Chaotic new footage of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump gives a fresh insight into the moment he was swarmed by Secret Service agents, knocking off his shoes.
The video, filmed from behind the stage and obtained by WBEN, shows Secret Service agents huddling over Trump, shielding him from possible further gunfire, just seconds after his ear was hit by a bullet fired by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks.
An agent is then seen tossing Trump’s shoes off the stage — with the defiant GOP candidate quickly getting to his feet and calling out, “Let me get my shoes, let me get my shoes.”

The previously unseen angle of the shooting then shows agents trying to escort a disheveled Trump off stage but are briefly stopped when he puts his fist up in the air to assure the crowd he was not killed.
The footage then captures an up-close view of the former president being safeguarded away from the stage, surrounded by a gaggle of Security Services agents, as rallygoers chant “USA!” and applaud before the video ends.
Trump, 78, cleared up why his shoes were off in an interview with The Post on Sunday.
“The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight,” Trump said.

The former prez also commended the Secret Service — who have come under much scrutiny since Saturday’s assassination attempt — for their heroic actions.
“They did a fantastic job,” he shared. “It’s surreal for all of us.”
Trump also added he told the agents he wanted to return to the podium and “keep speaking,” but he “just got shot,” so they wouldn’t allow it.
One of the rallygoers positioned in the front row behind Trump when he nearly was killed explained the moments leading up to the recently released video.

“At first, I seen him grab his ear, but then he went down,” said Rich from Angola, NY, told WBEN. “We didn’t notice he was wounded, but then the Secret Service jumped on top of him right away.”
Rich noted that the Secret Service remained very professional during the attempt on Trump’s life and that “they did their jobs exactly the way you would expect them to do it.”
Another New Yorker attending the Pennsylvania rally detailed the mayhem that broke out seconds after the shots were fired.

“We were trying to get closer to the area that [Trump] was, and so therefore, we saw one of the Secret Service men going toward the [stage], so we followed him. And soon after that, we heard that pop, pop, pop, pop. And somebody said, get down,” Joyce Gallagher told the outlet.
“Your brain is trying to process the pop pop, it could be anything, it could be firecrackers. It could be some kind of prank or whatever. But, you know, that’s the point where the surreal comes into play. Immediately, you saw people on the stage ducking, and you also notice people saying, ‘Get down, seriously get down’ and I have never seen people flatten on the ground as far and as fast as I did.”
Crooks, 20, narrowly missed Trump as the presidential hopeful spoke at the rally, grazing the politician’s ear, at his campaign rally in Butler, Pa.
The gunman apparently shimmied up on top of a nearby building, army-crawled into position with a rifle, and squeezed off at least five to seven shots from about 130 yards away at the former president before Security Service snipers killed him.
“They took him out with one shot right between the eyes,” the former president said, praising the snipers.

Trump made an appearance Monday at the GOP convention, two days after he was left bloodied by a sniper’s bullet.
When the 78-year-old former president emerged from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, most of his right ear was wrapped in a bandage.

In the summer of 2020, Alex Dodman, a resident of Essex, UK, embarked on an ambitious venture: transforming his backyard into a swimming pool oasis. Having recently moved into a new property with his partner, Sarah, the couple faced a project that demanded both attention and skill.
With a keen eye for cost-effective solutions, Alex scoured Facebook for most of the project’s components, managing to save substantial sums compared to hiring professional contractors. From material transport to renting a digger and excavating the site, Alex took charge of every aspect of the project.

Putting his DIY skills to the test, Alex also handled the tiling and plumbing, significantly reducing the overall remodeling cost to approximately $10,000, merely a fraction of the traditional expense. Alex’s determination and hard work paid off as he successfully achieved his goal of providing his family with a private retreat. However, Alex’s latest undertaking surpasses all previous projects.

Having moved in with his fiancée, Sarah, their two children, Allie and Eddie, Alex has embarked on the complete reconstruction of their family home. Demonstrating his proficiency as a DIY enthusiast, he previously saved £75,000 by creating a home theater and gym. Now, his sights are set on an even more ambitious project, building a house for his family.

Alex’s dream of having a swimming pool in his garden inspired him to become an amateur builder. Identifying an area in need of attention, he delved into extensive research to understand the entire construction process. With meticulous planning and a comprehensive understanding of tools and methods, Alex set out to turn his dream into reality.

Though he initially believed creating a pool would be a straightforward task, Alex encountered unforeseen challenges after acquiring the necessary materials. Overcoming obstacles required time, energy, and financial investment, as well as the application of complex problem-solving skills. Undeterred, Alex persevered through the hurdles imposed by the unexpected, ultimately realizing his goal of establishing an enticing sanctuary in his garden.
Motivated by a YouTube video depicting a woman building a pool in Holland, Alex pushed forward despite delays caused by the unavoidable disruptions of Covid. He sourced materials with his own hands, leveled the land in meticulous preparation, and tackled every aspect of the construction process. Through unwavering dedication and hard work, Alex proudly claims: “I did every last part of it all by myself”.
