Maxx Crosby dubs Donald Trump 'Goat' after former President's attempted assassination at Pennsylvania rally
Maxx Crosby has dubbed former US President Donald Trump the "goat" after he survived an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally. The Las Vegas Raiders' star edge rusher took to his social media handles to post a picture of him and Trump at an event. He simply captioned the picture with these emojis:
"🐐 🐐 🐐"
Crosby's post came in the immediate aftermath of a shocking attempt on Trump's life. It happened at the Pennsylvania rally when an individual shot at the former President from an elevated position. The bullet pierced through Trump's upper right ear and made him duck soon after.
Members of the Secret Service tasked with protecting Trump promptly shot and killed the assailant. Images of a bleeding Trump with his fist in the air, being escorted away have since gone viral.
