A stolen election. An FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Countless investigations. Four federal indictments. A show trial and phony conviction. And now an assassination attempt on his life.
And despite all that, Donald Trump remains standing. Stronger than ever.
As he was escorted off that rally stage on Saturday, he was telling Americans to “Fight! Fight!” His platform this election is a vision for national renewal: to Make America Great Again. He pledged just hours after the attempt on his life to never surrender, no matter what. He has put his life and fortune on the line and has persisted in weathering the storm for nearly ten whole years of relentless witch-hunts – and he has done so the entire time with a smile on the face, knowing it is all for the American people.
Our generation does not deserve him. But he has made these sacrifices anyway for the greater good of the country. At 78, he could easily retire and enjoy the rest of his days in peace and quiet. He has worked so hard for decades, building a massive private fortune worth billions of dollars, before he ever stepped foot in the political arena. He certainly did not need to do this – nor did he need to run a second time, after having already a very successful presidency.
And yet, he continues to march onward. He does this for us — they are not after him, they are after we, the people. He is the one standing in the way.
He is a man of destiny, and is well-aware of his place in history, and his monumental role in preserving American freedom. George Washington was said to have been invincible in the line of battle, regularly parading on his white horse through enemy fire, a suicidal maneuver if he did not have the Armor of God protecting him.
President Trump similarly is guided by Divine Providence, equipped with the Armor of God. As many noted, history could have been forever changed if Trump had just tilted his head an inch or so more. That he didn’t, only to suffer a grazing of the ear, rather than a direct hit, is a miracle. And the ultimate telltale that God has greater plans for him.
The aftermath of yesterday’s attempt on President Trump’s life should cement his victory. Already so many people who were still on the fence, like Elon Musk, have officially pronounced their full-throated support for President Trump.
More so than even the mugshot, the visual of President Trump’s bloodied face as he was forced onto the ground by secret service agents will be immortalized for all time. That he proceeded to then get up, raise his fist in the air, and encourage his supporters to keep fighting was a display of resilience that has absolutely no parallel.
The lionhearted spirit of Donald Trump, his legend, only grows more with each passing day. That he survived, and that the nefarious forces vying to bring him down failed in this attempt, brings him to even greater heights. He was built differently and built for these times, and is an example for the rest of us who seek to keep the torch of the movement he singlehandedly began, the last great hope for America, alive for generations to come.
If there is any takeaway from yesterday’s horrific scene, let it be to fight harder; to ensure that President Trump gets the landslide victory he deserves in November. Do what you can to register just one more voter, make one more phone call, put up one more lawn sign to show support for the soon-to-be 47th President.
With less than four months to go, MAGA must be louder than ever. We must make our voices heard, our battle cry undeniable – so that come November, victory will be inevitable. Let President Trump’s example be a source of inspiration for us all. And let us never forget those words: Fight, Fight.

Greatest president since George Washington. God bless and save President Donald J. Trump.
We are MAGA! Please explain when it became comparable to diabolical killers to love our country and our flag and desire to love our own country before others?!!! The disgusting rhetoric, calling him HITLER, RACIST, RAPIST, FELON, and A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY ALL caused this to happen! Every Democrat, starting with Joe Biden, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, , the Squad, and more are ALL guilty of this happening and I pray the American people see this and FIRE ALL OF THEM!!!! GOD PLEASE PROTECT PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!
In the meantime Jan 6 “insurgents rot in jail Biden Waters and co condoning and encouraging violence against those who happen not to agree with their agenda Those are the ones that belong behind bars Until law and order is restored this can only get worse Shooter is dead and will not talk Thank God Trump is OK
It has the indication of God intervening — and the message should be very clear. — it could be a reminder of how much intelligent thought is needed. in this Country, and around the world as well. Intelligent thought can be the same as having respect for truth. Doing things that have a noble purpose. Keeping the will of God in mind and practicing the qualities that make for good character will help. This is a very good article by Paul Ingrassia , and it is appreciated.
Thank God that the bullet missed Trump’s brain! He is wearing the Armor of God! Trump will be the President in November. Let the investigations of the Secret Service begin and may heads roll!
Mr Trump is our only hope, let’s put him where he belongs: IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS OUR LIDER.
God Bless Donald Trump.
We still have to defeat the voting cheating by the DEMOCRAPS!
MAGA
Again
TRUMP 2024
This is completely inexcusable!
I only watched the Max News video of the shooting and all I could think of was a newer version of the “KEYSTONE COP SHOW” —since I am 81 yr young & used to watch those old movies. GOD BLESS TRUMP & ALL! 7/15/2024
What could turn out not to be so good for the USA is if Biden wins & has either G Newsom or the 2 Obama run with him as the VP — then the USA might be in a real pickle, because Biden would step down one of those 3 could step up as the US Pres.
Face fact there was no way Biden took the Pres. It was an election with more votes than any other person in US History unless so many weird ballots were counted.
OMHO of course. 7/15/2024
MAGA
What exactly is MAGA? Seems to me, it is a population making up at least half of what was a great country. A population labeled as a deplorables, by a very deplorable politician embed with the non-Mega population. Anti heavy waited power brokers and what has to be called users have lost stock of true integrity. Those within a questionable body users sling arrows at MEGA want total control of a once decent country. MEGA fans are decent people who contribute likely completely outside of the power clan. The are farmers, truck drivers, hard labor workers, family-oriented and un-deplorable average Americans of all ethnicities who bought into their country a hugely strong work ethic and a broadly earned acceptance of fellow citizens. It took an absolute ton of indifference from the elites to bring them to their battle against making America great once more. It took, the current counter-populations eye entirely off what is right and what is wrong. Power had the upper hand and with that power knocked a once great country off it’s axis. But not those named MAGA. The power brokers have slipped up by underestimating integrity. The public took stock of exactly who and what is deplorable and who and what make up the real deplorables.
