Early on Sunday, the White House shared a video marking the one-year anniversary of the failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump — who, at the time, was running for reelection against former President Joe Biden.
The video shared several clips of Trump throughout the years — including a segment with longtime television host Oprah Winfrey in which they discussed his potential future in politics — and one comment that has resonated through many areas of his life: “Donald Trump seems to always get stronger with challenges.”
“One year ago today, an assassin opened fire on President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania,” the caption read. “The bullet hit—but by the grace of God, he stood up. Bloodied. Unbowed. And he fought harder. July 13th is a reminder: we fight, we win, AND WE NEVER SURRENDER.”
That was what the people saw on July 13, 2024, when shots rang out during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — and then everyone saw then-candidate Donald Trump go down. But within seconds, it seemed, he was back on his feet. His hand was raised in a fist as Secret Service agents swarmed him, surrounding him and attempting to keep his head down.
“Fight! Fight! Fight!” Trump could be seen shouting as he was practically carried from the stage, his face and shirt bloodied from the attack.
Just days later, his ear bandaged to cover up the damage done in the shooting, Trump was back in the arena at the Republican National Convention — and by then it was the crowd shouting back at him, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
