The assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life rocked the entire world over the weekend.
Thankfully, the 45th president is still alive, only narrowly avoiding death when a bullet pierced his ear.
According to Fox News, however, his son Donald Trump Jr. said that upon his release from the hospital, his dad was in “great spirits.”
The attempted assassination at the hands of a male in his 20s came during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, as Slay News reported.
Multiple video angles show Trump grabbing his ear after shots rang out and then falling down onto the stage while Secret Service agents rushed to surround him and contain the situation.
The shots were fired from a nearby rooftop, where the gunman was positioned.
Trump Jr. explained to Fox News that his father was doing great in the wake of the brazen attempt on his life, saying he will “never stop fighting.”
“I just spoke to my father on the phone and he is in great spirits,” Trump Jr., told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“He will never stop fighting to save America, no matter what the radical Left throws at him.”
The 45th president released several statements in the wake of the shooting, updating his followers and fans throughout the evening.
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
“Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured.”
He added, “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.
“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead.
“I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.
“I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.
“Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.
“GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
The incident sparked a massive, nationwide — and global — rally in support of Trump.
Ivanka Trump, who has not been involved with her father’s presidential campaign, also released a statement.
She thanked everyone for the well wishes for her father and concluded with, “I love you Dad, today and always.”
Thank you for your love and prayers for my father and for the other victims of today’s senseless violence in Butler, Pennsylvania. I am grateful to the Secret Service and all the other law enforcement officers for their quick and decisive actions today. I continue to pray for our…
