'Donald Trump Hit By Glass Not Bullet': New Shocking Reports Claim Trump Shot In A Planned Stunt?

Donald Trump was shot at today during an election rally in Pennsylvania. The former US President is reported to be safe and recuperating under medical care.

This discrepancy has fueled conspiracy theories, with some social media users calling the event a staged 'photo op' for sympathy and votes. President Biden has condemned the attack as "sick," and tech mogul Elon Musk has publicly endorsed Trump following the incident. The true details of what happened remain under investigation. #TrumpShooting #Election2024 #GlassOrBullet #ConspiracyTheories #TrumpRally #PoliticalNews #BreakingNews #DonaldTrump #USPolitics ~HT.97~PR.274~
