This was a miracle.

God intervened and protected President Trump.

President Trump told former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson that a last millisecond head tilt saved his life after a gunman opened fire on him from an elevated position at his Pennsylvania rally.

I spoke to OUR President last night. He is doing well and as STRONG AS EVER. Thank God he is ok! If you ever wondered, your questions have been answered last night, he IS the WARRIOR this country MUST have to survive. God Bless Trump and God bless the USA!!

Trump told Dr. Ronny Jackson that he turned his head to the right to look at a chart on illegal immigration statistics when a bullet grazed his ear.

“That chart that I was going over saved my life,” Trump said to Ronny Jackson by phone just hours after the attempted assassination, according to The New York Times.

“The border patrol saved my life,” he said. “If I hadn’t pointed at that chart and turned my head to look at it, that bullet would have hit me right in the head.”

Dr. Ronny Jackson’s nephew was injured during the Trump assassination attempt after a bullet grazed his neck. Thankfully he is okay.

Trump said it was “God alone” who saved his life.

“Thank you 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. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray 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. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday morning.

A Donald Trump-approved GoFundMe fundraiser has surpassed the million-dollar goal to support the victims and families of those injured and killed during the failed assassination attempt on the former president.

By Sunday evening, the fundraiser had raised $2,881,693 — nearly triple the original goal — from over 36,000 donors.

In addition to Trump being shot in the ear, one rallygoer was killed, and two others were critically injured.

The deceased victim has now been identified as 50-year-old former Pennsylvania fire chief Corey Comperatore. He died while shielding his daughter from the gunfire.

According to former classmates of 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate President Trump on Saturday, described him as a “kid that was always alone” and was “bullied so much” for the things he wore, including “always [wearing] a mask even after COVID.”

Do you know any Republicans who wore masks even after COVID?

Crooks was reportedly registered Republican but has donated to Democratic candidates. If there was a conspiracy to assassinate President Trump, they probably wouldn’t use a registered Democrat… Still, a motive has not been determined.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the FBI confirmed the identity of Crooks. Photos were released of the 2022 high school graduate.

BREAKING: Photos of Trump Shooter Released

Per New York Post:

The 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday was described by former classmates as a bullied loner with a penchant for hunting outfits and video games.

Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by the Secret Service on Saturday evening after he opened fire at the Butler Farm Show grounds, grazing Trump and killing another attendee.

Crooks – who graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022 – was a loner who was “relentlessly” bullied, former classmate Jason Kohler told KDKA.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated last night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Trump immediately grabbed his neck after being shot while bleeding profusely from his ear. Video recordings of the scene also show Trump ducking down immediately after the initial gunshots were heard.

Secret Service agents promptly shielded Trump and guided him away from further harm. Despite being injured, a defiant Trump raised his fist and yelled “Fight!” multiple times toward the crowd.

Following the assassination attempt, The Gateway Pundit revealed video footage from the rally seemed to show two Secret Service agents standing watch on the rooftop directly adjacent to where the shooter reported fired from, leaving many to wonder how they missed. Moreover, an eyewitness told the BBC that he informed the local police and Secret Service about a suspicious man on a roof with a rifle, but he was ignored.

Now, the news gets even worse. One local police officer might have been able to save the day by neutralizing the shooter but reportedly failed to engage.

After audience members pointed out to local law enforcement officers that Crooks was climbing a ladder onto the roof of a building, the officer followed and eventually confronted the would-be assassin.

Crooks responded by pointing his gun at the officer. The person in blue retreated down the ladder, and Crooks immediately fired a shot at Trump.

Thankfully, Secret Service snipers gunned down Crooks immediately afterward.

The AP reported:

Not long before shots rang out, rallygoers noticed a man climbing to the roof of a nearby building and warned local police, according to two law enforcement officials.

One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him, said the officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

The Pennsylvania State Police have identified the three other victims in the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.

Two victims were critically injured during the shooting but are now listed to be in stable condition. A third, Corey Comperatore, 50, of Sarver, Pa., was killed.

Comperatore was shielding his family when he was fatally struck.

The two injured victims have been identified as David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, PA, and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, PA.

Both men are said to be stable and recovering.

Trump was shot in the ear, transported to a medical facility, and released later that day.

The shooter was fatally shot and killed by counter-snipers moments after the assassination attempt.

Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris released the names while speaking to reporters on Sunday.

“These victims and their families are certainly in our thoughts today. The Pennsylvania State Police continue to work tirelessly alongside our federal, state, and local partners as this investigation continues,” Paris said.

A Trump-approved GoFundMe for the other victims has already surpassed $2,700,000.

Immediately after the Saturday assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the billionaire Bill Ackman followed another pro-Trump magnate, Elon Musk, in endorsing the former president’s current run.

Less than an hour after the shooting, Musk took to his X platform to post a video of Trump pumping his fist in defiance after the assassination attempt, along with a brief message endorsing Trump and wishing him a rapid recovery. On Friday, Musk had donated a “sizable” amount to a Trump-aligned PAC, but had not formally endorsed the former President.

In a lengthy X post, Ackman stated that he had declined to endorse Trump as it might cause Biden supporters to ignore what he had to say, and that he made the decision to endorse Trump “carefully, rationally, and by relying on as much empirical data as possible.” 

These endorsements by two prominent billionaires come at a time when numerous Democratic donors have grown hesitant towards donating to Biden after a poor June 27 debate performance. Currently, donors are withholding $90 million from Biden’s Future Forward PAC, a number which includes multiple individual commitments upwards of $10 million. 

As The American Conservative reported in late June, Trump and the RNC went from a $100 million cash disadvantage in March to a slight advantage in the aftermath of the former President’s May 30 conviction.

Trump returns home following attempted assassination at Pennsylvania Rally

President Trump released a new statement, announcing his departure for Milwaukee for the RNC Convention this week, noting that he won’t let a failed assassination attempt slow him down.

Imagine if this happened to Biden or any other Democrat. They’d be hunkered down in a basement while campaigning with virtual Zoom meetings and video messages from an undisclosed location!

The President made the announcement in a Truth Social post this afternoon, bravely declaring, “I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else.”

What is the RNC, who are seemingly more concerned about registering voters and getting people to turn in their mail-in ballots than they are about stopping the Democrats from registering 81 million fake voters and turning in stacks of phony mail-in ballots, going to do about “the shots heard round the world” last night?

How does some nerdy 20-year-old with a car full of explosives plan and nearly execute the assassination of a United States President–during a highly secured rally surrounded by Secret Service–without help from the people inside and the Democrats outside?

If Trump is doing anything, he should be looking extra closely at those surrounding him, especially given that his running mate, set to be announced this week, is next in line if they can take him out. And if the assassination was successful before Trump accepted the nomination, what then? Would Neocon warmonger Nikki Haley or Trump coattail rider Ron DeSantis become the nominee?

The convention will continue as planned, likely with heightened security. According to an internal security memo that was sent to staff and later leaked to the media, the Trump campaign is making security enhancements to campaign offices.

Still, Trump’s security needs to be examined.

The Gateway Pundit reported that an eyewitness told the BBC that several people witnessed the shooter crawling on the roof of a local building with a rifle before Trump was shot, but they did not act until Trump was shot. According to new reports, a police officer encountered the shooter on the roof but let him go after he pointed the gun at him and before he shot Trump.

We further reported that Secret Service agents may have had a clear view of the shooter from their position at a higher elevation than the shooter behind Trump, yet they did not act.

One video even shows an agent on the roof adjacent to Trump looking down his scope, seemingly with the assassin in his sights, hesitating, then snapping back to his rifle to return fire at roughly the same time as the first shot.

Trump will likely be safe at the RNC Convention this week, but, like Biden and the Democrats, the Republican Party and Trump campaign should be examined closely after this close call that put President Trump half an inch away from death.

Or will we wait until the uniparty and deep state succeed?

Joe Biden delivered remarks from the Roosevelt Room one day after a gunman attempted to assassinate President Trump.

President Trump was shot in the ear earlier Saturday at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In an appalling breach of security, the gunman climbed on a roof nearby and shot at Trump from an elevated position.

Trump’s detail didn’t even do the most basic work to secure the perimeter.

This is Joe Biden’s Secret Service.

After threatening Trump, referring to him as a dictator and spreading hoaxes (‘Bloodbath,’ ‘very fine people,’ ‘suckers and losers’) about the former president, Biden is now claiming he has no idea what motivated the would-be assassin.

Joe Biden walked into the Roosevelt Room flanked by Kamala Harris, US Attorney General Merrick and DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas.

“Last night I spoke with Donald Trump. I’m sincerely grateful that he’s doing well and recovering and we had a short but good conversation,” Biden said.

“Jill and I are keeping him and his family in our prayers. We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who was killed,” Biden said.

Biden offered his condolences to the Trump supporter who was killed on Saturday, “He was a father. He was protecting his family from the bullets that were being fired, and he lost his life.”

“We don’t yet have any information about the motive of the shooter. We know who he is. I urge everyone please don’t make assumptions about his motive or affiliations. Let the FBI do their job,” Biden said.

It’s simple. The shooter wanted Trump dead after the left-wing media, Joe Biden and Democrats called for violence against Trump and his supporters.

WATCH:
