Trump reveals crucial, split moments that save lives in Butler’s assassination attempt
After a moment, Trump avoided and Secret Service agents rushed to him. More gunfire followedAs Trump stayed, the attendees screamed in fear, waiting for the fully clear sign.
Once the green light is obtained, Secret Service personnel will rise with Trump to escort him from the stage. But Trump has not hidden himself from his supporters. Instead, he got up from huddle, raised his fist in AI, said “fight” three times, prompting the audience to burst out and shout “America!” when he quit.
Eventually, Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old gunman, fired eight bullets at Trump at the roof during the rally and swept the bullets through Trump’s ears. The gunman also killed 50-year-old firefighters, father and husband attend the rally, and killed two other people.
A Secret Service sniper killed the liar during the shooting, and the FBI investigation is still ongoing. The motive for why the scammers are attacking has not been determined yet.
The scammer’s classmates described the scammer as a “lonely person” who was bullied, and the FBI told reporters in August 2024 that the scammer may have an undiagnosed disease.

“People were screaming and I fell down very quickly because I think they shot eight bullets.”
Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, later served as Trump’s campaign co-chairman, said she initially believed Trump had been killed.
“You think the worst situation is,” Wells said in an interview. “You can’t – it’s human – you can’t think in other ways. When he stood up, I thought, ‘Oh, my goodness.'”
Wells said Trump had just moved his head slightly during the ambush due to the immigration map, which was a key adjustment to Trump’s posture as the liar began firing at him.

“So let him ask for that chart, eight minutes, and then stand on the opposite side, make him look in a different direction, raise his head slightly because it’s higher, and that doesn’t happen because it’s happening.”
“But it’s a horrifying time, it’s changed everything for us. Security is the frontline and center, it’s not before.”
The attack led to an overhaul of the Secret Service over the past year to prevent an attack like a Pennsylvania attack. The Department of Homeland Security released a report in October 2024 that determined that another episode in Pennsylvania would be possible if the Secret Service did not make any reforms.
“The Secret Service is not executed at the elite level required to perform its critical missions,” the report said. “Even if the risk has been multiplied by technology, the Secret Service has become bureaucratic, complacent and static.”
Since then, The Secret Service has ushered in several key reforms Six agents were suspended to improve their security measures and to respond.

“When I looked at me, they didn’t know I was watching.
