Trump appeared to be bleeding following what according to reports sounded like gunfire or detonation. According to the Secret Service, the former president is secure.

After hearing deafening sounds that resembled gunfire or explosions, former President Donald Trump was promptly removed from the stage minutes into his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, as indicated by numerous media reports and video footage.

While delivering a eulogy, Trump appeared to collapse to the ground. Multiple media agencies reported that Secret Service members promptly surrounded him, and he remained on the ground for approximately one minute.

He then rose to his feet and raised his fist in the air. Blood was present on the side of his head and in his ear.

According to a spokesperson for the Secret Service, Trump is currently unharmed. Additionally, a Trump representative informed CNN that the presumptive Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election is undergoing medical examinations at a medical facility.

A tweet from Anthony Guglielmi, the U.S. Secret Service head of communications, was sent out immediately after the event to confirm that the former president was safe, according to the Secret Service. “This is currently under active investigation by the Secret Service, and additional information will be available as soon as it becomes available.”

When cracking noises reverberated throughout the rally, Trump reached for the side of his head as he spoke. As Secret Service agents stormed the stage and encircled him, he crouches. Agents were present on all sides as he was led off the stage and promptly escorted into a waiting vehicle.

“As we await additional information, I am offering prayers for him and his family, as well as for all those who attended the rally,” stated a statement on Saturday evening. “Jill and I are appreciative of the Secret Service’s assistance in ensuring his safety. This form of violence is not permissible in the United States. In order to denounce it, we must unite as a single nation.”

In recent months, Trump has become more pro-crypto. That posture has garnered substantial financial backing from prominent members of the crypto community, such as the Winklevoss twins, the co-founders of the crypto exchange Gemini, who have donated substantial quantities in Bitcoin.

Trump repeated his dedication to the sector, emphasizing the necessity of the United States to serve as the industry’s leader. He has vowed to safeguard the self-custody rights of crypto users and to avert the establishment of a central bank digital currency.
