The shooter has since been killed by Secret Services. Trump said the identity of the person who shot him is still unknown. Narrating the traumatizing occurrence from his point of view, the president said that: 
<blockquote>
 “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
</blockquote> 
According to Elon Musk, Donald is the toughest presidential candidate America has had since Theodore Roosevelt. Elon has also called for the Secret Service and Trump’s security detail to be fired due to this horrific negligence.

Obviously, this just solidified Trump’s win even stronger than it was before. Both the president of El Salvador and the president of Argentina have announced their support for him as he goes through these terrible times. 
Former president and Biden advocate, Barack Obama, <a href="https://x.com/BarackObama/status/1812271849893442018" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">said</a> that he and his wife are also praying for Trump’s recovery, though he did make an odd comment that some have taken as a jab. Obama said: 
<blockquote>
 “Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt.”
</blockquote> 
There are rumors flying on Twitter that the attack was staged and that it is just a political ploy to give Trump a clear way straight into the White House. 
The Secret Service also issued an official statement on the matter saying that they quickly responded with protective measures and that Trump is safe now, adding: 
<blockquote>
 “One spectator was killed, two spectators were critically injured. The incident is currently under investigation and the Secret Service has formally notified the Federal Bureau of investigation.”
</blockquote> 
Some people genuinely believe that this was just a campaign trick set up by Trump and his team. US Congressman Mike Collins has openly <a href="https://x.com/MikeCollinsGA/status/1812257581655531669" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">said</a> Joe Biden is the one who tried the shooting.

Oh July 8th, Biden said, “So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
