Former US president Donald Trump paid a touching tribute to rally shooting victim Corey Comperatore at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday.
Firemen brought out a stand holding a fire helmet and a turnout coat bearing the words “Buffalo” and “Compertore”.
Trump arrived on stage, walking alongside the uniform, ahead of his first speech since surviving the attempted assassination.
During his RNC address, Trump took a moment to approach the uniform and kiss the helmet, honouring the fallen fireman.
“He was a highly respected former fire chief, respected by everybody – was accompanied by his wife, Helen, incredible woman I spoke to today. Devastated. And two precious daughters,” he said.
“He lost his life selflessly acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets. He went right over the top of them and was hit. What a fine man he was.”

Its Blasphemous bringing up about God and showing appreciation and still want to do mass deportation to innocent immigrants 🤔
May the Almighty GOD rest your soul in His eternal embrace Corey Compertore. ⚘
My deepest sympathies to his bereaved family.
This dude Trump reminds me of the Deacon in Water World both during and after their speeches. The tones and everything match. I feel bad for the events that happened and for the families affected, but this dude is a wolf in sheeps skin. Especially anytime you have a wrestler, thats been known to lie and spit racists remarks is speaking at your convention.
We need to protect this man at all cost, the ss did a horrible job
God is in control and we must pray for our country. The country is so lost we need to pray more
They spelt the guy’s name wrong on the bloody jacket ffs
Such a fine man…yet you couldn't even spell his name correctly. It's "Comperatore."
Trump is a believer now.
I was crying when I saw the speech of Donald trump save from Gid

As a retired FF EMT, this man has the love of a brotherhood backing him, it’s never easy losing a family member or parent, this man died as he lived protecting he’s family! This family is a part of history forever… how many people in this world would be so selfless? Our military veterans are and I thank them from active to discharged! You are all the reason we have the rights that we do! DJT is the only president to not start a political war in 4 years I. Office! This is the man we need running this country strong brave and selfless! God Bless President Trump! 2024 the best is yet to come😊
RIP. Mr. Comperatore.
You can say anything about it being a political campaign act or so, but it's undeniably a respectful speech and a well deserved tribute to the father that died protecting his family. And beyond that, comes the attitude of raising money for the family of the victims, which is an effort with concrete results. This was perfect, no one can fairly complain about it.
I'm from the UK, and I'd take trump as our prime minister ANY DAY. You watch the media try and spin the narrative on this. When it's clear to see, trump was humble, genuine, and caring here.
Well, leftists…
You lost.
Trump will broke the democracy of america from every person have their right to its religion but trump want to banned all muslim in america. Their know that america and lsrael is begin the war to the muslim country like iraq, afghanistan, palestine.

Trump Trump 2024 fight…….
Mr. Comperatore's family background is very likely Italian; undoubtedly a hero who lost his life protecting his family. May he rest in peace.
He just did that to cover his tracks because he planned on low security at the event that killed that fireman
