The Song He Wrote After Trump Was Shot
Sep 30, 2026
When Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt, independent rapper Tom MacDonald was moved to say something. He couldn’t capture his emotions in a social media post, so he turned to music. MacDonald wrote “You Missed” in just 25 minutes, recorded it that night, and released it the following day. The song became a defiant battle cry and quickly climbed to number one on the charts.
