King Charles III of the United Kingdom sent a personal letter to former President Donald Trump after he survived an assassination attempt. The letter, delivered via the UK embassy in Washington, DC, was confirmed by Buckingham Palace. While the exact contents of the letter remain unknown, it is said to be in line with the sentiments expressed by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who condemned the attack and wished Trump and those injured a speedy recovery.
This is not the first time that the royal family has shown kindness towards Trump. In 2019, King Charles hosted him and his wife, Melania Trump, for tea at Clarence House. That same year, the late Queen Elizabeth II hosted a state banquet in honor of Donald during his visit to the UK. The close relationship between Charles and Trump is evident through their multiple encounters.
The assassination attempt on Donald Trump took place during an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A sniper targeted him, and he narrowly escaped with minor injuries. His ear was seen covered in blood before he took cover and was rushed to safety by Secret Service agents. Donald later described the terrifying experience on his Truth Social site, stating that he felt the bullet ripping through his skin and piercing his right ear.
The gunman responsible for the attack, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by a Secret Service assault team at the scene. Unfortunately, firefighter Corey Comperatore lost his life while caught in the line of fire, and two other rally-goers were wounded. Despite the near-death experience, Donald expressed gratitude for his safety and praised the Secret Service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their lives to protect him.
Melania Trump also issued a statement expressing her relief that her husband survived the attack. She acknowledged the bravery of the Secret Service agents and law enforcement officials and thanked them for protecting Donald. Meanwhile, Eric Trump described his father as the toughest man he has ever known, emphasizing his resilience in the face of danger.
The Trump family, including daughter Ivanka, expressed gratitude for the love, prayers, and support they received following the incident. Ivanka thanked the Secret Service and all law enforcement officers for their swift actions and continued to pray for the country. She concluded her message by declaring her love for her father.
