At a campaign rally in Michigan on Saturday, the Republican presidential candidate walked around with a small bandage on his ear. According to Agence France-Presse, there was a large amount of security on hand.

After the attack, the Secret Service, which is responsible for Trump’s security, was criticized. In an interview with Fox News on Saturday, the former president recalled the attack. “Nobody talked about it, nobody said there was a problem. Otherwise I would have waited fifteen minutes. And they could have said, ‘Let’s wait another fifteen minutes, or twenty or five.’ And nobody said anything.” According to Trump, it was a “mistake.” “How did somebody get on that roof and why wasn’t it reported?”

The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was lying on the roof of a building on the edge of the campaign trail last week. He was 120 to 150 meters away from Trump and had a clear field of fire. One spectator, a former fire chief, was killed in the attack.
