A defiant Trump rose after moments with what looked like blood from his ear, saying “let me get my shoes,” holding up a defiant fist and shooting “fight, fight, fight,” as he was helped back to the motorcade.
“This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available,” the Secret Service wrote on X.
Reaction poured in quickly and Elon Musk said he will now “fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.”
Trump’s rally had begun with typical excitement and energy.
“With your help, we’re going to win Pennsylvania this November,” Trump told his crowd in a speech that aired live and in its entirety on Newsmax and the free Newsmax2 streaming platform.
“We’re going to defeat Crooked Joe Biden and Laughing Kamala Harris, and we’re going to take back the White House, and we’re going to take back our country. We’re going to take it back.”Our country has been stolen from us. You see that? One of the greatest crimes is what they’ve done over four years.”
