President Trump Survives Assassination Attempt

Last Saturday, Donald Trump displayed a courageousness that only a select number of leaders possess. We all wonder how we would act in the face of brutal adversity, and the truth is that most of us would be shaken, frightened, and understandably focused on our own well-being after being shot at. The former president proved to the world last week that he is in a league of his own. While giving a speech in Butler, Pennsylvania, a gunman opened fire, and a bullet whizzed toward President Trump, hitting his ear and missing his brain by centimeters. He survived the assassination attempt.

After the Secret Service sprang into action to cover the president and the threat was neutralized, they scrambled to immediately evacuate him from the area. President Trump, however, wanted to reassure his fellow Americans and instructed the men and women protecting him to wait. A bloody Trump emerged from the huddled agents, and he pumped his arm in the air to indicate that he was okay. A roar of cheers erupted throughout the rally and then the president was whisked away into a black S.U.V.

The photo showing a defiant President Trump with blood sliding down his face and his arm triumphantly raised in the air will remain an iconic snapshot of American history for years to come. In the past decade, this man has endured and survived a slew of attacks at every turn. From the Russia hoax, impeachments, and assaults on his family, to being branded a racist, being persecuted by a corrupt Department of Justice, and being fraudulently convicted as a felon, President Trump has remained resolute and committed to America and its citizens. His unwavering love for this country is indisputable.

For the past several months, I’ve posted a string of ‘rants’ so I’d like to stay focused on the positive in this moment, but it bears mentioning what brought us to this horrific event. The irresponsible and harsh rhetoric flowing from politicians, the media, and many others in power have cultivated an environment ripe for an incident like this to occur. When you constantly refer to the former president as Hitler and when our current president consistently proclaims that Trump is an existential threat to our democracy, what do you expect to happen? That’s actually what the Second Amendment is for – to protect from a tyrannical government. If Americans suspected that a dictatorial madman and killer was rising to power, why wouldn’t they try to prevent that?

It is important to point out that we still do not know the motives of the 20-year-old shooter, but incessant rhetoric like this certainly doesn’t help. Not only was Trump a victim, but members of the rally suffered a traumatic experience. One attendee, firefighter Corey Comperatore, was tragically killed by the shooters’ bullets. He was a husband and father of two girls. By all accounts, Corey was a decent man, deeply involved with his community, and an avid supporter of President Trump. Two other individuals in the crowd were critically injured but are now in stable condition.

It has been 43 years since the assassination attempt of a president stunned America and the world. Following an address with union members at a hotel in Washington D.C., President Reagan was shot at after exiting the hotel. The perpetrator? John Hinckley Jr – a psychopath who fired rounds at the president from a revolver, wounding him and several others. The motive? To impress the actress Jodie Foster.

Again, the motives of President Trump’s assassination attempt are still unknown, but there’s no doubt that the insidious rhetoric from the left must be tamped down. America needs clear and strong leadership now more than ever. The attempt on Trump’s life solidifies one fact about his character; he is a courageous warrior.
