President Trump receives flood of surprising endorsements after shooting—one group is particularly interesting…

President Trump’s heroic response to the assassination attempt left many Americans in awe and created a wave of support. Following the incident, Trump received a flood of high-profile endorsements, including Elon Musk, Jake Paul, and Jim Caviezel.

Of course, the biggest name to step forward is Elon Musk. Right after the assassination attempt, he was quick to throw his full support behind President Trump.

NBC News: 

Elon Musk posted on X that he “fully” endorses Donald Trump moments after the former president and presumptive Republican nominee was rushed off stage by secret service members following gunshots at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote on X, which he owns.

But Elon’s not the only big name coming out to support Trump. Speaking of billionaires, Bill Ackman, who has been flirting with a Trump endorsement for months, also came out of the Trump closet.

Reuters:

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman endorsed U.S. former President Donald Trump on Saturday in the Republican’s rematch race against President Joe Biden, shortly after Trump was shot in the ear at a campaign rally.

“I am going to formally endorse @realDonaldTrump,” Ackman posted on social media platform X. “I assure you that I have made this decision carefully, rationally, and by relying on as much empirical data as possible”.

Ackman followed Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who endorsed Trump and expressed “hope for his rapid recovery” from the shooting, in which Trump was hit in the upper right ear but said by his campaign to be doing fine.

Ackman’s endorsement marks a change from 2021. After the attack by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Ackman posted that Trump should “resign and apologize to all Americans.”

It looks like Ackman figured out the J6 “insurrection” narrative was a fraud.

Good for him—and us.

What Trump has to do is thank these people, Musk, in particular.

But then he should say that they really aren’t endorsing Trump as much as they want Trump to win, in order to get control of Democrat Political Violence as this country cannot survive in its present form when political violence, lethal violence, becomes the norm.

just now pushing back strongly against Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi’s attempts to discredit his sources — which Waltz says are special agents — on the contention that the extra resources were requested for Trump and the rally in Butler that day — and were denied by USSS management.

Waltz said Gugliemi is contradicting his own agents.

The same is true for my reporting over the last 48 hours.

“I give nothing but credit for his those in the detail..[who] put their lives on the line,” Waltz said. “I suspect strongly this was a headquarters resources issue, who said we’re not going to get all these agents for all of his rallies. We’re not going to exhaust our budget.”

Waltz also lashed out at Biden and Cheatle for Cheatle’s failure to either be fired or resign from her role.

“[There was] no accountability for Afghanistan, no accountability for the Defense Secretary disappearing, and no accountability for this.”

It's not - Musk will be giving $45M each month leading up to the election to "America PAC", a political action committee backing Trump. The money is earmarked for voter registration, early voting and mail-in ballots - in other words, the kind of stuff Democrats have been doing for years while the Republicans stand around doing nothing.

Or better yet, by US Marines: I was detailed as a sniper to a post on a building roof to cover LBJ when he addressed the 26th Marines as they were being deployed to Vietnam in early 1968. I was just released from the hospital and still had my steel full-length leg brace on.

I was armed with my M-14 and nobody would have gotten past me!

Perhaps the rest of the African Americans will join him.

Awesome story!

And, for sure! If there had been a squad of marines at the rally, the lowliest private would have said........”hey, what about that rooftop over there?”

7,800 people and a 4 billion budget and they can’t spare another dozen or so SS guys! (not gals!)

Hell, many of us would have volunteered to get on the damn roof!

"“I assure you that I have made this decision carefully, rationally, and by relying on as much empirical data as possible”."

If you are gouing to endorse - endorse. None of this defensiveness "I know its Trump and all but I have really studied this ... and believe it or not I support him ..."

“[There was] no accountability for Afghanistan, no accountability for the Defense Secretary disappearing, and no accountability for this.”

The 'no accountability' list is a very very long one when it comes to this regime full of assholes. They almost make Obama's terrible regime look honorable.
