Summary

During a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump criticized the bulletproof glass surrounding him, joking that an assassin would need to “shoot through the fake news” to reach him, a remark aimed at the press positioned behind the glass.

He called the media “bloodsuckers” and mocked the glass’s size, referencing prior assassination attempts, including a July incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed him and an audience member was killed.

Trump added that his supporters serve as his “glass” for protection: “Glass here. There’s nothing over there. They’re my glass. See? Those people are my glass,” Trump said, pointing to the crowd.

    I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m talking about the video of the actual live event which clearly shows a holster on the belt of the agent and Trump crouching down next to it. That is all. It’s clear, in the actual video, that Trump does not have blood on his hand when he checks it before he crouches down.

      I’m talking about the video you linked? And I’m talking about the NYT photographer that captured an image of Trump’s bloody palm after grabbing his ear seconds before the person with the holster gets there? Which is also shown in the video? That you linked? Look at you, denying reality to cling to your theory, even when it’s literally in the link you yourself provided.
