CHRISTIAN BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trumps Death: Bullet Pierces Ear at Rally | Secret Service Kills Shooter [#DonaldTrumpsDeath]
Former US President and Republican presidential contender for 2024 Donald Trump narrowly avoided an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, adding to America’s already turbulent political scene.
Bullets fired by a lone gunman on a nearby rooftop grazed and bloodied Trump’s right ear — he subsequently declared he was “fine” — but 1 other person was killed in the incident, in addition to the perpetrator, who was shot dead by the Secret Service immediately.
In iconic images that were rapidly shared across the world, a courageous Trump broke away from a group of Secret Service agents shielding him and raised a clinched fist with blood spreading over his cheek.
The iconic moment, which was turned into campaign paraphernalia within hours of the incident, enraged and galvanized his fans and is anticipated to propel Trump back to the White House.
The shooter was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks (20).
His 53-year-old father, Matthew, told CNN that he was trying to find out “what the hell is going on” but would “wait until I talk to law enforcement” before speaking.
Crooks, who was reported to be an outstanding student, was photographed wearing glasses, braces, and an American flag T-shirt in the hours following the shooting, even as law enforcement officials investigated the motive for the heinous crime.
Amid swirling conspiracy theories about it being a “inside job,” there were calls for the resignation of the Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle, who has championed the so-called 30×30 plan, a vow to have 30% women in law enforcement by 2030.
But Trump personally congratulated the Secret Service and law enforcement officers for their “rapid response” and conveyed his sympathies to the family of the individual slain at the rally, but he subsequently stated “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. 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 also reaffirmed his intention to continue his campaign and expressed his excitement for the forthcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee this week, saying:
“I truly love our country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our great nation this week from Wisconsin.”
The murder attempt attracted widespread condemnation from all sides of the political spectrum in the United States and elsewhere, with President Biden calling it “sick” and calling Trump to inquire about his wellbeing.
“There’s no place in America for this kind of violence, it’s sick. It’s sick. It’s one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this”
– US President Joe Biden immediately after the incident
