GoFundMe For Victims Of Trump Assassination Attempt Raises Big Money

Published|Updated

A GoFundMe in support of the victims of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump has raised serious money.

The Republican leader survived an assassination attempt during a Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania when Thomas Matthew Crooks fired multiple shots at him before being killed.

The former President and current 2024 election favorite was struck in the ear region of his head and was eventually evacuated off the stage.

Millions raised for victims of assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

While Trump survived the shooting, one person was killed and two others were wounded during the carnage. Local firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed shielding his family from the gunfire and the two wounded men were in stable condition as of Sunday.

A GoFundMe supported by Trump was set up over the weekend to support the victims, and it's raised more than $3.6 million as of publication.

The fundraiser has also received support from multiple notable people and organizations. Below are some of the top donations:

  • The Heritage Foundation - $50,000
  • The UFC - $50,000
  • Dana White $50,000
  • Kid Rock - $50,000
  • Vivek Ramaswamy - $30,000

What happened Saturday in Butler, PA was a horrific reminder of the evil that exists on this planet, and it's a miracle Trump is still alive. Half an inch closer to his head and the world we're living in today would be much different.

However, it's in the darkest moments that we're often reminded of the greatness in people. Strangers are uniting to raise serious money for all the victims of the failed assassination attempt. Americans have a tendency to put our issues aside when tragedy strikes, and we're also incredibly generous people.

There are families who have been changed forever. A heroic father and husband is gone and two other men are wounded. Now, people are rushing in to help financially.

There's no amount of money that will heal the emotional and mental wounds suffered by the victims and their families. However, the money might be able to get them through a very tough time, and it's awesome to see Americans come together to help strangers. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
