"Shot" hit teleprompter (didn't think there was one) and piece of glass or projectile ricocheted off of it.
There's always a teleprompter. Trump is just notorious for ignoring it. Not adding or detracting from that theory at all just adding some clarity.
Yeah, saw one on each side of the podium in a wider shot.

Also, if I had just been shot in that sort of environment, not so sure I'd be so concerned about my shoes. The audio from the hot mic is wild.

To be fair he is a massive narcissist, but I do agree that logically most people wouldn't be concerned about their shoes.

I like how people are using this to hype up Trump as a badass when it's not even in the top 10 most badass things a President has done.

1. Teddy gets shot in the chest, finishes his speech before being treated.
2. Assassin tries to take out Andrew Jackson (I fucking hate Andrew Jackson by the way) and when the gun jammed the elderly Jackson beat the would be assassin near to death with his cane.
3. Eisenhower's entire military career.
4. FDR being such a Chad he served 4 fucking terms and forced the legislature to codify presidential term limits.
5. Truman dropping the bombs.
6. Literally everything about LBJ, dude was a fucking force of a human being.
7. George fucking Washington being the leader of the rebellion that became our country.
8. Ulysses S. Grant winning the civil war while being as drunk as John Daly at a pro/am tournament.
9. Abraham Lincoln having the balls, will, and ability to direct the nation through the Civil War and come out on the other side stronger.
10. The Louisiana Purchase, possibly the greatest business deal in American History. Thanks, Tom!

And that's without getting into critical non-presidents, like Ben Franklin who was the mother fucking original gangster. That was also all without doing any research, just what immediately comes to mind.

That is not the sound of a gunshot at all. Even over a mic a .22 subsonic will be louder and have more of a crack to it. Sounded almost like a pellet or paintball gun.

I just made post making fun of Elon for how shitty the cybertruck is (he said 2 people tried to kill him this month or some shit and I replied that if I had spent 100 grand on one of those pieces of shit I'd probably try to kill him too) banned within 5 seconds.

What a soft, HGH whale.

Oh and they're saying the shooter was 125m from Trump.

A) That's an absurdly easy shot with a long rifle.
B) A long rifle or pistol will be louder on discharge than what we heard at almost 1000m let alone 125.

In all fairness Trump has suggested that maybe '2nd amendment people' should take care of political problems in our country.

If I had a vote, Teddy is my most badass POTUS.

LBJ is up there for killing JFK, alone.

Also agree with Washington & Lincoln. Pretty good list, actually.

Me thinks the Left would definitely be screaming about guns for weeks if it were a Dem. Doubt 2A advocates or the GOP is going to be blaming guns.

Are you against hunting rifles? Or they can only be bolt action? Shotguns? Pistola for home defense?

You just want the State to have access to firearms? If so, some very very bad things happened to citizens who have no way of defending themselves with anything other than harsh language.
