Donald Trump was shot at his Pennsylvania rally.
“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” the father-of-five, who was wounded on his left ear by the gunshot, began.

Donald Trump is the top republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election.
“Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed,” he added, referencing the one fallen victim from the attack and the two individuals injured. “In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.”

Donald Trump was only injured in his left ear.
As OK! previously reported, just hours after the ex-commander-in-chief was shot, he penned another statement while being treated for his wound in the hospital.
"I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania," he wrote on Truth Social last night.

"Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured," Trump added. "It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country."
The Republican continued: "Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”
