LIFE-SIZE SCULPTURE OF 'FIGHTING' TRUMP MADE FROM NAILS UNVEILED AT ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SITE
Trump ducked to the ground as the bullets rang out, and he was then lifted to his feet by the Secret Service agents.
As they tried to move him off stage, Trump stopped and turned to the crowd, holding his clenched fist in the air and famously shouting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" as blood dripped from his ear after it was grazed by a bullet.
The image soon went viral and became a defining moment of the 2024 presidential election, portraying powerful symbolism of Trump’s resilience, bravery and fearlessness. The event galvanized Trump's base and influenced others to get behind his campaign.
