Donald Trump’s survival of an assassination attempt shocked the nation.
The mainstream media has been downplaying the truth ever since.
But a reporter just brought Glenn Beck to tears revealing what Donald Trump shouted before his iconic ‘Fight, fight, fight!’ moment at Butler.
Reporter Salena Zito uncovers Trump’s first words after the shooting
When an assassin’s bullet grazed Donald Trump’s ear at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13, Americans witnessed one of the most shocking moments in modern political history.
The image of Trump rising from the ground with blood on his face, fist pumping the air while shouting “Fight, fight, fight!” became instantly iconic.
But what happened in those critical moments when Secret Service agents were shielding the former President on the ground has remained largely unreported by the mainstream media.
Until now.
Reporter Salena Zito, who was present at the Butler rally and witnessed the assassination attempt firsthand, has revealed what Trump said in those moments before his defiant stand.
During an appearance on “The Glenn Beck Program,” Zito shared previously unknown details about the shooting and its aftermath.
“He says USA twice… and then I see him turn and get up and say, ‘Fight, fight, fight,'” Zito revealed.
Even while bleeding and surrounded by agents, Trump’s first instinct was to invoke the nation he has fought to protect and serve.
The revelation comes as Zito prepares to release her upcoming book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland.”
Trump explains his powerful response to the shooting
Zito didn’t just witness the event – she later spoke directly with President Trump about his mindset in that critical moment.
When she asked him why he chose those specific words after being shot, Trump’s answer revealed his deep sense of duty to the country.
“And he said, ‘Well, Salena, at that moment I wasn’t Donald Trump. I was symbolic, even though I wasn’t president yet… I had an obligation to show that the country is strong, that we will not be defeated, and that we are resolute. I did not want to be the symbol of America being weak,'” Zito recounted.
Trump’s response moved Glenn Beck to tears during the interview.
“You’re bringing me to tears,” Beck said, noting that this kind of courage “is either in you or not in you, and it’s in very few people.”
Beck observed that while many world leaders have faced assassination attempts, they typically become “egotistical” afterward.
In stark contrast, Trump was “humbled… yet strengthened” by his brush with death.
Trump credits divine intervention for his survival
Perhaps most revealing is Trump’s belief that God saved his life for a specific purpose.
According to Zito, Trump “truly believes divine intervention is why he’s alive today.”
This spiritual awakening explains the remarkable speed and decisiveness of his administration since taking office in January.
The former President believes God spared his life for a purpose — “to save this country.”
But Trump wasn’t the only one who felt a higher power’s presence that day.
Zito reported that many attendees at the Butler rally, who remained surprisingly calm despite witnessing the horrific shooting, have shared that “they felt the presence of something greater than self in that moment.”
This spiritual dimension to the assassination attempt has been almost entirely ignored by mainstream media outlets more interested in downplaying the significance of what happened in Butler.
During the interview, Zito also shared a fascinating historical connection – another famous president was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania, long before Trump’s brush with death.
The mainstream media continues to minimize what happened in Butler, but for millions of Americans who watched in horror as an attempt was made on Trump’s life, his defiant response – beginning with “USA, USA” and culminating with “Fight, fight, fight!” – represents the resilience and strength they believe America needs.
As Trump continues his second term in office with renewed purpose and conviction, the Butler assassination attempt stands as a pivotal moment that fundamentally transformed both the man and his mission.
