And then the media and left howled about it.
But Trump knows what he is about and knows the symbolism of his stance:
Former President Donald Trump in a new interview described his thinking when he stood up and raised his fist as he was bleeding from the ear and surrounded by Secret Service agents after his assassination attempt at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday (local time), CNN reported.
“The energy coming from the people there in that moment, they just stood there; it’s hard to describe what that felt like, but I knew the world was looking. I knew that history would judge this, and I knew I had to let them know we are OK,” Trump told the Washington Examiner.
He said the reality of what happened at the rally was “just setting in.”
“I rarely look away from the crowd. Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?”
Trump said his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee would be completely different after what happened on Saturday (local time).
“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now.
“This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together. The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would’ve been two days ago.”
Stuff
Trump is dead right. And you saw that energy change from shock and sadness to power, strength and defiance as they chanted USA! USA! USA! in response. Watch, you can see the change.
The left and media attacked Trump for his fist pumping. Media, including the NZ Herald were claiming it is a white supremacist sign.
But they were perfectly OK when it has been used before.
Like Barack Obama.
It’s OK when Joe does it.
Jacinda Ardern seemed perfectly happy with a raised fist right beside her.
Or maybe Chloe Swarbrick.
So, raise your fist for freedom. If it’s OK for the left to do it, it is OK for you too!

It "might interest New Zealand citizens, to note"-
1.- across America, there has been an "uplifting cry - USA, USA" by Americans at many events, gatherings, that shows the spirit of that Country in the light of adversity.
2. - that there is a "cry" from many Media people, in America, that the derisive rhetoric across all 'platforms needs to be toned down'. Which sadly has been missed by many, especially when Politicians openly tweet - "sad that the bullet missed" or TV personalities have (and still do) verbally "pile on tripe about Trump".
3. - And here in NZ, we have had the same activity occur, both in print media and I see it on Facebook as well.
Sadly, in NZ many people do not know -
- anything about Donald Trump and
- and what he achieved in the first 3 years of his Presidency.
NZ media... pffft
The clenched fist a ‘white supremacist’ salute?
Big joke from the MSM ignos.
Black American sprinters John Carlos and Tommie C. Smith were expelled from the Mexico Olympic Games of 1968 for giving the clenched fist Black Power salute from atop the dais during the medal ceremony for the men’s 200 metres.
Trump’s share of the black vote just went up …
Cam, you are a champ mate. I love it when you highlight the far left hypocrisy when other leaders do the fist salute. It's only a supremist salute when Trump does it.
The left loathe you. Keep up the awesome work.
God earmarked Donald Trump for the white house, western socialism is dying right in front of our eyes, New Zealand is way behind at the moment, but we will finally wake up to what has been happening here, the real question do we have time to address the socialists and their hatred for democracy and private ownership?
