On the evening of July 13 at the stadium in Pennsylvania, millions of television viewers saw how Donald Trump was shot. Seconds after the shooting, he stood up with his fist raised high and with the fury of a wounded animal, without wiping the blood from his face, called his supporters “to fight!”.
The scene will not soon be forgotten. Not many people would act like him. Supporters and opponents of Trump are unanimous. The courage with which the presidential candidate responded to the assassination deserves universal admiration.
The first victim of Trump's assassination attempt is Joe Biden. There is no doubt that the sluggish president, who confuses Zelensky with Putin, is unable to stand up to the energetic competitor. In the political fray, ideas are a factor, but if the hand of the standard-bearer trembles, they become confetti. Engaged in two wars, internally divided, America cannot afford to be on autopilot for another four years.
Unlike Europe, where democracy has deep traditions, in the United States, perhaps because of the size of the country, violence and money often take precedence over the ballot box.
The list of American politicians who fell under the bullets of hired or random assassins is long.
On July 2, 1881 President James Garfield
is shot in Washington
In 1901, President William McKinley was assassinated in Buffalo.
President Abraham Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865
On October 14, 1912 President Theodore Roosevelt was shot and lived for 7 years with the bullet in his chest.
On November 22, 1963, at the age of 60, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated
His brother, Senator Robert Kennedy, was shot in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968.
The fighter for the rights of black Americans – Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis/Tennessee at the age of 39.
For four whole years from his loss in the last election to this day, Donald Trump has not stopped contesting their result, claiming that his victory was stolen. Most of the gun-sponsored media supported Biden and ignored his protests. They passed over the fact that the prosecutors who prosecute Trump are always black. No one analyzes the enormous influence of the military-industrial complex on the president's clan and its reflection in arms supplies to Ukraine. The attack on the Capitol was also not analyzed well enough. The hate speech practiced in universities by the American left backfired in the circles of “white farmers”, who were by no means held responsible for the problems of minorities.
The American political “pressure cooker” would have inevitably exploded if Trump had not survived.
