Fist-Pumping Trump Delivers Strength Biden’s Weakness Destroys

The differences between former President Donald Trump’s and President Joe Biden’s abilities to lead and unite the country could not be starker after the Republican’s response to an assassination attempt against him on Saturday night.

The man corporate media and Democrats have repeatedly insisted is “leading” our nation is so physically and mentally weak that he has to be escorted off of the campaign, debate, and world stages for fear that he might get lost on his way to the stairs. The Democrat can’t get through a fundraising event, debate, or rigged press conferences and radio interviews, without rattling off a list of memory-scrambled lies, mixing up the names of his cabinet members, and looking generally pallid and confused.

Contrast Biden’s frailty in every one of his public appearances with the unifying vigor Trump displayed on Saturday after surviving an assassination attempt at his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.

Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet prevented from landing on its target by “God alone,” but he did not flail about in pain. Instead, the presidential candidate calmly stood and raised his clenched hand through a tangle of Secret Service agents’ arms to show that he was alive, well, and most importantly, undeterred from communicating the courage Americans need to see after a failed assassination attempt on their potential future president.

Democrats have spent the last eight years trying to smear, usurp, bankrupt, and jail their top political opponent with political hit jobs. Their blatant assassination prep, however, failed again yesterday when Trump not only survived to tell the tale, but did so with unmatched passion for his voters and the country.

The image left seared in Americans’ minds as they went to bed on Saturday night was not the one of the bullet whizzing by Trump’s head, but one of the bloodied Republican’s defiant fist in front of the American flag.

With only mere seconds to think about his reaction to taking a shot to the head, Trump gave one of the most coherent, powerful signs of strength a leader could show.

“In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win,” Trump wrote in a follow-up statement on Truth Social Sunday morning. “I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.”

Contrast Trump’s hope-filled statement with Biden’s tone-deaf call to “unite” the country he’s done nothing but tear apart since he took office.

For four years, Biden opened the U.S. up to a multitude of republic-wrecking crises, abuses, and disasters that will have detrimental effects on the nation and its security for years to come. When he wasn’t undermining the nation’s credibility with thinly veiled threats demonizing Trump and the “MAGA” voters who elected him as “a threat to the very soul of this country,” Biden was weaponizing the bureaucracy against Christian Americans and engaging in lawfare that he hoped would pad his chances in the upcoming election.

The Democrat can’t even make it through a speech or questions from reporters without embarrassing himself and assuring American enemies that they have what Trump’s former deputy national security advisor K.T. McFarland called a “narrowing window of opportunity to exploit US weakness.” There is no doubt that our Head of State’s physical frailness and his cabinet’s deliberate political deficiencies have put the U.S. in foreign and domestic danger.

The strength our nation needs to recover from countless Democrat-led attacks on the Constitution and founding principles is not found in the weak man puttering around like a robot vacuum after telling the world “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.” It’s found in Trump, his pivotal fist pump, and his promise to hold the deep state accountable for its devastating role in the destruction of America.
