Former President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, has issued a statement thanking everyone for their “love and prayers” for her father after gunshots erupted at his rally in Pennsylvania. The former president took the stage when the shots were heard, and images showed him with blood coming from his ear and on the side of his face as he was surrounded by Secret Service agents.
Ivanka thanked the public for their support, expressing gratitude to the Secret Service and all other law enforcement officers for their quick and decisive actions during the incident. She continued praying for her father and the country, stating that she loves him “today and always.” The statement came after Trump released a statement on Truth Social revealing that he had been “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear.
In response to the violence, Ivanka expressed her love for her father and extended condolences to the family of the person killed at the rally and another person who was seriously injured. The former president also thanked the United States Secret Service and all law enforcement for their rapid response during the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The incident underscores the ongoing risks faced by political figures, highlighting the importance of strong security measures to protect them from potential harm. The swift action taken by the Secret Service and other law enforcement officers at the scene undoubtedly played a crucial role in minimizing the damage caused by this violent act.
