The dust is finally settling on the rally shooting in the Butler County, Pennsylvania, attack Saturday that left Donald Trump lightly injured. The assailant was KIA, while others faced injury. A GoFundMe effort from the Trump campaign to assist victims and families raised more than $4.3 million initially. Build from over 56,000 donations, UFC bossman Dana White has also been part of that compilation.
Donald Trump was in one of his signature Republican rallies when shots rang through the crowd. With some seven or eight attempts, only one scathed through the 77-year-old, hurting his ear. The whole of fight community went on high alert on the matter. A GoFundMe spokesman confirmed and verified the effort; White had reportedly donated $100,000.
Corey Comperatore, 50, a former Fire Chief, jumped into the water to protect his family and was tragically killed. According to the Associated Press, David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, and James Copenhaver, 74, were injured. Celebrities, business leaders, GOP notables, and many others have hence donated; including White.
Dana White learned about the matter from UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard on a flight to Italy. The matter happened mere days before his speech at the GOP convention as a Republican advocate at the RNC. The matter has only strengthened his resolve and perception of the maverick who shoots up his fists in resolve and addresses the crowd. As such, many have similarly donated to the cause.
The aftermath: Who paid what?
Dana White wasn’t the only one in his effort to pitch in on the matter. A glance at the site (gofundme.com/f/president-trump-seeks-support-for-butler-pa-victims) shows White donated $ 50,000. Meanwhile, UFC management cued in yet another $ 50,000. However, they aren’t the only prominent ones.

It has long passed the initial $1 million goal; it goes to show, as Aljamain Sterling put it in his initial reactions, that there is no place or love for violence despite political affiliations
