On July 13, 2024 President Donald Trump, although wounded, survived an assassination attempt while speaking at a campaign ralley in Pennsylvania. A photo-journalist was able to snap a picture of President Trump as he rose up, among his Secret Service agents, and raised his fist high in the air, screaming "Fight! Fight! Fight". Behind him, the Battle Standard of the United States of America unfurled and waving in pristine glory. This iconic picture will inspire millions to take up his Battle Cry and fight for their Country, to restore our values and freedoms, and make Her great again.

A great man, bloodied upon the stage, Lifted high his fist in a fit of rage. “Fight! Fight! Fight!” was his Battle Cry. He lived through the trauma, too driven to die. A crooked man, intelligent but troubled and young Lay sprawled on the rooftop with a powerful gun. His life snuffed out in a moment, he didn’t hear the cry, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” echoed by thousands standing by. God’s Grace and Protection covered the park that day, Although the protectors were in chaos and stark disarray. A Higher Power had declared the time was not here. It was destiny calling for 45’s Battle Cry cheer. “Fight! Fight! Fight!” will stay in the minds and the hearts Of the millions of Patriots ready to play their own parts. They stand tall and resilient with no fear or dismay. Our Country’s values and dreams won’t be stolen away. We will never give up. We will never give in. “Fight! Fight! Fight!” until we are free again. Chula Fleming © August 11, 2024

Hi Chula, you have to give Donald Trump credit, against all the odds he won through, the American population woke up to all the fake news from the media and newspapers. Check out my Trump poem again, I've just added 3 more lines regarding Bruce Springsteen, who campaigned against Trump.
