Trump's campaign website redirects to fundraising site featuring bloody fist pump photo

One day after a gunman tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the GOP candidate’s website redirects to a fundraising platform for conservative candidates across the U.S.

An all-black landing page features Trump’s campaign logo, with a black-and-white photograph of Trump raising his fist shortly after the shooting occurred, blood streaked across his face.

“I am Donald J. Trump,” the page reads. “FEAR NOT! I will always love you for supporting me.”

The shooting, allegedly carried out by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, killed one person in the stands behind Trump and critically injured two others.

Crooks was shot dead by Secret Service counter snipers.

As Secret Service agents swarmed the stage to guard and secure Trump, who was struck in the right ear by the gunman’s bullet, the 78–year-old boldly stood up, pumped his fist and mouthed “fight, fight, fight.”

That stunning image is the one on a fundraising page at winred.com where Trump’s official site redirects to.

The website redirect on Trump’s site was put in place sometime Sunday afternoon.

An Internet Archive Wayback Machine snapshot at 3:56 p.m. eastern Sunday shows the home page, with the quote “They’re not after me, they’re after you … I’m just standing in the way.” That quote has been on Trump’s homepage for several months.

Less than three hours later, a Wayback Machine snapshot of Trump’s website shows it redirecting to the WinRed site.
