Donald Trump Assassination Attempt:
Shockwaves rippled through Pennsylvania as gunfire broke out during former President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, near Pittsburgh, Saturday night. The incident left Trump supporters and critics reeling. Al Mason, a prominent Indian American Trump supporter, expressed relief that Trump, though injured, was unharmed.
“I’m in shock,” Mason said. “No attack on President Trump will stop him from winning the presidency again. Trump is a fighter and will fight for America.”
The Secret Service reported that shots were fired from an elevated position towards the stage, causing Trump to be quickly escorted off. He was seen with blood on his ear and cheek. Trump’s spokesperson confirmed he was “fine” and being examined at a local medical facility.
Hindus4Trump condemned the violence, emphasizing unity and the sanctity of life. “We stand in solidarity with President Trump and condemn this senseless division and violence. Hate has no place,” the group stated.
Jesse Singh, founder of American Sikhs for Trump, echoed support. “We condemn this act and pray for his safety. Waheguru ji bless Trump and America,” he said, predicting minority support for Trump this year.
Joe Biden’s supporters also denounced the attack. Ajay Bhutoria, Democratic Party deputy national finance chair, stressed non-violence. “Violence should never occur in our democracy. My thoughts are with President Trump and everyone affected today,” he said.
The FBI is leading the investigation, urging anyone with information to come forward. Trump’s senior advisers, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, assured supporters that Trump is “doing well” and looks forward to attending the Republican convention in Milwaukee. “President Trump will continue to share his vision to Make America Great Again,” they said.
