In the wake of the horrifying assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during his campaign rally in Butler, PA, boxing promotion legend Don King spoke in support of the former president and what he stands for, saying that America is in desperate need of him right now, as Trump can’t be bought or bribed, but rather stands for what he believes in.

Beginning, King led off the powerful video with his support of Trump and called out the corrupt system that he sees as being responsible for the assassination attempt, saying, “America needs Donald Trump today. Donald Trump was attempted to be assassinated as the system, the rigged, corrupt system that exists that is trying to prevent the American people from issuing their vote for Trump to become president again by not letting him be on the ballot. So they tried to kill him today.”

Continuing, he argued that Trump is, in his view, incorruptible, and so is hated by those who want to corrupt him to get their way. He said, “This is so this is what we’re up against. Trump can’t be bought, bribed, intimidated or coerced. It is freedom, peace or death, and so he’s demonstrating to the American people that he will never, never surrender. And so not surrendering, they’re trying to kill him.”

He then said that this situation has been horrible, but Americans need to stay committed to fighting for the former president and for what he believes in. King said, “And this has been a horrible situation for us here in America to experience Trump assassination. And so I want the American people to realize, recognize and identify that this is something that we can’t allow to happen. We’ve got to fight back, just like Trump would do.”

Continuing, Kind said that those who support Trump must “never surrender,” saying, “And Trump says never, never surrender. And so we’re not going to surrender. We’re going to fight back. And even in the time of his stress, of his death, he’s putting his fist in the air and said, fight back. Fight back. We going to fight so I love the man.”

King then argued, “America needs the man. America loves the man, and we want Trump to be able to we got to support Trump because in supporting Trump, we support ourselves, and this is what we must do for this great country called America, and fight for our country and our democracy and our rights, and Trump is the one who’s identifying and exposing the crookedness, the corruptness, the divisiveness of this corrupt, rigged system that we’re existing under.”

He concluded by saying, “But today, the Killer Is Dead, the one who attempted Killer Is Dead, the shooter. And now we are going to go out and fight back to re elect Donald Trump as our president, so that we can fight this system and do what he said. We will create a whole new system. We will take this system apart. I want to make America great again. America first.”
