President Trump Survives Unprecedented Third Assassination Attempt

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! That is what candidate Donald Trump yelled to the crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania when a psycho tried to assassinate the Republican leader in the 2024 Presidential race. 

As shocking as it is, there was yet another attempt – a third attempt – on 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The first was in Butler, Pennsylvania, the second was at Trump’s own golf course in Florida, the Trump International Golf Club, West Palm Beach, and last night, the third.

Law enforcement officials identified the alleged assassin as Cole Tomas Allen, who was arrested near the screening area outside the banquet hall. One secret services officer was struck in a bullet-resistant vest and is expected to recover.

Members of Allen’s family contacted police recently, with information on Allen’s radical behavior, and radical groups he was involved in, as well as having several weapons and weapons training.

There will be a great deal to investigate, starting with the lax security in the Hilton Hotel.

But even more startling is how the rhetoric from the left has escalated very recently, leading to this moment.

Constitutional attorney Jonathan Turley asked, “Did Jimmy Kimmel, in his fake WHCD routine from a few days ago, really say, “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”? Yes, he did.”

Turley said in an interview with Brian Kilmead’s Sunda show, “we live in an age of rage, and there are people fueling this rage. Rage is addictive, and dangerous. You love control. People like Allen will hear it as a licensed for violence.”

In his book, “Rage and the Republic,” Turley says, “In the United States, the political divide has b become deep and increasingly violent. we are already seeing the signs of political atrophy as influential figures joint he call for sweeping constitutional and institutional changes int he US. The Assumption that the Constitution can, once again, weather this period of unrest and uncertainty is a dangerous conceit… The coming storm will test again a system that has lost key allies in politics and academia.”

We are rattling the roots of the Constitution. Can this unique Republic survive us? Can we keep it? Can we remember who we were then and who we are now? There is a crisis of faith that people no longer have ion our system.

The violent rhetoric coming from the left has been relentless.

Kari Lake, who directs the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), said:

I walked out right next to Jake Tapper & looked him in the eye. “How dare you? You’ve caused so much division in this country with your lies. I’m done calling it gaslighting — you’ve LIED to the American people.” These reporters have spent a decade spreading absolute lies about President Trump. They share some of the blame for what happened tonight. As a mother, I’m exhausted by it. I couldn’t stay silent and walk out pretending someone like Jake Tapper is one of the good guys.

Remember when  California Governor Gavin Newsom said “The Democratic Party needs to be ruthless.”

The appropriate response came from actor James Woods:

Oh, please shut your lying cake hole. You’ve done nothing but promote hatred against this president every day of your filthy worthless life.

President Trump’s former Director of National Intelligence and former Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell said “@tedlieu has been calling for radical action for a long time. His constituent is the shooter.”

Grenell highlighted how “The violent left demands that people take action”:

Unhinged Keith Olberman said, “if you are attending the Correspondents Dinner tonight and you are not planning to actively protest the presence of Trump and his henchmen and yet you claim to be a journalist and a patriotic American.. You are neither a journalist nor an American.”

To repeat: if you are attending the Correspondents Dinner tonight and you are not planning to actively protest the presence of Trump and his henchmen and yet you claim to be a journalist and a patriotic American..

You are neither a journalist nor an American

STAND FOR SOMETHING

Libs of Tim Tock posted, “Meet Corinne Baum, a teacher at The Children’s House in Cincinnati. She posted a video talking about how sad she was that she woke up to the news that Trump WASN’T ass*ssinated.”

The left has nothing to promise to the American people. – they already gave away all of the free stuff, and have subsequently bankrupted many once-useful government safety-net programs.

Clay Travis added:

Trump’s attempted assassin manifesto he sent to family members ten minutes before his attack. He wanted to kill Trump & sounds just like your average Blue Sky poster or MSNBC/CNN anti-Trump viewer. He also ridiculed the lack of security:

Perhaps emblematic of the depth of the media corruption is this:

What will it take to stop this violent rhetoric?

Immediately after the attempt on Trump’s life, this member of the vile, rabid left posited that the President staged his own assignation attempt to boost his ratings:

Can it be that just when his presidency is at its worst, he creates another “assassination attempt” for sympathy?

Just remember this photo of Trump and cabinet members in the Oval Office after the WHCD shooting, (via Daniel Torok).

My favorite is this from Kevin Dalton:

Zip it, Gavo. This is exactly the violence that your hateful rhetoric has created.
