I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

It's difficult to comprehend the emotions Trump went through at that moment, and the fact that less than three hours after the attack he is emphasizing his condolences to the family of the person killed, and acting to calm frayed nerves and console the nation shows where Trump's heart is, and that is with the people of the United States of America.

The contrast with Joe Biden's actions this evening couldn't be sharper.
