Donald Trump has endorsed a crowdfunding initiative aimed at supporting victims of the tragic shooting incident that occurred during his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night.
During the rally, Trump narrowly escaped serious injury when a bullet from an assault rifle grazed his right ear. His swift evacuation and medical attention by his Secret Service detail prevented further harm. Meanwhile, Secret Service agents quickly neutralized the shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks. Tragically, a man in the crowd, Corey Comperatore, a father of two and a firefighter who was a staunch Trump supporter, lost his life. Two others sustained critical injuries and are currently hospitalized.
In response to the devastating events, a GoFundMe campaign was launched to aid the rally attendees affected by the shooting. The campaign has garnered significant support, raising nearly $2 million as of mid-afternoon Sunday. Contributions have poured in from celebrities, politicians, and concerned citizens alike.
The fundraising effort explicitly states that all donations will be directed to support the victims and their families as they navigate through this difficult time of grief and recovery. The campaign emphasizes unity and national solidarity, giving hope that God will bless and unify the nation during this challenging period.
