The Trump Assassination Attempt and That Illegal Immigration Chart
On July 13, there was an attempt on the life of former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
It was a very close call and thanks to the providence of God, the candidate survived.
The shooting took place at a Trump rally, which is noteworthy.
I’ve attended seven Trump rallies, and I also went to another one but couldn’t enter the building because it was full.
At these gatherings, you really see and feel the energy of the MAGA movement. Trump himself gets as big a charge out of it as the attendees. It gives him a chance to connect with the people.
A Trump rally is a combination of an evangelical service, circus, fair, rock concert, and stand-up comedy act.
It's a community get-together. You may spend hours waiting to get in, during which time you can meet and talk with Trump supporters.
Trump supporters are slandered and libeled as being angry, deplorable haters. But the mood at a Trump rally is upbeat and positive. It’s not a hateful atmosphere.
It’s carnival-like, with vendors selling Trump memorabilia.
At one rally I attended, we were waiting outside as it was getting cooler, with some light rain falling.
A lady in line noticed that my son’s high school friends were in short sleeves. Right there on the spot she purchased sweatshirts for them.
Such are the “Deplorables” you meet at Trump rallies.
When Trump was president, there was a special moment at rallies when a Secret Service agent would come out and affix the presidential seal to the podium. Then you knew that Trump was on the way, although you might have to wait some more.
The rallies showcase Trump’s extraordinary affinity for Flyover America.
The New York City billionaire has better rapport with rural Midwesterners and Southerners than many of their own representatives.
A Trump rally is a special kind of gathering and I have no doubt the one in Butler had that same energy.
And yet, the rally at Butler was the scene of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, from which he narrowly escaped death.
Corey Comperatore, a 50-year old rally-goer, was shot and killed while protecting his wife and daughter. Two other attendees were badly injured. The shooter was killed.
There are still many unanswered questions which might lead some to disturbing conclusions.
What was the shooter’s motivation?
Why wasn’t that building secured? Why didn’t they postpone the speech if they had received word about the danger posed by Thomas Crooks?
What’s with the Secret Service?
Was it incompetence or something worse? You hate to think the latter, but Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle wasn’t being too helpful with her answers before she resigned.
Why aren’t American bureaucrats held accountable for such failures?
Is the mission of the Secret Service to protect politicians or promote diversity? Is a feminized Secret Service a good idea?
The immigration issue stands front and center here, as well.
Trump had only been speaking a few minutes and was discussing our broken border when he was hit.
There was a chart of border crossings on display at the rally.
The chart portrays illegal immigration levels from 2012 to 2024, clearly showing that they are far worse under Biden than under Obama and Trump.
🚨🇺🇸TRUMP: THE IMMIGRATION STATISTICS CHART SAVED MY LIFE

“That chart that I was going over saved my life,” he told his former White House doctor, Rep. Ronny Jackson, referring to an immigration statistics chart he pointed to just as shots rang out at his rally in Butler County,… pic.twitter.com/90FXBde7un
Trump tilted his head to point to the chart. As he did, the bullet arrived, nicking his ear rather than entering his brain.
Incredible illustration. Also easy to forget that Trump narrowly escaped death multiple times in a few split seconds. It wasn’t just one shot that came close to hitting him.

After hitting the ground and getting back up again, Trump called for his followers to “fight” and raised his fist in defiance as Secret Service agents rushed him off-stage.
An iconic photograph taken of Trump captures the moment: his fist raised and face bloodied, with the American flag billowing in the background.
These Trump photos from AP are going to be everywhere for the next few months - blood, fist raised, American flag, agents taking him off stage.

That photo portrays Trump’s defiance against the odds.
No matter what his adversaries hurl at him and his campaign, Trump continues to fight on.
