Renowned Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson has commended former President Donald Trump for his display of resilience following the assassination attempt in July. He remarked that Americans were eager to witness the moment when Trump, after being shot, rose to his feet, raised his fist triumphantly, and repeatedly exclaimed, “Fight!”

During his participation in Patrick Bet-David’s The Vault Conference in Florida last week, Johnson discussed Trump and reflected on the assassination attempt that occurred on July 13, which almost claimed Trump’s life.

“Whether you love Donald, don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him. There’s no room for that,” he said. “Despite it being who we were in that moment, I still believe in my core that is not who we are as a country.”

“So him standing up at that moment, we wanted to see that.”
