Trump cleared up any confusion about where his “tight” shoes had also disappeared after he was removed from the stage, he told the New York Post Office.

In one video, the former president could be heard saying “Wait, I want to get my shoes” as he was rushed away.

A hot microphone also captured the moment these agents frantically shouted at Trump: “Get down.”

“The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off and became tight,” Trump told NYP.

Trump described these agents as “linebackers” due to their quick response after shots were fired at him.

The former president said he wanted to continue talking to the crowd at his rally, but was told he needed to be taken to a hospital.

Trump was at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

He was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, and one of those bullets hit his left ear.

Images of the former president punching the air as blood ran down his face went viral around the world.

The bandits were on a roof about 130 meters from the podium.

INTERNAL THOUGHTS

A Trump source also shared why he believed the comments about Trump’s shoes might have shown a lot more than people thought, The US Sun previously reported.

Andrew Giuliani, son of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, said he believes Trump’s actions sent a message to the country.

“For him to ask the Secret Service to wait to get his shoes, I know he was thinking, ‘I want to show the American people that I can walk in these,’” Giuliani told The US Sun.

“I think he is a very resilient person.

“I think he wants to show the forces of evil that he can persevere through something like this.”
