The world is still in shock over the assassination attempt on Donald Trump that took place on Saturday. This marked the first assassination attempt on a current or former president’s life in over forty years.
In the wake of this tragedy, celebrities have been rallying around trump like never before. For years, it has been considered taboo in the radically liberal entertainment industry to support Trump in any way. This has led to celebrities who may privately hold conservative views oftentimes staying quiet publicly about their pro-Trump opinions.
This shooting, however, appears to have changed that. It’s been the wakeup call that many of these celebrities needed to finally speak out in support of this iconic former president. We’ve compiled some of the best celebrities who have praised Trump in the days since he was shot in the ear by a wannabe assassin.
From Fox News:
Jason Aldean“This is what a Warrior looks like! This is MY guy,” country singer Jason Aldean wrote beneath a photo of a bloodied Trump thrusting his fist in the air at his Pennsylvania rally on Saturday. “[Donald Trump] we are thinking about [you] and praying for you and your family. God has a bigger plan for you my friend and I think we all know what that is by now.”
He added, “My heart goes out to the victims families as well. They are the ones left to pick up the pieces of this cowardly act.”
Tim Robbins
“To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life. Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged mindset. A human being was shot yesterday. Another killed. They may not be human beings that you agree with politically but for shame folks. Get over your blind hatred of these people. They are fellow Americans. This collective hatred is killing our souls and consuming whatever is left of our humanity,” he wrote to X.
Robbins’ comments were particularly surprising, given the fact that he is a known liberal. His remarks show that this is no longer about partisan political lines. Americans everywhere should be coming together to condemn this violence against a former president.
Other Celebrities Support Trump After Shooting
Other celebrities who have spoken out to support Trump in the wake of his shooting include the country music stars John Rich and George Strait. The rapper 50 Cent, the model Amber Rose, and the reality TV star Savannah Chrisley are three additional celebrities who have leapt to Trump’s defense.
And who can forget Kid Rock? He had some choice words after Trump’s assassination attempt:
“You f– with Trump, you f— with me,” Kid Rock said in video shared on his social media. The singer, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, also shared a link to a GoFundMe page for victims of the shooting, which at the time of publication had raised over $2 million.
The rhetoric from the left and the mainstream media about Trump and his supporters has divided our country like never before. It’s hard not to believe that this at least partly led to the attempt on Trump’s life over the weekend.
The first assassination attempt on a current or former president in decades shows once and for all that this has all gone way too far. We applaud these celebrities for doing their part to bring America back together. Enough is enough: it’s time for America to unify behind Trump when he needs our support the most.
