Trump Incident in Ohio. As you can see in the feature story, something happened today at a Trump rally in Ohio. What is clear from the video is that while Trump was speaking at an open air rally in Dayton, Ohio, half a dozen of what appear to be Secret Service agents rushed to him to protect his body. I had heard from people who said Trump had been rushed on the stage. But the video shows clearly that that did not happen. Presumably, the agents saw something they believed to be an imminent threat to Trump and rushed to protect him. We will try to find out more about what happened.
