Considering he is in a crowd of angry gun obsessed extremists who have been cultivated to reject reality, I think there is a decent chance that this was one of his own. Maybe someone was pissed that he softened his stance on abortion. The so-called "pro-lifers" have murdered before.
God, I hope it is. Both for the irony and the reduction of harm it would do to our chances of resisting fascism this November.
Well, the shooter was a registered republican. So it is still seeming possible.
Teleprompter had Project 2025 on it... shooter made a call.
Several videos from multiple angles show the teleprompters being intact after Trump was on the ground.
If only there was a good guy with a gun, they could have prevented this. Where, oh where, in a Pennsylvania right wing convention can be found a good guy with a gun?

That was my assumption. Somebody wanted him out before the convention next week
TMZ has reported that he was struck by glass from the teleprompter and not directly shot/grazed: https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/13/donald-trump-appear-shot-pennsylvania-rally-president-election/

There was one. He missed.
Just two more inches
Show me the ear!!
YouTube. Ironically a Fox News video
I see the shooter is confirmed dead, feel so bad for the attendee/bystander who died.
Any news how/what caused it?
