Footage from behind the stage just after Donald Trump’s assassination attempt Saturday has emerged, showing Secret Service agents swarm the former president and chuck one of his dress shoes off stage—less than a second before he began calling out to have it put back on.
That clip, obtained by the Buffalo news station WBEN, begins with Trump prone on the stage just moments after his right ear was hit and his face bloodied. He later said in his first interview after the attack that he was tackled so hard by agents that both of his shoes, black slip-on Oxfords, flew off his feet.
Despite having just narrowly escaped death, Trump appeared to fixate on his missing shoes. As he was brought to his feet, he repeatedly insisted he wanted his shoes back on before he was hustled off the stage.
