On Wednesday, MSNBC host Joy Reid raised several questions regarding former President Donald Trump’s injuries following a narrow escape from an assassination attempt. In a post on Threads, Reid questioned the details of Trump’s injuries, asking for medical reports and clarity on the nature of the injury, whether it was caused by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet. She also expressed concern about the security measures at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and why Trump was allowed to pose for photos and interact with attendees while there could have been additional threats.
Reid’s post addressed the lack of medical information from Trump, contrasting it with the scrutiny applied to President Biden. She also questioned the logistics of the attack, including how the shooter managed to access the roof despite police being present and the credibility of claims regarding the shooter’s equipment and connections.
In a discussion on-air, Reid suggested that Trump might face repercussions for his promotion of violence. This commentary followed her recounting her own experiences at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
MSNBC’s Michael Steele also questioned the nature of Trump’s injuries, speculating whether they were caused by a bullet or possibly shards of glass from a teleprompter. Steele noted the inconsistency in reports and the lack of detailed information released to the public.
Joy Reid went on a detailed rant questioning the circumstances surrounding Donald Trump’s recent injury. She expressed frustration over how Trump seemed to be able to pose for a photo and fist pump the air despite being shot. Reid pointed out that there are still unanswered questions about the nature of Trump’s injury—whether it was from a bullet, glass fragments, or shrapnel.
She also criticized the response during the shooting, noting that Trump was allowed to stand and pose for photos for nine seconds amid an active situation. Reid found it unusual that he was permitted to stand up and pose outside of the SUV instead of being quickly escorted away.
