Summary

During a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump criticized the bulletproof glass surrounding him, joking that an assassin would need to “shoot through the fake news” to reach him, a remark aimed at the press positioned behind the glass.

He called the media “bloodsuckers” and mocked the glass’s size, referencing prior assassination attempts, including a July incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed him and an audience member was killed.

Trump added that his supporters serve as his “glass” for protection: “Glass here. There’s nothing over there. They’re my glass. See? Those people are my glass,” Trump said, pointing to the crowd.
