: The President on Thursday called the violence and destruction that erupted at the Capitol “insurrection” but still said lawlessness won’t be allowed “in America. It is a terrorist attack, and each episode of violence against one group by another. Violence in any and all of its forms is not room for that kind behavior here in our country.” “These are among the broader problem of safety and security, that all us have to condemn,” Biden added.
Since then, Trump has kept a low profile. But his campaign has since been intentionally keeping him out of the media spotlight, following a week one debate performance against fellow Dem frontrunner Joe Biden that was widely seen as poor. But Team Trump has also shown the outlines of a return outside, with rallies planned for March and perhaps even further out as well as setting up shop in states that have yet to weigh in on what should ultimately be his campaign-defining choice: whom he’ll name vice president.
