The world watched in shock when Donald Trump was struck by a bullet that grazed his ear during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Shooting
The former president was on stage when gunfire erupted. A bullet narrowly missed, clipping the top of his right ear and causing heavy bleeding. Witnesses said the crowd screamed and ducked for cover as Secret Service agents swarmed the stage.
His Reaction
Despite the chaos, Trump didn’t panic. With blood running down his face, he stood tall, raised his fist, and waved to the crowd as he was quickly escorted away. His calm demeanor left supporters stunned — many saying they expected fear, but instead saw defiance.
The Aftermath
Doctors later confirmed the bullet left a 2 cm wound with swelling and bruising, but no lasting damage. He was treated at Butler Memorial Hospital and released soon after.
The incident has since gone viral, with millions reacting to how close this came to being an assassination — and how composed Trump remained under fire.
What do you think — was this true bravery, or just political image-keeping?
