Actor and director Tim Robbins ("The Shawshank Redemption," "Mystic River," "Top Gun") condemned anyone that compared the assassination attempt of Trump to his satirical film, "Bob Roberts," released in 1992. The film follows a conservative businessman running for the Senate that is also shot at.

"To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life. Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged mindset. A human being was shot yesterday. Another killed. They may not be human beings that you agree with politically but for shame folks. Get over your blind hatred of these people. They are fellow Americans. This collective hatred is killing our souls and consuming whatever is left of our humanity," he wrote to X.

Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino

Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino of "Jersey Shore" fame, who posed for a picture with the former president and UFC founder Dana White at an event last month, wrote "Praying for our country," to X.

50 Cent

Curtis James Jackson III, known professionally as 50 Cent, shared a meme of Trump's head photoshopped onto the cover art of his debut album, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'," released in 2003. 

"Trump gets shot and now I'm trending," the rapper wrote to X.

The rapper recently shared that he believes Trump will be re-elected to the Oval Office come November.
