Former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped death after a shooter opened fire at his election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. Donald Trump sustained a minor injury in his right ear and was seen clutching his bloodied ear after US Secret Service officers surrounded him and escorted him off the stage.
Amidst the speculation, a video of the final seconds before the attempted assassination appeared on social media. It showed a woman sitting directly behind the former president of the United States, behaving strangely.
The woman can be seen on the footage standing behind Donald Trump, acting “strangely,” and then sitting down just before the guns are fired. She is dressed in a white dress and is wearing black sunglasses.
Netizens started to question the woman’s involvement in the attempted assassination after the video went public. Though acknowledging that it was “not typical” and “very suspicious,” some stated that her actions proved she was a “accomplice of the shooter,” while others referred to it as a “harmless coincidence.”
“Did anyone else catch the quick smile as the first shot rang out? Was that just a glitch?” one user wrote. Some users also pointed out she had “no shock or reflex to the sound of gunfire”.
This video of a woman located behind Donald Trump during his attempted assassination is HIGHLY suspicious.Her body language & behavior seem to indicate she knew that something was coming.

During Trump’s speech, gunfire erupted, causing him to shield his right ear before being tackled by Secret Service agents. Shortly after, Trump got up, directed his security to “hold on,” and lifted his fist, encouraging the startled crowd to “combat.”. At least one attendee was killed, and two others were critically injured, the Secret Service reported.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks as the suspect in the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump. The suspect, a resident of Bethel Park in Pennsylvania, was shot and killed by the Secret Service seconds after he allegedly fired shots towards a stage where Trump was speaking at the rally on July 13, days before the Republican convention.
