Donald Trump narrowly escaped being assassinated last month. That’s caused him to constantly be on his toes during the remainder of his campaign.
And Trump fled the stage after a crazy scene erupted during a campaign rally.
Last month, the United States was in a state of shock after former President Donald Trump was struck in the ear by a would-be assassin’s bullet.
If Trump had positioned his head differently, he would not have survived the assassination attempt.
But despite that near fatal incident, the former president recently held an outdoor rally in North Carolina.
This time, there was bulletproof glass around the podium where he spoke.
However, one insane scene occurred during the North Carolina rally that had him leaving the stage, shocking those in attendance.
Trump Leaves Bulletproof Protection to Attend to Supporter During North Carolina Rally
Former President Donald Trump momentarily left his podium, which was shielded by bulletproof glass, to attend to a supporter who had passed out during a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday. This rally marked his first major outdoor event since the attempted assassination on him last month.
Here’s the moment where President Trump hugged a fan who passed out from the heat at his rally today in Asheboro, NC.

Trump’s decision to step out from behind the protective glass drew praise from Republicans, who commended his bravery in the face of heightened security threats. The security measures were visibly increased following the Pennsylvania incident, where Trump’s life was nearly taken.
In the video footage from the rally, panes of bulletproof glass can be seen forming a barrier across the stage, a precaution put in place to protect the former president.
This is incredible.

Trump’s took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden, specifically targeting their handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. He called out the administration for what he described as a catastrophic exit strategy that resulted in the deaths of 13 American service members. Harris, according to reports, was the last person President Biden consulted before making the fateful decision to begin the evacuation.
“The world is on fire, and Kamala and Biden have marched us to the brink of World War III,” Trump declared to the crowd. “Peace in Europe has been shattered by the largest European land war since the fall of Nazi Germany. It would not have happened if I was president.”
Trump further criticized the Biden-Harris administration for their response to the escalating crisis in the Middle East. “In the Middle East, the Jewish people have suffered the worst atrocities and deadliest attacks since the Holocaust,” Trump said. “The United States has been forced to abandon more embassies under Comrade Kamala than any time in our history.”
He then shifted his speech toward the future, promising that, if elected again, his presidency would usher in a new era of strength and global peace. “Starting the moment I lift my hand from the Bible after taking the oath of office, I will move to restore America to maximum strength and return the world to peace,” he pledged to his supporters.
Trump concluded his speech with a sharp jab at the vice president: “Comrade Harris, you’re fired.”
The rally highlighted Trump’s continued influence over his base, with many rallygoers reaffirming their loyalty to the former president despite the media and the Left’s attacks on him.
