At his first outdoor campaign rally since surviving an assassination attempt, former President Donald Trump took a brief break from behind his bulletproof glass walls to attend to a medical emergency in the crowd. The rally, held in Asheboro, North Carolina, was filled with excited supporters eager to hear Trump's remarks.
As Trump was delivering his speech, a person in the crowd to his left appeared to have a medical episode. The situation immediately caught Trump's attention and he called for a doctor to come and assist. The crowd erupted in applause as Trump paused his speech and looked over to the area where the incident was taking place.
Noting the high temperature and the long wait his supporters endured to see him, Trump expressed his concern for their well-being. "It is very hot here, I notice. It is very hot. A lot of the people waited for days to get here. I understand it," he said. "Take your time, doctor, take your time, thank you."
After ensuring that the person was being taken care of, Trump walked away from his secure podium and down a few steps into the crowd. He hugged a woman who appeared to be the one who suffered the medical emergency. She was drinking water and seemed to be recovering.
Standing by Trump during the interaction were a group of Secret Service agents, keeping a watchful eye on the situation. As the crowd began chanting "We love Trump!", the ex-president made his way back to the stage.
The rally was held at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame, almost two months after Trump's ear was grazed by a bullet at an open-air rally in Pennsylvania. After his speech, Trump did his signature two-fisted dance as "YMCA" played within the protective glass walls. He then walked out into the crowd for a few minutes before disappearing behind a curtain.
