Ivanka Trump Releases Statement Detailing Trump’s Guardian Angel

A scene straight out of a thriller unfolded in the town of Butler, Pennsylvania when an assassination attempt was made on former President Donald Trump during Saturday’s political rally. The chaos ensued shortly after Trump addressed an eager crowd, culminating in gunfire that left the former president narrowly escaping death.

The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed at the scene. The FBI has taken the lead in the investigation, treating the incident as an assassination attempt. This has prompted a detailed examination of Crooks’ motives and background, as well as an increased scrutiny of security measures at political events. Authorities reported that the shooting claimed the life of one attendee and critically wounded two others.

After the turmoil, a moment emerged on social media. Ivanka Trump, daughter of the 2024 hopeful, later shared a heartfelt message connecting the frightening event with a personal loss. Two years to the day, Ivanka mourned the anniversary of her mother’s death, expressing her belief that her mother’s spirit had played a guardian role during the harrowing ordeal.

“I believe she was watching over Dad last night during the attempt on his life,” Ivanka tweeted early Sunday morning.” Her post resonated widely, garnering 2.7 million views and touching the hearts of many who read her message of family, loss, and enduring protection.

Two years ago today, my mom passed away. I believe she was watching over Dad last night during the attempt on his life.

Eric Trump, also reflecting on the loss of his mother on the same date, echoed his sister’s sentiments on X. He described the event as “nothing short of divine intervention.” Both Ivanka and Eric, along with their brother Donald Jr., have been deeply involved in their father’s presidential campaign, and have continued to be important figures in his political and personal life.

Ivana Trump, the first wife of Donald Trump, passed away on July 14, 2022. The couple married back in 1977, and she quickly became involved in the Trump Organization, where she played a significant role in the management of several key projects. Ivana sadly died from injuries sustained in an accidental fall at her home in New York City. The medical examiner determined that her death was caused by blunt impact injuries to her torso, resulting from the fall.

On Sunday Trump declared his intentions not to let the violent act disrupt his schedule. In a statement Trump announced: “Based on yesterday’s terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin, and The Republican National Convention, by two days, but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else. Therefore, I will be leaving for Milwaukee, as scheduled, at 3:30 P.M. TODAY.”

“UNITE AMERICA!” he later wrote.

The RNC, scheduled to start on Monday, is set to conclude with Trump accepting his party’s nomination for the third time in a row. The event will take place for four days: Monday through Thursday. Law enforcement sources, including the FBI, Secret Service, and local agencies, have intensified security measures in response. Following Saturday’s attack officials are now planning to expand this perimeter and establish buffer zones around the convention areas.
