Former President Donald Trump was speaking to a crowd in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when he recognized a familiar face.
Returning to the state of his near-assassination, Trump spoke about the reaction of the audience in Butler. He praised the bravery of those in attendance, and specifically mentioned “the man behind me with the black outfit and the green floppy hat.”
“When bullets are fired in a stadium, everyone really gets moving fast, and they call it a stampede,” he told the Harrisburg crowd. “Nobody moved. You looked at the people behind me, right? Everyone’s seen those people. Those people have become legendary. That was just a small group. Tens of thousands of people right here, you couldn’t even see the end, nobody ran, nobody moved. They knew I was in trouble, they said, ‘He’s in trouble.’ If you went to a soccer stadium where you’ll have a bullet go off, one bullet, the whole place runs for the exits. Nobody ran. And how about the man behind me with the black outfit and the green floppy hat?”

The people in the audience quickly pointed out that the man Trump was describing was at the rally, prompting the former president to cry out: “Where? Get up here! Is that him? Yeah, that’s him! Wow! That’s great, huh? You can be in a foxhole with me any time, man! Wow. That was a hell of a day, huh?”
Gotta love Trump! A true man of the people!
Pointing out the man who was being a lookout for the sniper, and then seeing him in the audience!
Epic ❤️

Amazing moment. So great seeing a human like Trump doing his thing. Not a fraud like Harris.

If only the left knew how inclusive we are on this side. That is one thing about MAGA… Whether we know each other or not, it’s like one big awesome family. And Trump brings us together. Best president ever!
