Summary

During a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump criticized the bulletproof glass surrounding him, joking that an assassin would need to “shoot through the fake news” to reach him, a remark aimed at the press positioned behind the glass.

He called the media “bloodsuckers” and mocked the glass’s size, referencing prior assassination attempts, including a July incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed him and an audience member was killed.

Trump added that his supporters serve as his “glass” for protection: “Glass here. There’s nothing over there. They’re my glass. See? Those people are my glass,” Trump said, pointing to the crowd.

    Of course he doesn’t mind. He didn’t mind that the bullet that grazed his ear killed a veteran firefighter who was behind him, a firefighter that was super-MAGA.

    So why would he mind if they had to shoot through people he already didn’t like?
