Former President Donald J. Trump‘s eldest grandchild, 17-year-old Kai Madison Trump, shared a touching tribute to her grandfather at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee on Wednesday, saying she wanted to “share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see.”
Introduced by her father, Donald Trump Jr., Kai described the former president as a doting and involved grandfather who “gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking,” takes pride in her school achievements, and regularly calls and plays golf with her.
“On Saturday, I was shocked when I heard that he has been shot, and I just wanted to know if he was OK. It was heartbreaking that someone would do that to another person,” she said.
“A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell, and he’s still standing,” she continued, earning cheers from the crowd.
“Grandpa, you are such an inspiration, and I love you,” she added.
“The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know who he is. He’s very caring and loving; he truly wants the best for this country, and he will fight every single day to make America great again.”

United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle was lambasted by a group of Republican United States Senators as she walked through the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Wednesday. The Senators demanded answers and transparency regarding the security failures that led to Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump.
“This was an assassination attempt! You owe the people answers. You owe President Trump answers,” shouted Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as she and others kept stride with Cheatle through the convention concourse. Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), meanwhile, accused the USSS director of “stonewalling.”
Sens. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and James Lankford (R-OK) were also among the scrum following Cheatle as she made her way to a suite occupied by the USSS. Cheatle was in Milwaukee ostensibly to oversee security arrangements following last week’s attempted assassination, though some speculate her presence was little more than an attempt to save face.
According to Sen. Blackburn, Cheatle “…would not answer our questions and wanted to say it was not the time nor place.”
The Tennessee Republican added: “This is after we’ve been through a conference call today. … She can run, but she cannot hide because the American people want to know how an assassination attempt was carried out on former President Donald Trump.”
In response to the senators’ questions, the USSS released a statement insisting that Cheatle and the agency are committed to transparency and cooperation in the ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt. The agency also reiterated that Cheatle has no intention of stepping down as director.

Former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, has vowed to stand up for Americans “cast aside and forgotten by America’s ruling class” at the Republican National Convention, recalling his own humble beginnings in Middletown, Ohio.
Vance began his speech by praising former President Trump as someone who “chose to endure abuse, slander, and persecution” despite being a successful businessman who already had “everything anyone could ever want in a life.”
“I want all Americans to watch the video of a would-be assassin coming a quarter of an inch from taking his life. Consider the lies they told you about Donald Trump. And then look at that photo of him defiant — fist in the air,” he said. “When Donald Trump rose to his feet in that Pennsylvania field—all of America stood with him. And what did he call for us to do for his country? To fight. To fight for America.”
He also paid tribute to “the brave Corey Comperatore, who gave his life to protect his family” during the assassination attempt.
UPBRINGING.
Coming around to his own background, the former U.S. Marine described how policies supported by Joe Biden had sent working-class jobs overseas, flooded the country with cheap foreign goods, and sent people to their deaths in ill-conceived wars.
“[A]t each step of the way, in small towns like mine in Ohio, or next door in Pennsylvania or Michigan, in other states across our country, jobs were sent overseas, and our children were sent to war,” Vance said.
“And somehow, a real estate developer from New York City by the name of Donald J. Trump was right on all of these issues while Biden was wrong,” he said. “President Trump knew, even then, that we needed leaders who would put America first.”
He credited his own American Dream story in large part to his “tough as nails” Mamaw, who acted as his “guardian angel” while jobs went out of his community and “deadly Chinesefentanyl” came in.
THE FUTURE.
Senator Vance said Trump‘s vision for America is “so simple and yet so powerful,” with an America First government catering not to Wall Street but to “the working man.”
“We’re done importing foreign labor; we’re going to fight for American citizens and their good jobs and their good wages,” he vowed.
“We’re done buying energy from countries that hate us; we’re going to get it right here, from American workers in Pennsylvania and Ohio and across the country,” he continued, adding: “We’re going to build factories again, put people to work making real products for American families, made with the hands of American workers”—and stop the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from “building their middle class on the backs of American citizens.”
“We will, in short, make America great again!”

Joe Biden has gone into hiding as Democrat donors and lawmakers increase the pressure on him to exit the 2024 presidential race, saying he has COVID-19 and needs to isolate. “I tested positive for COVID-19 this afternoon, but I am feeling good and thank everyone for the well wishes,” the 81-year-old said in a statement posted to social media. “I will be isolating as I recover, and during this time I will continue to work to get the job done for the American people.”
Biden’s latest bout of ill-health—his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald J. Trump was blamed on a cold—is eliciting little sympathy from either his critics or former allies. Many of the former are circulating previous false statements from the elderly Democrat claiming people were “not going to get Covid if they have… vaccinations” and that the Chinese coronavirus pandemic was “a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Former allies in the corporate media, meanwhile, have contrasted Biden isolating himself as his candidacy is in crisis with Donald Trump’s show of strength at the Republican National Convention days after being shot by a would-be assassin.
“A bullet couldn’t stop Trump. A virus just stopped Biden. You got the nominees of [the Republican] party getting their butts kissed; Biden’s getting his butt kicked by his own party,” lamented CNN’s Van Jones.
“The Democrats are coming apart; the Republicans are coming together.”

Comperatore was among those supporting Trump at a campaign rally when gunfire erupted from a nearby rooftop. The shooter grazed Trump’s right ear while fatally injuring Comperatore and severely wounding two others. The assailant, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was subsequently killed.
Responding to inquiries about Trump‘s attendance at Comperatore’s funeral, a source close to the former President affirmed, “Of course he is.”
Earlier this week, Trump personally reached out to Comperatore’s wife to offer his condolences. Helen Comperatore shared on Facebook that Trump was compassionate during their conversation and assured her of continued support in the coming days.
Comperatore, a father of two, was the fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company in Sarver, Pennsylvania. He died while shielding his wife and daughter from Crooks’s gunfire. Since his tragic death, a GoFundMe launched for Comperatore’s wife has garnered over $1.2 million in donations.
The private funeral service is scheduled to take place Thursday, marking a somber occasion as family, friends, and community members gather to honor Comperatore’s life and sacrifice. Since the shooting, many have criticized the United States Secret Service (USSS), but despite admitting failures, the head of the agency, Kimberly Cheatle, has ruled out resigning.
She claims the slightly sloped roof of the building where the shooter took his shots was deemed too risky to post agents. Several law enforcement sources across Pennsylvania contradicted Director Cheatle, and said they had observed Crooks at least 26 minutes prior to the shooting and sent the information up the command chain.

A new survey shows an overwhelming number of voters say that Joe Biden and the Democrats’ rhetoric is responsible for the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennslyvania, on Saturday. According to Rassmussen Reports, 61 percent of Likely Voters believe that the Biden campaign framing Trump as “an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs” directly led to the shooting.
Even among Democrats, a near-majority believe the Biden campaign’s use of extreme rhetoric attacking Trump led to the assassination attempt. According to the data, 46 percent of registered Democrats say the Biden campaign’s attacks inspired the shooting.
While older voters were the least likely to blame Biden for the attack on Trump—which resulted in the death of rallygoer Corey Comperatore—all age demographics still overwhelming said the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent’s rhetoric was responsible. Among respondents between the ages of 18 and 39, 62 percent said Biden was responsible.
Meanwhile, 61 percent of the 40- to 64-year-old cohort said Biden and the Democrats were responsible. For respondents above the age of 65, an additional 59 percent said Biden and the Democrats were responsible.
The data does show a split between men and women, with 65 percent of men saying the violent rhetoric employed by Democrats inspired the assassination attempt. Conversely, 57 percent of women agreed.
While the 81-year-old Biden promised to tamp down his campaign’s rhetoric, that appears to have been short-lived. He doubled down on Monday during an interview with NBC News‘s Lester Holt, claiming former President Trump is a threat to democracy. On Tuesday, Biden again accused Trump of being a would-be dictator while speaking with the NAACP in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Federal agents became aware in recent weeks that the Islamic Republic of Iran is plotting an assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says they have received human-sourced intelligence regarding the plot—allegedly increasing Trump’s security detail.
However, any changes to the security situation involving Trump did not appear to deter would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, who fired several shots at the former president on Saturday, striking him in the ear and killing hero rallygoer Corey Comperatore while he shielded his family.
At the moment, it is not believed that Crooks and the Iranian plot against Trump’s life are connected.
Iran’s plot against Trump stems from his order in September 2020 to target one of the Islamic state’s top military commanders, Qassem Soleimani, in a drone strike. Soleimani was tied to numerous attacks by Iranian proxies against American soldiers—and believed to be the nexus of Iranian terror activities. Soleimani was killed in the strike, prompting the Iranians to declare him a martyr and swear revenge.
The existence of the Iranassassination plot raises even more questions regarding the security lapses and apparent lack of resources for Trump‘s United States Secret Service (USSS) detail at last Saturday’s rally. Video evidence shows rallygoers attempting to draw the attention of law enforcement to the gunman for several minutes before he opened fire.
Additional reports suggest that law enforcement had identified the would-be assassin as a suspicious person of interest upwards of half an hour before the shooting occurred.
According to the USSS, the rooftop—an elevated position just 400 feet away from where former President Trump was speaking—from which the attack was carried out was a high-priority location of concern. Despite this, no agents were stationed on the roof.

Law enforcement sources across “multiple counties” in Pennsylvania are contradicting United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle’s account of the events leading up to the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump on Saturday. Specifically, they are refuting her claims that there were police inside the building from which the would-be assassin opened fire.
Cheatle has said assets were not posted on the building due to its “sloped roof,” and “the decision was made to secure the building from inside.”
Channel 11’s Nicole Ford reports local police took photographs of the sniper, Thomas Matthew Crooks, “at least” 26 minutes before he attempted to assassinate Trump and that these were “sent up the command chain.” Sources told Ford that Crooks was also “spotted by police with a range finder.”
Ford’s sources say Crooks did not climb the roof until after Trump began his speech and that he was on top of the building for “fewer than seven minutes” before being confronted by a local police officer.
Serious questions have been raised about the USSS security failures that allowed Crooks to open fire on Trump, striking his ear and three rallygoers, one of whom was killed. Cheatle has said “the buck stops with me” but she has not offered her resignation.

Hollywood actor and musician Jack Black announced the remainder of his band Tenacious D’s tour would be put on hold after his friend and sidekick Kyle Gass appeared to celebrate the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump during a concert in Australia on Sunday night. In a video from the event, Gass declares, “Don’t miss Trump next time,” while blowing out candles on a cake to celebrate his birthday.
“I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” Black said in a statement following the incident. The Joe Biden supporter added: “After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”
Gass’s horrendous comment appears to have been in response to Black stating he should make a wish as he blew out the candles. The remark came just 24 hours after former President Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet while holding a rally in Pennsylvania.
Rallygoer Corey Comperatore was killed by the gunfire when he leaped on his family to protect them from the bullets. Two other Trump supporters were seriously injured.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has apologized after his son, Bobby Kennedy III, leaked a recording of him speaking to Donald Trump. The former president discusses childhood vaccinations with RFK Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic.
“I am a firm believer that these sorts of conversations should be had in public. Here’s Trump giving his real opinion to my dad about vaccinating kids — this was the day after the assassination attempt,” Bobby III wrote in a now-deleted social media post sharing his video of the call.
President Trump describes his conversation with Joe Biden after his shooting, how the bullet that struck him felt like “the world’s largest mosquito,” and how turning to reference a chart showing illegalimmigration numbers saved his life.
Trump also discusses childhood vaccinations and his concerns about babies “starting to change radically” after receiving high-dose inoculations for multiple illnesses at once. He seems to suggest that RFK Jr. could have a role looking into the issue under a second Trump administration.
“When President Trump called me I was taping with an in-house videographer. I should have ordered the videographer to stop recording immediately,” RFK Jr. said in a statement on the leak.
He claims he is “mortified that this was posted,” adding, “I apologize to the president.”

Trump has expressed skepticism of childhood vaccinations in the past. He famously tweeted in 2014, “Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!”
He was interrogated on these concerns during the GOP contest for the 2016 nomination. He made some of the same comments as he made to RFK Jr. on the debate stage.
“I am totally in favor of vaccines, but I want smaller doses over a longer period of time,” he said in a 2015 debate.
“Because you take a baby in—and I’ve seen it… You take this little beautiful baby, and you pump—I mean, it looks just like it’s meant for a horse, not for a child. And we’ve had so many instances, people that work for me. Just the other day, two years old, two-and-a-half years old, a child, a beautiful child, went to have the vaccine, and came back. And a week later got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic.”
