Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In a shocking turn of events, former US President Donald Trump narrowly avoided death after a gunman shot at him during an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. As the incident unfolded, social media erupted with memes and jokes, many of which mocked the Secret Service's alleged failure to protect Trump effectively.
One video, in particular, has captured the internet's attention. The clip shows a group of children reenacting the scene where a bullet grazed Trump's ear. The kids humorously dramatize the Secret Service's attempts to shield and evacuate Trump, using makeshift props like stools for a podium and wooden replicas of weapons. Initially posted on TikTok, the video has since gone viral across various social media platforms.
On July 17, an X user shared the TikTok video with the caption, “African kids reenact the Trump assassination attempt.” The post has garnered 1.1 million views to date. The comments section is filled with jabs at the Secret Service agents, criticizing their response to the shooting.
One user remarked, “What is so sad is that the kid had better protection than Trump did that day.” Another commented, “This looks far more respectable than the fumbling, bumbling & deer caught in headlights response we saw in Butler.” A particularly snarky comment read, “I was hoping to see one of them struggle to holster their weapon,” referencing a female Secret Service agent who reportedly had trouble re-holstering her gun during the incident.
Other users noted the broader cultural impact of the video. “These videos coming out from Africa of them mocking the political. Violence and Secret Service. These kids are taking over the media feeds and I dig it,” said one individual. Another added, “I’m dying. First, little kids in Africa know who Donald Trump is and what happened. And second, the comments are hilarious.”
As the video continues to circulate, it has become a focal point for discussions on social media, blending humor with a critique of the security breach during Trump's rally.
