Former President Donald Trump displayed remarkable composure following a shocking assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to a prominent lawmaker who was on the scene.

Trump was speaking at the Saturday event when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks allegedly opened fire from a nearby rooftop, and though the tragic event resulted in the death of one attendee and injuries to others, including a minor injury to Trump himself, Rep. Ronny Jackson -- a former White House physician -- marveled at Trump's ability to maintain calm in its aftermath, as Fox Business reports.

Gunman Opens Fire at Rally

The rally turned chaotic when Crooks began shooting, causing panic among attendees. A bullet grazed Trump’s ear, causing minor bleeding, but the former president’s demeanor reportedly remained unaffected.

Jackson’s nephew, also present at the event, sustained an injury when a bullet grazed his neck. Despite his injury, he was more disturbed by witnessing someone’s death in the medical tent.

Trump's Reaction Portrayed Steadfastness

Jackson described Trump as "not fazed at all" by the events that unfolded during the rally. This demonstration of calm and resilience reportedly had a soothing effect on his staff, who were understandably shaken by the incident.

"The staff is a little shaken up, I think, but he was not fazed at all," Jackson said. "He was his same usual self, and he's been in a great mood. He's been joking around. He's very fired up and energetic," Jackson continued, highlighting Trump’s ability to maintain his composure during a crisis.

"I was proud to see that," Jackson added. "It's a good example [of] when you have other people that work for you that are a little shaken up. It's a leadership move, and I'm proud to see the way he's stepped up."

Examining The Immediate Aftermath

In the immediate aftermath, Trump was seen in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he exhibited no signs of distress. Jackson, who examined Trump’s ear on a plane, noted that the injury was significant primarily due to the vascular nature of the ear.

"It did hit his ear, obviously you saw the blood, but he turned his head just at the exact right time, and it just took off a little bit of the top part of his ear," Jackson explained. "The ear, of course, is very vascular, so it bleeds like crazy. It's bandaged up and everything because it's prone to bleed again, and it has been a little bit."

Nephew's Traumatic Experience

Jackson's nephew's experience was particularly harrowing, not because of his minor injury, but due to his proximity to the fatality that occurred. "To be honest with you, I think the most traumatic thing for him was not the superficial, minor injury that he sustained, but the fact that he was in the medical tent with the gentleman who passed away," Jackson revealed.

"They were in the medical tent together," he added. "I think that shook him up a little bit."

Trump's Quick Move Potentially Lifesaving

Witnesses speculated that Trump’s quick head movement while speaking might have saved his life. The bullet, which only grazed his ear, could have resulted in a far more serious injury or worse.

The incident has not led to any significant change in Trump’s campaign activities. Post-incident reports from Jackson, who was with Trump in New Jersey, confirmed that the former president has continued his schedule without interruptions.

Leadership Amidst Crisis

Jackson emphasized that Trump’s reaction serves as an example of leadership during times of crisis.

He maintained an energetic and positive demeanor, which appeared to boost the morale of those around him.

Investigation Ongoing

Authorities continue to investigate the incident, with Crooks having been fatally shot on the scene.

The motives for the assassination attempt remain unclear, but the gravity of the situation underscores the risks associated with public events for high-profile figures.

Conclusion

Despite the attempted assassination that led to one death and multiple injuries, former President Trump remained as energetic and undeterred as ever.

The swift response from his team and Trump's steadfastness provided a sense of stability during a chaotic event.

The investigation is ongoing, and the true motivations behind Crooks' actions are yet to be determined.
