Donald Trump Jr. described the “scary” moments he experienced when he learned of the assassination attempt on his father, former President Donald Trump, during a campaign rally on Saturday evening.
During an interview on the “Joe Pags Show”, Trump Jr. revealed that he had been spending some time with his children before the Republican convention when he received a call about the incident. “I was with my children when I got a call, and no one really had any information. And I didn’t know what was going on,” he said.
The younger Trump also shared that the moments after the initial reports were “pretty scary times” as they were all waiting to hear news about his father’s condition.
However, Trump Jr. went on to reveal that his father was doing well after the incident and even had a typical Trump response to the situation. “He’s doing great. You know it was funny in sort of, you know, true Trump fashion. I mean, we get on the phone and I just like, ‘Hey man, you are a serious badass.’ I mean, that photo was, you know, so iconic, and we sort of, you know, laughed about that,” Trump Jr. said.
He also highlighted his father’s resilience, saying that “Trump’s always going to be Trump” and that he won’t let this incident deter him from continuing to fight for what he believes in.
Trump Jr. also took aim at the Democrats and their constant attacks on his father. “They’ve tried to bankrupt him, they’ve tried to jail him,” he said, referring to the numerous investigations and lawsuits targeting the former president.
“They wanted to remove his Secret Service detail, members of Democrats in Congress want to remove the Secret Service protections, while calling someone a fascist and a dictator and every other name in the book and [calling him] the greatest threat to democracy in the history of the world. I mean, I don’t know, seems like they’ve been calling for this for quite some time,” Trump Jr. added.
The former president’s son also pointed out that this was not the first time his father has faced an assassination attempt, referencing a 2016 incident in which a man attempted to take a police officer’s gun at a campaign rally in Las Vegas.
In the wake of the assassination attempt, Trump Jr. expressed his unwavering support for his father and his beliefs, saying that the incident only further proves the lengths that his father’s opponents will go to in order to take him down.
In the face of this attack and the constant barrage of attacks from the left, President Trump remains strong and continues to fight for his beliefs and for the American people. As his son so aptly described, he is a “serious badass” who will not be intimidated or silenced by those who seek to harm him. Let this be a reminder to all of us that we must stand by our president and continue to support him in his fight for a better America.
