Jason Aldean
Country singer Jason Aldean expressed his support with a heartfelt message. “This is what a Warrior looks like! This is MY guy,” he wrote beneath a photo of a bloodied Trump thrusting his fist in the air at his Pennsylvania rally on Saturday. “[Donald Trump] we are thinking about [you] and praying for you and your family. God has a bigger plan for you, my friend, and I think we all know what that is by now.”
He also extended his sympathies to the victims’ families, adding: “My heart goes out to the victims’ families as well. They are the ones left to pick up the pieces of this cowardly act.”
Kid Rock
Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, took to social media with a defiant message. “You f*** with Trump, you f*** with me,” he said in an Instagram video. He also shared a link to a GoFundMe page for the victims of the shooting, which had raised over $2 million at the time of publication.
John Rich
Country singer John Rich quoted scripture in his message of support. “The angels of the Lord encamp around those who fear Him, and delivers them”. -Psalm 34:7,” he wrote on his X account. “Somewhere, there’s an angel with a bullet hole through his wing. Thank you Lord for protecting DJT.”
Tim Robbins
Actor and director Tim Robbins, known for films like The Shawshank Redemption and Mystic River, condemned comparisons between the assassination attempt on Trump and his satirical film, Bob Roberts.
In a message on X, Robbins wrote: “To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life. Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged mindset.”
His message continued: “A human being was shot yesterday. Another killed. They may not be human beings that you agree with politically but for shame folks. Get over your blind hatred of these people. They are fellow Americans. This collective hatred is killing our souls and consuming whatever is left of our humanity.”
Savannah Chrisley
Reality star Savannah Chrisley showed her support by reposting several Trump-related posts to her Instagram stories. She also shared a photo of Trump being protected by Secret Service agents, captioned: “Willing to give his life.”
