In a post on X Sunday night, Singer/songwriter Jon Kahn shared that the only “recognizable” item from the rubble from his home was a pitcher imprinted with the American flag, which he described as “semi-intact.”
Kahn wrote the song “Fighter” in tribute to President-elect Donald Trump following the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July. The single would go on to become a smash hit, surpassing 10 million views across social media within three days of its release.
“Fighter” also became the #1 song on the Billboard Digital Sales Charts, topping the iTunes Download Charts for six straight days and making Kahn Billboard’s #1 Emerging Artist.
The song’s uplifting message deals with overcoming adversity and has since been played regularly at Trump’s rallies, including when Trump made his historic return rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, following the assassination.
Trump, who called the tribute song “[s]uch an unexpected honor,” shared Kahn’s song in a post on Truth Social and in a post on Instagram.
Khan, who was born and raised in Pacific Palisades, posted on X, “I’ve been leaning into faith these days, and I think I’m going to rely on that and lean on the support of all the love from all my friends, family, and even people I don’t know that have reached out.”
