Donald Trump, Fighter

July 13th is right around the corner, and it's the 1st anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump at his Butler, PA rally.  We've heard very little since then, until this news about the Secret Service.

We did of course hear how the near-assassination was "staged", "a hoax", just a scratch, and too many people, including those in the media, made fun of the attack, downplayed it, or dismissed it entirely.

If he hadn't turned his head to look at the screen, the outcome would have been fatal. Is that what some Americans actually prefer? 

Nobody bothered to talk about his courage under fire, his aplomb and defiance when he fought to stay upright shouting "Fight, fight, fight!" to reassure the shocked crowd that he wasn't dead. 

And firefighter Corey Comperatore, who died protecting his family from a bullet, and the other two rallygoers who were shot and wounded, are barely mentioned any more, nor is the shooter himself.

The obsessive hatred for Donald Trump has overridden everything else, and all the Democrats and their radical supporters can do is advocate for more violence in their quest to stop Trump. 

What revelations, if any, will this July 13th bring?

CBS News 7/10/25:  

"Secret Service suspended 6 personnel without pay or benefits after Trump assassination attempt."

"Washington — The Secret Service suspended six personnel without pay as the agency faced intense scrutiny after the assassination attempt against President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, nearly a year ago. 

"Matt Quinn, Secret Service deputy director, told CBS News that their penalty ranged from 10 to 42 days of leave without pay or benefits. The personnel were placed into restricted duty or roles with less operational responsibility upon their return. 

"We are laser-focused on fixing the root cause of the problem," said Quinn, who defended the agency's decision not to dismiss anyone after the security failure on July 13, 2024, in which a gunman opened fire during a campaign rally and a bullet grazed Mr. Trump's ear. One person was killed and two others were wounded while the alleged gunman, Thomas Crooks, was killed by a Secret Service sniper. 

"We aren't going to fire our way out of this," Quinn said in an interview Wednesday. "We're going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation." 

"Secret Service is totally accountable for Butler," he said. "Butler was an operational failure and we are focused today on ensuring that it never happens again."
