I don’t know how bad it is or if he’s okay. But @mickmaynard2 just sent me this picture and I’m praying President Trump is 100% okay. This picture perfectly reflects the EXACT 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 did this gets what they deserve, and I can’t WAIT to stand on stage with him Thursday and introduce him at the Republican National Convention and tell the WORLD exactly what kind of man my friend and the man I KNOW is!!”
