‘Fighter’: Trump Shares Kahn’s Epic #1 Song from 2024 Campaign After 12-Day War Victory

By Elizabeth Weibel

President Donald Trump shared Breitbart News’s Jon Kahn’s #1 hit tribute song “Fighter” on Truth Social Tuesday after securing a ceasefire in the 12-Day War between Israel and Iran.

• The president shared Kahn’s song — which the singer/songwriter released in September 2024 as a tribute to Trump following the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania — less than 24 hours after Trump announced the ceasefire agreement he successfully brokered between Israel and Iran.

  

  When Kahn released “Fighter” on X last September with a moving music video, he explained that the song was for Trump and “everyone who fights alongside him.”

  Within 24 hours of its release, “Fighter” skyrocketed to the top spot on iTunes across all charts and stayed at #1 in the iTunes download chart for six straight days, surpassing 10 million views across social media. The following month, “Fighter” became the #1 song on the Billboard Digital Sales Charts, and Kahn became Billboard’s #1 Emerging Artist.

  

  During the 2024 campaign, “Fighter” was regularly played at Trump rallies, including at Trump’s historic return rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at the very location where he was nearly assassinated three months earlier.

  Trump has previously shared Kahn’s song in a post on Truth Social and in a post on Instagram, calling the tribute song “[s]uch an unexpected honor.”

  “FIGHTER” LYRICS:

  I’ve been down
  Counted out
  Smiling through the taste of blood
  In my own mouth

  I got bruises
  Broken bones
  But they don’t know
  I ain’t in this ring alone

  I’m a fighter
  No one can say that I’m a run and hider
  I was born to be a do or die-er
  A make it righter
  Don’t throw that towel just yet
  Don’t cash in that last bet
  Cause I hit harder when I’m tired
  I’m a fighter

  I get back up
  That’s what I do
  I didn’t soldier on this far just to lose

  So take your shot
  Is that all you got?

  I’m a fighter
  No one can say that I’m a run and hider
  I was born to be a do or die-er
  A make it righter
  Don’t throw that towel just yet
  Don’t cash in that last bet
  Cause I hit harder when I’m tired
  I’m a fighter

  No one can keep me down
  They didn’t know but they know now

  That I’m a fighter
  No one can say that I’m a run and hider
  Don’t cash in that last bet
  Don’t throw that towel just yet
  I’m a fighter
