In the wake of a distressing assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Barack Obama quickly issued a statement.
During Trump’s campaign rally, the event descended into chaos when apparent gunshots rang out. Trump was seen reaching toward his neck, with blood visible on his face, before being swiftly escorted off the stage by Secret Service agents. The Secret Service quickly implemented protective measures to ensure Trump’s safety.
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
The Secret Service said, “The former President is safe.”
Obama releases the following statement:
“There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.”

The violent rhetoric of the left, specifically from Joe Biden, are to blame for the assassination attempt on President Trump.
Shame on Biden and on the Democrat politicians who’ve been escalating tensions with their divisiveness.
Trump will win in November and save America.
