Ex-President Donald Trump left a bulletproof glass wall protecting him in his first outdoor campaign rally since surviving an assassination attempt to check on a fan experiencing a medical emergency.

Trump was delivering remarks to supporters in Asheboro, North Carolina, when an attendee to stage left appeared to have a medical episode shortly before 3pm on Wednesday.

The situation caught the Republican nominee’s attention and he looked over and called for ‘a doctor, please’.

Claps rung out as Trump halted his speech and looked to his left for several minutes at the direction of the episode.

Trump mentioned the high temperature and that some of his supporters had waited a long time to see him speak.

‘It is very hot here, I notice. It is very hot. A lot of the people waited for days to get here. I understand it,’ he said. ‘Take your time, doctor, take your time, thank you.’

Trump then walked away from the panels of glass and down a few steps into the section of the crowd, and found and hugged an elderly woman.

I'll give credit where credit is due...Trump's got big cojones and I believe that he does actually care for his middle and working class supporters.  Some friends of mine met him at the Harrisburg (PA) Airport earlier this week, and he couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.

I wish he could be like that all the time.

Two men handcuffed, firearm removed from vehicle after North Carolina Trump rally: police
Castona Jr. was given a citation under the 'Weapons at Parades' North Carolina statute

Two men were handcuffed and firearms in their vehicles were confiscated after a "safe and uneventful" Trump rally in Asheboro, North Carolina.

The suspect, Robert Castona Jr., was cited for NC General Statute 14-277.2, titled "Weapons at Parades, etc., prohibited" for displaying a weapon within his vehicle.

The 79-year-old was allegedly involved in a road rage incident according to Asheboro PD, but "made no threats to assault anyone."

In an earlier post on Facebook, the Asheboro Police Department shared a laundry list of prohibited items at the event, including drones and other unmanned aircraft systems, explosives, and firearms.

"Upon further investigation, officers determined that during an apparent road rage incident, and although a weapon was displayed from within a vehicle, it was not pointed at anyone," read an Asheboro Police press release shared with Fox News Digital.

"With these facts known, the elements were not met for any violation of North Carolina General Statutes related to typical weapons offenses, assault offenses, or the State’s communicating threats offense."

According to police, the "incident took place away from the event site, after the event concluded and as attendees were leaving."
