But what\u2019s clear now is that no one has to question Trump\u2019s fitness for office.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has yet to show even a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/george-clooney-calls-biden-drop-race-just-weeks-hosting-glitzy-fundraiser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smidgen of similar stamina<\/a> on a good day.<\/p>\n<p>Not long thereafter, Trump took to the social media platform TruthSocial to reassure Americans in another way. Within his words, he shared his condolences for the rally attendee that was shot and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/brain-matter-lots-blood-er-doc-recounts-trying-save-trump-attendee-shot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killed<\/a> in the failed assassination attempt as well as the others who were injured.<\/p>\n<p>Trump stated, \u201cI 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost 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. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This was the scene on Saturday \u2014 and Trump\u2019s reaction:<\/p>\n<p>As it has been extremely tough to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/just-trump-alerts-everyone-injury-first-message-since-bloody-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proud<\/a> to be an American since Biden took office, I think that Trump just returned that to every patriot in our nation. His was a response of valor.<\/p>\n<p>The lion just roared. And it is a roar that will undoubtedly be heard around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders put their people first and themselves behind. Biden knows nothing of this as he is demonstrating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/despite-shots-blood-dead-bodies-biden-says-doesnt-know-assassination-attempt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in his weak response<\/a> to addressing the assassination attempt on Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, however, showed his true colors through his immediate reaction to quell his supporters\u2019 frenzy with a very deliberate action that showed enormous composure and strength.<\/p>\n<p>He is the people\u2019s president.<\/p>\n<p>He will do the right thing, set the example, and fight for them to his very last breath. And Saturday\u2019s shooting just evidenced that those aren\u2019t just words to him.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>\u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Former Lt.
