WWE legend The Rock recently shared his thoughts on former President Donald Trump surviving following an assassination attempt in July.
On July 13, Trump, the Republican Party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election, survived an assassination attempt during an open-air campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. The incident led to a couple of spectators passing away and left several others injured. Among the deceased was the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who carried out the attack. Despite the violence and chaos, Trump survived but injured his ear.
While appearing recent at The Vault conference, The Rock spoke about the incident. He opened up on Trump, while touching on that fateful day in Pennsylvania where he narrowly escaped disaster.
“Trump, he used to come see me wrestle all the time at Madison Square Garden. It was great. The first time I saw him, he said, ‘Let me see the [People’s] Eyebrow.’ “
“Whether you love Donald or you don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him, there’s no room for that, and despite who we were in that moment, I believe in my core that is not who we are as a country. So, him standing up in that moment, we wanted to see that.”
The Rock was referring to the iconic image of Donald Trump with his fist raised high and a bloody ear, as Secret Service officers tried to protect him.
