Donald Trump assassination attempt: Who was Corey Comperatore, the fireman killed in the attack?
One year ago today, United States President Donald Trump was targeted by an assassin while campaigning in Butler, Pennsylvania. While the President survived the attempt and leveraged the incident to further bolster his campaign, the event wasn't entirely free of casualties. Corey Comperatore, a Pennsylvania resident and former fire chief, tragically lost his life while shielding his wife and two daughters from gunfire. The White House X account paid tribute to the deceased fireman today, on the one-year anniversary of the incident. Corey Comperatore died during Donald Trump's attempted assassination Corey Comperatore was the only person who died during the attempted assassination of Donald Trump that occurred one year ago, on July 13, 2024. The murder attempt was masterminded by a long wolf gunman named Thomas Matthew Cook. Thomas used an AR-15 patterned rifle for the attempt. Corey was a resident of Sarver, Pennsylvania, and was a member of the Global Methodist Church, which would publish an obituary about him. One year later, our hearts remain with the Comperatore family. Corey's courage and love for his family reflect the very best of America. President Trump remains committed to honoring Corey's legacy and securing justice in his name. Corey is survived by his wife, Helen, and his daughters, Allison and Kaylee, with him sacrificing his own life to save them from the gunfire directed at Donald Trump. In a Facebook post, Corey's older sister, Dawn, spoke up about her brother's tragic demise: 'The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most. [Corey's] wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable. Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister-in-law, nieces, my mother, sister, me and his nieces and nephews as this feels like a terrible nightmare but we know it is our painful reality.' The July 13 assassination attempt led to multiple injuries While Corey died as a result of the assassination attempt, there were a number of injuries as a result of the event. Remember to pray for the family of Corey Comperatore today. The most high-profile of these injuries was Donald Trump himself, whose ear was grazed by a bullet. Other injuries included two men in the audience, aged 57 and 74, who were critically injured and had to be hospitalized.

White House Sparks Uproar With "Superman Trump" Post After Film Release
Hours after the global release of James Gunn's highly anticipated Superman film, the White House stirred a storm online by posting an AI-generated image of President Donald Trump as the iconic superhero. The image, shared on the official White House X account, shows a heavily muscled Trump in Superman's costume, mid-flight, with the caption, "The symbol of hope. Truth. Justice. The American Way. Superman Trump." The overlay text read, "A Trump Presidency. Truth. Justice. The American Way." THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP. ???????? — The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 11, 2025 The post has quickly become internet fodder. A user wrote, " 'Superman Trump' is insane. Superman's from Krypton, fights fascists, and stands for truth. Trump's from tax fraud, incites coups, and can't spell honest. You've mistaken Lex Luthor for Clark Kent." Another wrote, "Superman was an illegal immigrant growing up on a farm." "Truth? Where is the Epstein list? Justice? Where is the justice for Epstein's victims?" a comment read. The post landed after director James Gunn spoke of his interpretation of Superman. He described the film, released on July 11, as "the story of America," calling Superman "an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country." He added, "For me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost," in an interview with The Times of London. Superman, first created in 1933 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two teenage sons of Jewish immigrants from Cleveland, was originally conceived as a villain in a short story titled ' The Reign of the Superman.' A year later, they reimagined him as a hero fighting for justice. This new version of Superman made his official debut in Action Comics #1 in April 1938. The new film revisits Superman's moral dilemmas through a more adult lens. One of the most talked-about scenes features a 10-minute conversation between Clark Kent and his girlfriend Lois Lane, discussing geopolitics and whether Superman should have stopped a war. "It is definitely the most unusual thing that we put in the movie," Gunn says. "Yes, it's about politics," Gunn explained. "But on another level, it's about morality. Do you never kill no matter what, which is what Superman believes, or do you find some balance, as Lois believes?" The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees once released a book in Italy titled ' Superman Was a Refugee Too ', showing the character's roots as an alien forced to flee his dying planet. Less than a decade ago, DC Comics supported World Refugee Day with the message, "The Man of Steel's story is the ultimate example of a refugee who makes his new home better." Trump has toughened immigration rules with a $75 billion increase in ICE funding, raising detention capacity from 41,500 to 116,000 beds. Over 70 per cent of those detained in June had no criminal record.

White House Posts ‘Daddy's Home' NATO Supercut
The White House on Wednesday posted a video montage of President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in the Netherlands, set to Usher's "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)," drawing mixed reactions on social media. It came just hours after NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte referred to Trump as "Daddy" during a press conference, a moment that went viral. The White House appears to be embracing the viral moment involving Rutte calling Trump "daddy," doubling down on the controversial remark by pairing a video with a song that makes reference to the term. The 66-second video, posted to the official White House X account on Wednesday night, featured a highlight reel of Trump at the NATO summit. It showed the president speaking with Rutte, taking questions alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and shaking hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The footage, set to Usher's 2010 hit "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)," is captioned: "Daddy's home... Hey, hey, hey, Daddy. President Donald J. Trump attended the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands." On Wednesday morning, Rutte referred to the president as "daddy" in a remark that appeared to defend Trump's profanity-containing response to Israel and Iran violating the terms of a ceasefire he said he had brokered just hours before. Trump's ceasefire announcement followed nearly two weeks of escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran, which raised fears of a wider war. Trump intervened in the conflict and struck Iran's nuclear infrastructure over the weekend with 30,000-pound "bunker buster" bombs. At the summit Wednesday, Trump compared Israel and Iran to "two kids in a school yard" fighting. "They fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two, three minutes. Then it's easier to stop them," he said. "Then daddy has to sometimes use strong language," Rutte, who succeeded Jens Stoltenberg as NATO's Secretary General in October, added. Later that day, a journalist asked Trump about Rutte referring to him as "daddy" and whether he thought of America's NATO allies as children. "No, he likes me," Trump responded. "I think he likes me. If he doesn't, I'll let you know. I'll come back and I'll hit him hard, OK? He did it very [affectionately], 'Daddy, you're my daddy.'" Rutte later appeared to walk back his comments, saying he used the term as a metaphor. But he also told a reporter Wednesday that he didn't think it was "demeaning" for a NATO chief to refer to Trump as "daddy." "No, I don't think so. I think it's a bit of a question of taste," Rutte said. President Donald Trump said Tuesday morning, accusing both Israel and Iran of violating his ceasefire: "You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f--- they're doing! Do you understand that?" The White House montage drew mixed reactions on social media. Internet personality Mario Nawfal said on X: "Presidential meme game reaching unprecedented levels." American political commentator Benny Johnson wrote on X: "This is easily the best thing on the internet." Russia's Kremlin newswire RT wrote on X: "'DADDY'S Home' aka President Trump. White House has a little fun after his NATO nickname stole the show." One X user asked: Who does this appeal to? Trump is back in the White House after returning from the NATO summit. He said U.S. and Iranian officials plan to meet next week.
