Donald Trump starts fundraising off his own assassination attempt MILWAUKEE — Less than 24 hours after being shot in the ear, former President Donald Trump is raising money off the attempt on his life. "I am Donald J. Trump, and I will NEVER SURRENDER!" reads an email to supporters that includes an altered photograph of a bloodied Trump — a photo that appears to match one originally taken Saturday by Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci and uncredited. "I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again." Supporters who click a red and blue "MAGA" button over Trump's digital signature are taken to a donation page where they're urged to donate at least $24, with other pre-set options ranging up to $3,300. A scrolling list highlights the names and donation amounts of people the Trump campaign say have donated — "$24.98 just donated by Kent C.", "$104.98 just donated by Val Y." and so forth. Several grifters selling trading cards, t-shirts, and tote bags are also attempting to capitalize on the shooting Saturday in Pennsylvania, which killed one man and wounded another. The gunman — 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks — was killed by the U.S. Secret Service.
'Much bleeding took place': Trump issues first statement since shooting at rally Donald Trump has broken his silence after being injured while on stage during an apparent shooting. Trump appears to be fine after the attack, but one individual in the crowd is reportedly dead. Trump took to Truth Social to explain his view of what had occurred. "I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania," Trump said Saturday. "Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured." "It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead." Finally, Trump claims he "was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear." "I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin," Trump added. "Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
Don Jr. doesn't want to 'hear another word about Jan. 6' after dad's shooting Donald Trump Jr. suggested Sunday that Democrats were responsible for an attempted assassination of his father. A day after a gunman shot at the former president, his son spoke to Newsmax about the incident. Trump claimed that his dad's opponents believed "everyone on the right is Hitler, everyone in the right is "But it seems to all be coming from them," he asserted. "Whether it's the riots or this, I don't want to ever hear another word about January 6th after July 13th, not one more." "It needs to stop," Trump said. "We got to get our country back on track. We got to create some unity. We have to start putting America first. "And my father is the only person actually capable of doing that because he's already done it."
this kid appears like the typical magatard-incel-freak-... whatever. but maybe he shot because he thought trump is still not radical enough.
Of course this was going to happen, the left and the left wing media has been stirring the pot for years. Lots of people knew the only choice Trump's opponents had left was to try to assassinate him. Possible assassination has been talked about for a long time.
Reports coming out a local cop climbed the ladder, saw the shooter and retreated back down the ladder after the kid pointed the rifle at him. Uvalde cowardice if true.
Jr. is part of the problem that started fueling "fight like hell"..."take back the White House at all costs" going into January 6th, 2021... Escalating the violence in politics. Now that some of that violence has been targeted towards his father... That's the sad consequence of racketing up the rhetoric temperature in politics. Simply, he forgot or ignored that there are crazies on both sides of the political spectrum. Yet, I don't expect Jr. to understand that and he will continue with the bullshit rhetoric... Possibly putting both Presidents, law enforcement, and other American citizens at high risk of a violent attack on their lives. If this is not a wake up call to America with so many people that are legally armed to carry a weapon in many state, political rallies in most of those carry-conceal states... His father was shot by a legally armed Republican and next week it could be Biden shot by a legally armed Democrat pssst off about Israel/Hamas by Jr's rhetoric the war is Biden's fault. Wake up Jr. and tone down your instigating rhetoric to prevent grooming the crazies (lunatics) on both sides of the political spectrum that easily view it as a signal that violence is the solution...consistently being broadcast on his social media network (e.g. Podcasts). wrbtrader
