President Donald Trump forced Secret Service agents to wait before rushing him off stage following a possible assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday — and pumped his fist with defiance, repeating the word “fight.”

It was an instantly iconic moment: Trump’s ear bloody and his face streaked with blood as he stared into the crowd of supporters in Butler, Pa.
