Trump was hit on his ear as he grabbed it in pain before jumping behind a podium to take cover after the gunman opened fire.
He was seen with blood covering his face as he was swarmed by the Secret Service and rushed off stage in Pennsylvania.
Following the attempt on Trump’s life, a planned episode of The Simpsons has been pulled by Channel 4.
Bosses quickly axed the planned repeated episode due to air at 1pm on Sunday, featuring an active gunman.
The episode originally aired back in the 90s and saw Lisa discover that Springfield was actually founded by a fraudulent pirate.
During a scene, a shooter could be seen on the roof of a building as a public gathering took place, similar to the staging at Trump’s rallies.
In a bid to keep their Simpsons coverage rolling, the episode was replaced by a series 30 episode.
However, eagle-eyed fans noticed the last minute change at home and took to social media to comment.
One said: “Wondered at first why Channel 4 just pulled the scheduled broadcast of ‘Lisa The Iconoclast’ but I think I get it.”
A second wrote: “I did wonder why a random later season episode was thrown in the middle of this Season 7 mini marathon.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a member of the public looking at the schedule and phoning them up or sending an email,” said a third.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was “neutralized” by Secret Service snipers shortly after opening fire on the former president.
What we know about the Trump rally shooter
Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was identified as the gunman who opened fire during a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, killing one person and injuring three others including the former president.
Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022
He received a “star award” of $500 from the National Math and Science Initiative at his graduation
Classmates of his have claimed he was bullied in school and often wore “hunting” clothing to class
Others revealed that he never “outwardly spoke” about political views in school
Some classmates said Crooks had a few friends, but not a large friend group
He was registered as Republican in Pennsylvania and last voted in November, 2022 during the midterms.
In January 2021, Crooks made a $15 donation to Democratic action group ActBlue.
He was reportedly seen acting “suspiciously” before the assassination.
The gun used in the shooting was legally purchased by his father at least six months ago.
Explosives and bomb making materials were found in his home and car parked near the Trump rally
Crooks was shot and killed by Secret Service snipers on a nearby roof shortly after he opened fire at the rally
Photos appear to show Crooks wearing gray camouflaged clothing at the time of the shooting
