Very conservative newsmax says they were told by Pennsylvania police that they think it’s glass fragments that hit Trump.

BUT also a mass shooting, with 3 victims, 2 in critical condition.

No political figure has ever stoked as much violence as Trump. He’s supported neo nazis, undermined our elections, and stoked violence against his own VP and political candidate. So no, I don’t feel any sympathy for him. What goes around comes around.
We can be against everything Trump stands for but still be sympathetic to the plight of all politicians and rally-goers who are victims of gun violence. It appears that Trump nearly lost his life tonight. One of his supporters died. This is not OK.
Yes, it's well known that Trump has incited violence multiple times and has denied the dangers of Covid such that many of his supporters died of it. You can deplore the act without liking the man. But if you're going to hold the higher moral ground, instead of wallowing in the mud with this guy, then you can damm well express decent sorrow that he was shot at tonight, and that someone died.
I am deeply sorry that one of his supporters died. That is tragic. But that's on Trump. He has incited so much violence that it's no surprise that someone, probably mentally ill, turned the violence on him. His supporter was an innocent victim, and my heart goes out to his family. But Trump is to blame for this. He loves guns, and has outright told the NRA that their guns will be safe as long as he is president. He will not attempt to control guns at all. You reap what you sow. This is all on Trump.
Dear God.
The death of one of his supporters is all on the nutbag who thought it was a good idea to carry out an assassination attempt on a former president and a current presidential candidate.
Don't try to blame Trump for the violence carried out by this idiot.

This location was easily secured, not a complex urban space. The shooter was on a clear white roof with what looks like one of the few (maybe only) sightline.
+100%
I entirely agree that this is a security failure. The Secret Service is held to high standards, but as we've seen in multiple crisis situations, including Jan 6, it's comprised of human beings who aren't perfect.
