Former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, as captured on video by an ardent supporter. Rick Foerster, the owner of Apparel by 45, was at the rally with his wife when she had to be taken to the hospital due to dehydration. While at the hospital, they learned that Trump had been shot and moments later, the former president arrived at the hospital’s ER.
Foerster described the chaotic scene as Trump’s motorcade arrived at the hospital just minutes after the shooting. He expressed relief and emotion upon seeing Trump walking on his own, defying expectations of a more dire outcome.
The supporter and his wife have been loyal followers of Trump since his candidacy announcement in 2015, attending every rally within a 100-mile radius. The Secret Service even recognized their dedication and asked them to be a “second set of eyes” at events, eventually gifting them seats at Trump’s inauguration.
The incident has shocked and captivated the nation, highlighting the dangers and risks faced by political figures in today’s volatile climate. The story serves as a reminder of the passion and devotion of Trump supporters, as well as the resilience of the former president himself.
