Catherine Oxenberg, an actress best known for playing the role of Amanda Carrington on the 1980s hit drama series “Dynasty,” just dropped a whopping $50,000 into the GoFundMe account that was authorized by former President Donald Trump to provide financial support for the victims of the shooting that took place at the Trump rally last Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooting was part of an assassination attempt on Trump’s life, which, thankfully, failed.
Unfortunately, one person died and others were seriously injured as the bullets flew.
Here’s more information on Oxenberg and her donation via Fox News:
“My heart breaks for the families of the victims and for the tragic loss of life. May God bless them and hold them close as they grieve,” Oxenberg wrote along with her $50,000 donation to GoFundMe to support the families of those wounded or killed in the assassination attempt of Trump, who accepted the Republican 2024 nomination for president this week. Oxenberg also posted a link to the GoFundMe on her official X account.
The GoFundMe, which was started by Meredith O’Rourke, Trump’s national finance director and senior adviser, has raised over $5 million through over 68,000 donations. Beneficiaries of the GoFundMe include the family of Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who died shielding his loved ones from bullets at the campaign rally.
Another GoFundMe set up by Jason Bubb, who owns the Three Fit Six gym in Cabot, organized the fundraiser for Comperatore’s daughter Allyson, who frequents the gym. The fundraiser has garnered over $1.2 million in donations.
“Saturday night, our friend and family, Allyson, lost her father due to a senseless, tragic act at the Trump rally in Butler,” Bubb stated in the fundraiser. “Allyson has been an athlete with us since the beginning. She’s a huge part of our community … if you’re able to support her and her family during this time, we will have a spot for donations at the gym. Additionally, please take the time to sign the cards at the desk.”
“Wow. We are over $800k in less than 24 hours,” he later said. “I would say our goal is 1M. Please share with everyone you know. Allyson and family are truly grateful for all your support.”
This is just simply amazing.
One of the things that Trump gets accused of — falsely — all the time is being self-centered and only caring about himself. When you look at his life and all the charity work he’s done and the way he’s helped others in various situations under the radar, it’s clear that the former president has always enjoyed giving back.

When this pathetic excuse for a human being decided to try and murder our former president, he obviously did not care at all about the potential for collateral damage. These families are the true victims of Thomas Matthew Crooks. Not only have they lost a father and a husband, but the breadwinner of their family.
Money will not bring back Mr. Comperatore, but it will help ensure that the family will not go without financial assistance and will be able to focus on grieving and healing rather than worrying about the smaller problems of life.
Pray for the families. They need it.
