Payam Javan: On July 13, in Butler, Pennsylvania, Secret Service agents swiftly escorted former President Donald Trump off the stage following sounds resembling gunshots. Trump was only minutes into his speech before the disturbance occurred, prompting him to grab his right ear. Agents immediately brought him to the floor near the podium. Moments later, Trump, with apparent blood on his ear, was seen leaving the stage, surrounded by agents. The event, attended by tens of thousands, was abruptly interrupted.
