Incredible New Footage Shows Immediate Aftermath of Trump Shooting & Why He Dept Asking Secret Service Agents for His Shoes (and more about the 26 min. lapse).

New video shows the chaotic aftermath of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and reveals what led to the former president visibly asking for his shoes back. Initially dazed, Trump told agents: 'let me get my shoes, let me get my shoes' as he got up from the ground.

The video covers an angle previously unseen amid the chaos from behind Trump as he spoke. It shows the Secret Service tackling Trump and removing his shoes and tossing them off the stage. Trump himself has also seen the bizarre side of the incident, confirming what was visible on the video clip in the first interview he gave after the shooting.

Water tower 90ft tall, 100yrds East of assassin.

No over watch?

That vantage point easily covers the area

Just saw that on F&F. Man those shoes went flying. BTW, did you see that the police were actually in the building that the assassin was on top of.

The SS probably thought he had been shot in the body and wanted to make it worse.

That is a very tall ladder. I don’t think that even the SS would allow someone to walk around carrying it. I mean, it is okay to be blatant, but not that obvious.

As a woman, I agree! There are places for women in roles normally filled by men, but it should be the exception, not the rule.

Way off subject, but I work in the I.T. field. Core Infrastructure/Networking. Of the dozens of senior administrators maybe 10% are women. The girls I work with are no-nonsense which isn’t a trait most women possess. We think and reason differently. When I’m frustrated it takes a paragraph to get my thoughts out in a meeting whereas one of the men will say the same in one sentence lol.

In her mind maybe, but everyone was already up there, yes? Possibly she was so stressed she went into housekeeping mode?

Wow! Thank you for your service stanne. I admire women who ARE able to perform those type of jobs successfully. I wanted to be in the Marines as a teenager. Back then I thought I was tough and wanted to be a military police officer. I’m 5’4” tall and weighed maybe 115 at the time.

At the AFFES they pretty, much told me HELL NO. I chose communications instead....but as fate would have it I was plagued with kidney infections back then and never did make it in. God had other plans for my life :)

Yup. It’s also in this article. That is just nuts.

That’s what I was thinking. They got tossed out of the way so the detail didn’t trip over them.

Lots of stuff happens in confusion. In this context it makes sense and shows clear thinking.

Everyone wants to make stuff into conspiracies these days. Sometimes a banana is just a banana.

Re: why the shoes were thrown, I can think of a couple of reasons: (1) to keep people from tripping over them in the crush of people surrounding President Trump, OR (2) to try to make President Trump limp or look feeble as he was walked out. Thoughts?

My experience is that woman engineers are quite good. Women and men who have (what Dilbert called) ‘the knack’ are drawn to engineering.

“Stunning images showed Trump cowered on the floor as agents protected him, with blood dripping down his cheek.”

“cowered”???

“as agents protected him”??

Why not just state the facts: Trump was down on the floor with SS officers on top of him shielding him.

I can’t speak for their usefulness as SS agents, but that combo works for me generally.

They were trying to put a deceased tag on his toe.

“Sometimes a banana is just a banana.”

True, but would you choose a nice, firm yellow banana to take to lunch, or a brown nasty squishy one? Would it be a conspiracy to notice one wasn’t worth eating?

The only reason to toss them would be to clear the stage of obstructions.

Because she was way shorter than Trump, and figured removing his shoes, she might be able to better protect him by covering him with her body?
