Chillingly, just days after Barron Trump made an unexpected appearance at his father’s Miami, Florida, campaign rally on July 9, a gunman attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. One audience member was killed, two others were critically injured, and Donald suffered an ear wound. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by the Secret Service.
Thankfully, Barron wasn’t present, but given his previous attendance, many MAGA fans found it too close for comfort. Others swore that Barron would avenge his father’s attempted murder. “They have created Barron’s villain ark,” one wrote. “Barron’s only just getting started,” vowed another. “Barron’s list of names just got longer,” commented a third. “I will avenge you father,’ a fourth captioned an edited pic of Barron holding a dagger to his head.
In the improbable event that Barron was to consider exacting retribution, he would have to get in line behind his older brothers. Donald Trump Jr. was understandably furious. He went on a social media rampage against Donald Sr.’s enemies, both perceived and real. “Dems and their friends in the media knew exactly what they were doing with the “literally Hitler” b****it!” Donald Jr. raged. “Remember, if @BennieGThompson and the Democrats got their way, my dad would be dead right now. Don’t let them memory hole it,” he claimed, vowing his father will “never stop fighting to Save America.”
