In a horrifying development over the weekend, another person tried to take Trump’s life. And no one knew what happened.
But a new photo of Trump has emerged after the attempt and the American people are shocked.
In the face of yet another assassination attempt, Donald Trump has proven his resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to the American people.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) proudly stood by Trump’s side, sharing a photo of himself and his wife Kelly alongside the former president, both smiling and giving a thumbs up. The image was posted to X (formerly Twitter) after a harrowing day when Trump survived what appears to have been an attempted assassination at his West Palm Beach golf club.

In his post, Johnson thanked God for protecting Trump, writing, “No leader in American history has endured more attacks and remained so strong and resilient. He is unstoppable.” Johnson’s words resonated deeply with Trump supporters across the country, who see the former president as a man constantly under siege but always standing tall, ready to fight for the future of America.
On Sunday afternoon, Trump’s campaign announced that the former president was “safe following gunshots in his vicinity” at Trump International Golf Club. According to authorities, the Secret Service opened fire on a man who was brandishing a rifle near Trump’s position on the golf course.
The suspect, identified later as a Democrat donor with a criminal history, reportedly poked the muzzle of the rifle through a fence surrounding the club. Fortunately, the quick response of the Secret Service averted what could have been a devastating tragedy.
The suspect fled the scene after exchanging fire with law enforcement, but thanks to witness reports and swift police action, he was apprehended shortly after. The FBI confirmed that it was investigating the incident as an “attempted assassination” of the former president.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Trump remained defiant, releasing a statement to his supporters: “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.”
These words reflect the strength and resolve that have become synonymous with Donald Trump, a man who refuses to bow to the forces seeking to bring him down.
Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to stand alongside Trump in the aftermath of this latest attack is not just a symbolic gesture; it is a powerful statement of unity within the Republican Party and a testament to the deep respect many conservative leaders have for the former president.
Johnson, a staunch supporter of Trump and his America First policies, has often spoken about the unprecedented challenges Trump has faced both during his presidency and in the years since.
In his post, Johnson wrote, “We just spent a few hours with President Trump and are thanking God for protecting him today—once again.” Johnson’s sentiments reflect the deep concern many Americans have for Trump’s safety, especially given the increasing frequency of attacks aimed at the former president. From violent rhetoric to physical assaults, Trump has been targeted more than any other political leader in modern American history.
But as Johnson noted, Trump’s resilience is unmatched. “No leader in American history has endured more attacks and remained so strong and resilient,” Johnson declared. “He is unstoppable.” These words echo the sentiments of millions of Americans who view Trump as a fighter, a man willing to endure whatever it takes to continue his mission of making America great again.
This latest assassination attempt is not an isolated incident. It marks the second attempt on Trump’s life in just a few short months. In mid-July, Trump survived another violent attack while speaking at an outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
During that incident, a shooter opened fire on Trump from a rooftop, striking him in the right ear. Despite being hit, Trump raised his fist in defiance, a powerful gesture that embodied his unbreakable spirit.
Tragically, one rallygoer, 50-year-old fireman Corey Comperatore, lost his life during the attack, and two others were wounded. The gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service snipers.
While the gunman’s motivations remain unclear, the attack has raised serious questions about security at political events and the increasing willingness of radical individuals to use violence as a means of silencing political opponents.
In the aftermath of the Pennsylvania shooting, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned, facing significant backlash for the security failures that allowed the attack to take place. Multiple investigations, including one led by a bipartisan task force in the House, were launched to identify the causes of these failures and ensure that similar incidents never happen again.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) released a joint statement expressing confidence in the task force’s ability to “move quickly to find the facts, ensure accountability, and help make certain such failures never happen again.”
While both parties seem to agree on the need for better security measures, the fact remains that Donald Trump continues to face an alarming level of violence and hostility, unlike any other political figure in modern history.
One of the most disturbing aspects of these repeated assassination attempts is the relative silence from the mainstream media. When similar threats are made against Democratic leaders, the media is quick to condemn the violence and call for unity. However, when it comes to Donald Trump, there is often a deafening silence or, worse yet, a dismissal of the seriousness of these threats.
In this most recent incident, CNN’s Juliette Kayyem lamented not the attack on Trump’s life but the potential political advantage it might give him. Rather than focus on the gravity of an attempted assassination, Kayyem framed the situation as a “problem” because of how it could impact the upcoming election. This kind of rhetoric is not only irresponsible but also indicative of a troubling double standard that exists within the media.
Violence against any political figure should be condemned, regardless of their party affiliation. The fact that Donald Trump has been targeted multiple times and yet continues to receive only lukewarm concern from the media is a testament to the deep-seated bias that exists in the press.
Despite the attempts on his life, Donald Trump remains as defiant as ever. His message to his supporters—“Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!”—is a rallying cry for those who believe in his vision for America. Trump’s refusal to be cowed by violence, whether it be from radical individuals or from a biased media, has only strengthened his resolve to continue his fight for the American people.
In a time when political violence is on the rise and the divide between the Left and the Right seems wider than ever, Trump’s message of unity, peace, and strength is more important than ever. He stands as a symbol of resilience, not just for his supporters, but for the entire nation. As Speaker Mike Johnson so aptly put it, “He is unstoppable.”
Donald Trump’s ability to withstand repeated attacks—both physical and political—speaks to his unique place in American history. No other leader has faced such relentless opposition and yet remained so committed to his cause. The attempted assassination at his West Palm Beach golf club is a stark reminder of the dangers he continues to face. But as Trump has shown time and time again, he will not back down.
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s show of solidarity with Trump underscores the unity within the Republican Party and the determination to protect a leader who has done more for this country than any politician in recent memory. As the investigations continue and the facts come to light, one thing is clear: Donald Trump is a fighter, and he will not be stopped.
