Yellowstone is doing a natural Hauk Tuah..
A hydrothermal explosion rocked Yellowstone National Park today, destroying an observation area at Biscuit Basin.

Channel 11′s Nicole Ford confirmed that Beaver County’s ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to Ford’s sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person. We have learned from our sources the person in that picture is Thomas Crooks. We’re told it’s not clear if Crooks had a gun with him at that point.
According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5:45 p.m. Our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point, but did not see him where the first picture was taken.
26 minutes after the second picture of Crooks was taken by law enforcement and the information called in, shots were fired from the roof of the American Glass Research building. Seconds later, a Secret Service sniper returned fire and killed Crooks.

The POST said that Trump was bandaged but photos were not permitted to be taken..
Some quotes:
On the shooting: “I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump said. “I’m supposed to be dead”
On the “get my shoes” request.. “The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight,” he said with a smile.
On the shooter: “They took him out with one shot right between the eyes,” the former president said as he pointed to the bridge of his nose. “They did a fantastic job,” he added. “It’s surreal for all of us.”
On the photo and the “fight” with a fist pump: “A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen,” Trump said. “They’re right and I didn’t die. Usually you have to die to have an iconic picture.” He added, “I just wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot.”
“By luck or by God, many people are saying it’s by God I’m still here,” he said.
