President Trump survived an assassination attempt, emerging stronger than ever. The world saw a warrior, shot in the head, stand amidst the chaos and raise his fist in defiance of death, the deep state and the violent radical left, urging his followers to keep fighting. It was a historic moment, destined to be remembered as one of the most iconic and deeply human moments in US political history.
President Trump's heroic response to the assassination attempt left many Americans in awe and created a wave of support. After the incident, Trump received a slew of high-profile endorsements, including Elon Musk, Jake Paul and Jim Caviezel.
Of course, the biggest name to step up is Elon Musk. Right after the assassination attempt, he was quick to give his full support to President Trump.
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 members of the Secret Service after shots were fired at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
“I fully support President Trump and look forward to his speedy recovery,” Musk wrote on X, which he owns.
But Elon isn't 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 Trump's closet.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman endorsed former US President Donald Trump on Saturday in the Republican rematch against President Joe Biden, shortly after Trump was shot in the ear at a rally in campaign
“I will formally endorse @realDonaldTrump,” Ackman posted on social media platform X. “I assure you that I have made this decision carefully, rationally, and relying on as much empirical data as possible.”
Ackman followed Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who supported Trump and expressed “hope for his speedy recovery” from the shooting, in which Trump was hit in the upper right ear, but the his campaign said it was fine.
Ackman's endorsement marks a change from 2021. After Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Ackman posted that Trump should “resign and apologize to all Americans “.
The CEO and portfolio manager of Pershing Square Capital Management said he had recently spent a few hours with Trump, but did not elaborate on the reasoning behind his endorsement.
He said it would take another long post to lay out his thinking. “I just haven't had the time or felt the urgency to write the post since we're still a few months away from the election,” he said.
Ackman's endorsement did not mention Saturday's shooting. He alluded to it in a later post: “We are in the midst of a dangerous time for our democracy.”
“I made this decision some time ago, as many of X's followers have already understood from my posts in support of Trump and my criticism of Biden,” Ackman said. He has 1.3 million followers on X.
Ackman had considered endorsing Trump until May and had planned to announce his support for X, Reuters and other media reported.
Jake Paul also came out strong for the former president.
I pray for peace and prosperity for the world and I think Trump gives us the best chance at that
It kept us out of wars
Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died in Ukraine and Gaza
We need Trump
— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 14, 2024
And of course the great Connor McGregor.
A 78-year-old billionaire who should go on a yacht on medical tourism golf courses. But he is not. He's in Pennsylvania spitting bullets! Run for the love of your country! God speed Donald! God bless America 🙏❤️

Interestingly, many NFL players, a group often labeled as politically correct and predominantly black, not exactly MAGA fans, are showing their support for President Trump. Both white and black players are stepping up. It makes sense, though. These athletes fight on the field every week and see Trump as a fighting partner. Despite the bumps, it still rocks. This kind of noise resonates with them.
Raider star Maxx Crosby didn't hold back. He posted a photo with President Trump and slapped three “goat” emojis to seal the deal — the biggest of all time. Yes, indeed.

He went so far as to say that President Trump has done more for black people than Biden.
LATEST: Former NFL player Antonio Brown says former President Donald Trump did more for black people than Biden.
Brown also says he has “admiration” for Trump for several reasons.
“I've never met him. I admire his business moves and I study his father, Fred Trump. But I think Donald Trump is a good businessman, he comes from a good family and he's been a good president.”
Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler also endorsed President Trump:

It's funny to see NFL players supporting Trump, while NBA players seem more hesitant.
It is very sad to see the @NBA players quiet about what happened yesterday with Trump. Whether your political violence should be condemned or not, not silence. I have lost a lot of respect for many of these NBA “Stars”! Your silence speaks volumes
— Hillcrest Prep (@hillcrest_prep) July 14, 2024
Are they non-partisan or just afraid to publicly show their position? However, one NBA player, Mitchell Robinson of the New York Knicks, is not stopping. She recently shared this iconic photo on her Instagram, making her support very clear.
People, at the end of the day, take note of who is rallying behind President Trump right now. They are the innovators, the football players and the fighters, people who are used to competing and succeeding. They recognize a kindred spirit in President Trump, and maybe it's time the rest of America does too.
