Several pro fighters have shared reactions following the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, Assassination

Trump was in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday for a Presidential rally and during his speech gunshots were fired.

Footage showed the former President grimace and raise a hand to his ear, before ducking and being swarmed by secret services agents.

In a statement, Trump’s campaign said he was “fine” and was being “checked out” at a local medical facility.

“President Donald Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” spokesman Steven Cheung said.

Footage of the apparent assassination attempt quickly went viral and several pro fighters took to social media to share their respective reactions:

“I’m on a plane right now flying to Italy and my phone has been blowing up with text messages from people informing me @realdonaldtrump was shot. I am absolutely SICK to my stomach and in complete shock. I still don’t know how bad it is or if he’s ok. But @mickmaynard2 just sent me this picture and I’m praying President Trump is 100% healthy. This image perfectly reflects EXACTLY the man I know Donald Trump to be. He is the toughest, most resilient, AMERICAN BAD ASS on this planet. I hope the weak coward that shot him gets what he deserves, and I can’t WAIT to stand up on stage with him on Thursday and introduce him at the Republican National Convention and tell the WORLD exactly the character of the friend and man I KNOW!!” – Dana White
