Donald Trump Mocks His Son Don Jr.’s Reaction to Assassination Attempt, What He Said Will Shock You
Donald Trump recently made some comments about his son, Don Jr., that seemed to mix humor with a bit of criticism. During a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast on February 6, 2025, Trump talked about an assassination attempt that happened last year in Butler, Pennsylvania. He shared a story about how Don Jr. reacted to the incident, suggesting that his son had a newfound sense of religion after the event.
Trump said, “He gained some religion. He went up 25 percent. And if you know him, that’s a lot.” This comment seemed to be a playful jab at Don Jr., implying that his son wasn’t very religious before but had a change of heart after the scary situation. Trump also mentioned that Don Jr. believed “God was watching” that day and had protected his father. Don Jr. reportedly said, “There had to be someone who saved you. I think I know who it is.”
While Trump’s story was meant to highlight Don Jr.’s reaction, some people thought it was a subtle way for the former president to poke fun at his son. This comes at a time when Don Jr. has been in the news for his personal life. He recently split from his ex-girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and has started dating someone new, Bettina Anderson. Interestingly, Anderson tried to subtly announce their relationship before Don Jr. had officially confirmed his breakup with Guilfoyle, which caused some raised eyebrows.
This isn’t the first time Don Jr.’s relationships have made headlines. He and Guilfoyle started dating while he was still married to his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, which led to their divorce. Some people think Trump’s comment about Don Jr. believing “God is watching” might be a sly reference to his son’s past behavior, especially since Don Jr. started seeing Anderson before fully ending things with Guilfoyle.
After Trump’s speech, many people on social media reacted to his comments. Some found humor in the situation, while others criticized Trump for seemingly mocking his son. One user joked, “Only 25%?….” while another said, “He measured his offspring in percentages, as if life itself is a poll.” Another person quipped, “Trump has a Jesus detector?” and someone else added, “Is he calling his own son a heathen? Zero shock though.”
Others made light of the situation, with one user saying, “Don Jr. realized that God didn’t grant his wish!” and another commenting, “So, he used the Prayer Breakfast to mock Christians? ‘He went up 25%’… Faith isn’t a memecoin #Trump.” Some even compared Don Jr. to a video game character, saying, “It’s like Don Jr. is a video game character and he leveled up his Religion skill.”
Overall, Trump’s comments at the National Prayer Breakfast sparked a mix of reactions, with some people finding humor in his words and others seeing it as a way to subtly criticize his son. Whether it was a lighthearted joke or a pointed remark, it definitely got people talking.
