After the recent attempt on Donald Trump’s life during a rally in Pennsylvania, his campaign team shared a memo advising staff to steer clear of the offices, avoid public statements, and be ready for heightened security measures.
Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, who lead Trump’s reelection campaign, began the memo by acknowledging the Secret Service and first responders for their bravery during the incident at the rally.
In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump shared his harrowing experience of the bullet hitting his ear, recounting the immediate realization of the danger.
After the shooting, Trump, with blood visible on his ear, was swiftly taken off stage for medical attention nearby. The memo mentioned his upbeat spirits post-treatment.
LaCivita and Wiles expressed prayers for the injured and deceased supporters as noted in the memo obtained by Politico.
