After the video went viral of Good being shot from her car in Minneapolis, Trump addressed the incident in a post on Truth Social, where he wrote, "the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense."
"The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis," the president asserted in his message. "They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE."
Trump also said the ICE Officer in the video is now "recovering in the hospital." The president did not address the fact that Good was killed as a result of the shooting.
After Keery made his stance on the situation abundantly clear, fans on X (formerly Twitter) had a wide range of reactions, with several fans praising the "End of the Beginning" singer for speaking out.
"Joe Keery speaking against trump, okay lets go," one fan posted online, while sharing a screenshot of Keery's Instagram Story on Thursday.

"oh hell yeah Joe," one X post read, while other users tweeted things like "my hero" and "i knew i liked him for a reason."
"king," someone else simply added.
