In a new post Sunday morning on his social media network Truth Social, former President Donald Trump thanked supporters as he was recovering from an assassination attempt.
He said he was grateful to “everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.”
“We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” he said.
Trump also said, “Our love goes out to the other victims and their families” and he said he’s praying “for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.”
“In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win,” he adds.
The former president was grazed in his right ear as he was beginning a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania Saturday evening about 6:15 p.m. One spectator at the rally was killed while two other attendees were injured.
The gunman was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks who was killed by Secret Service personnel, fired multiple shots at the stage from an “elevated position outside of the rally venue,” the agency said.

Good Morn ‘Ting America,
Be sure to read other accounts of this National failure of The Secret Service to check, clear, and monitor all nearby rooftops where a past President was speaking.
People that is SOP [Standard Operating Procedure].
Again, America, be sure to check other news sources as the above is an A. P. (Associated Press) reprint, and as you all know, A. P. is and always has been “In The Tank” with “The Dook 4 Brains Left”.
In these troubled times it is more important than ever to have an Elvis Pitts Amwrican on duty to interperate the news and provide you with Sage Wisdom you just wont get anyplace else. Please stop relying on The A. P. for your news.
Thank you America,
Elvis Pitts American

Glad he’s OK, he sure wanted that shoe back! If he wants unity maybe it’s time for him to tone everything he says about minorities and immigrants and people who aren’t of Norwegian ancestry down a bit.
Will he tell us at the convention how America is a failed state again? It would take somebody on the right to bring about reasonable limits on gun ownership, much like it took Nixon to open relations with China. Will he stand up to the NRA or will he continue to pretend gun violence in America has no impact on our standard of living?

Unity? From the man who built his entire political brand on sowing division and hate? Is he undergoing a John Newton-style transformation? One can always hope.
(John Newton was the English slave trader, who became an abolitionist minister, and wrote the hymn “Amazing Grace”).

His new brand will be telegraphed during the RNC speech. Trump just flipped on 2A as the argument against anybody doing anything about mass shootings in USA with shooters using professional grade weapons.

What assassination attempt? This was a normal, everyday mass shooting in USA. Bullied kid gets ahold of mom and dad’s AR15, goes on a shooting rampage. It’s normal shit. Don’t paint it with political paint and the normalcy of it becomes super obvious.
There is one difference this time, however. This time one of the victims can do something about it. Trump’s new “I got mass shot” outlook will be one of ending the USA’s massive gun violence problem. He alone can do it. As such, vote Trump 2024!
