A young Cuban painter gifted former United States President Donald Trump a painting where he recreates the victory gesture made by Trump after surviving the assassination attempt during an electoral rally in Pennsylvania last July.
Enrique Tur, the name of the young painter, presented this gift to the former president during a Trump campaign event at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium of the Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville, North Carolina, on Wednesday, August 14.
"I want to thank God, President Trump for this opportunity that means so much to me, my family, and friends for believing in my art. It was 15 hours by car across this beautiful country, and the goal was achieved," Tur wrote on his social media.
The young man drove from Dallas, Texas, where he resides, to Asheville, with the aim of delivering his gift.
Niover Licea highlighted the actions of this painter on his Instagram profile, who mentioned that he is originally from the city of Santiago de Cuba and a graduate of the School of Art Instructors in that city.
It was Trump himself who received the painting from the young man and, surprised, told him that he would take it with him, despite having been given other allegorical paintings, but none like this one.
The painting is titled "Finished Attempt" and is an oil on canvas measuring 30x44 inches, Tur specified.
After the attack on July 14, former President Trump confirmed that the bullet went through the "upper part of the ear."
"I immediately knew that something was wrong, as I heard several gunshots and I immediately felt the bullet pierce my skin," he expressed in a message.
After the attack and being taken to the hospital, Trump's presidential campaign reported that he was "fine" and was "being evaluated at a local medical center."
Various political personalities immediately expressed their condemnation of the attack.
