CNN writes that Trump’s fans already considered him an invincible hero. Now this “fighter image” will take root even more deeply. At the moment of the assassination attempt, he made sure that he had created a certain symbol of defiance – he raised his fist and shouted “fight, fight” to the crowd, looking directly at the TV cameras.
These images will enrich the Trump mythology.
The Washington Post editorial board published a column titled “What Do We Want to Do, America?” The journalists write that all US citizens have been affected by “toxic politics” – regardless of their beliefs or ideology.
Americans, what do we want to be? The responsibility lies with us, they say.
Politico also recalls that “Trump’s raised fist will go down in history,” and after the shooting, Republicans rushed to accuse Democrats of “demonizing” the former president.
The premise of the Biden campaign was that Trump was an authoritarian fascist who had to be stopped at all costs. And that rhetoric led to the assassination attempt, said Sen. J.D. Vance.
Although the shock later gave way to a sense of triumph. Donald Trump Jr. wrote that his father “will never stop fighting to save America,” adding a photo of his bloodied face. Next week, Trump will be greeted by heroic tongues at the Republican convention, the newspaper writes.
Reuters notes that political violence in the US is now the worst since the 1970s. It is also worth mentioning that most Democrats condemned the assassination attempt on the former president. And few of them wanted to discuss how this event will affect Joe Biden’s campaign. However, CBS writes that party members “have suspended any efforts to remove Biden from the election – at least for now.”
