Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac reacted to the recent assassination attempt on leading presidential candidate Donald Trump, expressing his relief that the former president survived.
Isaac tweeted, “Prayers up!! Glad Trump survived for his family and americas sake. From one believer to another may we stand for truth, love our enemies, guard our hearts, and firmly plant our faith in none other than Jesus Christ for grace and eternal life.”
The assassination attempt occurred during a rally in Pennsylvania where shots were fired as Trump was speaking to the crowd. The incident caused panic among attendees, with Trump reaching up to his neck, revealing blood.
Trump was quickly assisted by Secret Service agents who rushed him off stage, blood streaming down his face and ear. In a post on Truth Social, Trump thanked the Secret Service and law enforcement for their rapid response.
Trump expressed his condolences to the family of the person killed and another who was badly injured during the attack. He described hearing a whizzing sound, feeling the bullet, and realizing what was happening as blood poured from his ear.
The gunman, found in a sniper position, was neutralized by agents after the shooting. The incident left at least one other person confirmed dead as a result of the attack.
Isaac’s public support for Trump and his family highlighted the intersection of faith and politics in his life. His reaction to the assassination attempt demonstrated his commitment to his beliefs and his concern for the nation’s leaders.
