50 Cent, Kid Rock, And Other Celebs React To Attempted Assassination Of Donald Trump: 'We Are All In Trouble Now'
In the wake of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a campaign event in Pennsylvania this weekend, celebrities have been voicing their reactions on social media.
The former president and current GOP frontrunner's right ear was injured in what the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has confirmed to be an "assassination attempt." One rally attendee and the suspected shooter, identified by the bureau as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, were both killed.
On Sunday, July 14, Trump expressed his gratitude for the nation's concern and called for unity among Americans. He also announced plans to attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee later that day.

Several prominent entertainment figures also reacted to the news.
Rapper 50 Cent shared a video clip of his song "Many Men (Wish Death)" (2003) alongside a photo of Trump with his fist raised and blood on his face. "I know the vibes," 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, wrote. "We are all in trouble now!"
The post has since been deleted.
In a follow-up post on X, 50 Cent shared a modified version of the cover for his 2003 debut album "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'," featuring Trump's face superimposed over his own.
"Trump gets shot and now I'm trending," he added in the tweet.
