Photo note: We are not yet aware of the name of the photographer who snapped this now-historic photo which is featured in this story, but we will be happy to credit this person and link to his work, as appropriate.

Highlights:

– Trump was struck in the right ear by rifle fire that we now know came from an AR-15 rifle deployed by a shooter who is now believed to be a left-wing radical.

– Trump survived the assassination attempt and has now been released from the hospital, he is reportedly in good condition.

– Questions have arisen about gross lapses in security by the US Secret Service and local law enforcement.

– An increasing number of people are speculating that this assassination opportunity was set up by the deep state, recruiting a radical shooter to do the job, but the shooter (barely) missed.

– DEI “woke” recruiting of US Secret Service agents reveals many agents, the females in particular, to have a shocking lack of basic firearms handling skills. In one video, a female Secret Service agent struggled for nearly 10 seconds to try to holster her own weapon as Trump was being rushed into a vehicle. See video on Twitter.

– CNN and other left-wing media refuse to report the event as an assassination attempt. CNN: “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.”

– Five days ago, during a fundraising call, Joe Biden said, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.” Many people are interpreting this as a command to the deep state to unleash assassination ops against Trump.

The same bureau that investigated the Las Vegas shooting and the January 6th pipe bombs is now investigating the attempted assassination of Trump. This is also the same bureau that raided Mar-a-Lago. I’m sure they’ll get to the bottom of this soon.

They left the roof wide open

Secret Service snipers had eyes on the shooter

People were screaming about a man on the roof with a gun

But Secret Service waited

They waited for him to take the shots

Then they killed the shooter

It was a setup

And he wasn’t supposed to miss

My own tweets on this story as it developed:

Multiple shots fired at Trump rally. TRUMP IS OKAY, but Jonathan Turley reports there is blood on Trump’s ear. Not clear who did the shooting or who was shot or why there’s blood… will keep you posted.

…

It appears that Trump’s ear has been shot off, at least partially, not clear yet. It appears that #Trump has just survived a straight up assassination attempt. More details as they emerge… GOD PROTECT TRUMP and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

…

ANALYSIS: It was RIFLE FIRE that tried to kill #Trump! Someone from a distance unloaded rifle rounds and apparently hit Trump in the ear, from what we know so far. The sound signature here is of multiple supersonic rifle rounds. This was not up close with a pistol.

…

For at least six years, the complicit corporate media has broadcast nothing but HATE toward Trump, desperately hoping to trigger an assassination. This attempt today is all because of the anti-American, Trump-hating corporate media that takes its marching orders from the same CIA deep state that carried out the assassination of JFK.

…

Holy shit. If Trump had not been looking hard to his right, that bullet would have pierced his skull. A radical Leftist or deep state assassination attempt in broad daylight. The direction of the bullet here indicates the shooter would have been stationed to the far left of this speaking stage, looking at it from straight on. This means there may be casualties of other people who took fire to the right of the stage. It multiple casualties emerge, that’s what happened…

…

Folks, this was 100% rifle fire from a distance. I am analyzing the sound file now and will get you a distance calculation as soon as possible.

…

We have the audio of the rifle fire. Audio analysis under war to determine the distance of the shooter. Rifle rounds arrive BEFORE the report is heard. Here’s a sound signature of one of the shots. The first blip is the rifle round impacting target. The second blip (taller one) is the report of the rifle. Calculations coming shortly…

…

.22 seconds between impact and rifle report

…

SHOOTER DISTANCE CALCULATION BASED ON SOUND:

The speed of sound, give or take based on ambient conditions, is 1,125 fps (feet per second). The speed of a 5.56 rifle round, give or take, is around 2,500 fps from a typical 16″ rifle barrel, although it slows immediately after leaving the barrel and gets slower the farther it travels. We could hear from the reports that this was a semi-automatic rifle, not a bolt-action, so the barrel length was likely 16″ or 18″ at most. If we are recording the event very close to the point of impact, then we will hear the impact of the bullet first, followed by the report of the rifle shot. The time between these two audio events gives us a fairly accurate answer of the distance of the shooter. In the case of the assassination attempt on #Trump, audio analysis reveals 0.22 seconds between the impact and the rifle report (I just checked this myself). Doing the math (algebra), this comes out to about 450 feet of distance for the shooter, at which distance: 1) The bullets would take 0.18 seconds to arrive, and 2) The sound would take 0.4 seconds to arrive. The difference is 0.22 seconds, which is what we find in the audio file. CONCLUSION: Shooter was roughly 450 feet away, give or take, which is about 1.5 football fields away. Hence the difficulty of the shot. THANK GOD TRUMP survived the assassination attempt!

…

As an experienced long range steel plate target shooter, I can say that the shots taken by the murderous shooter today, at merely 400 – 450 FEET range (not yards, but feet), is widely considered a nearly “point blank” range for accomplished rifle shooters. I routinely “warm up” one of my rifles at triple that range – 450 yards – and easily strike steel within a 4″ circle. This is not even considered expert level by more experienced shooters. My point is that it is only BY THE GRACE OF GOD that this bullet missed Trump’s skull and only pierced his ear. We all need to pray to God right now for this miracle, where #Trump literally dodged a bullet and is still here fighting for America! GOD BLESS AMERICA.
