“Apparent Assassination Attempt Targets Trump” was the headline in my local “newspaper” on 7/14/24 – which was the day following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. “Apparent!”?? There was nothing “apparent” about it, as it WAS an assassination attempt!
A few of my thoughts on this assassination attempt:
First of all the initial statement by Donald Trump was one praising the actions of the Secret Service and the local police, when in actuality it was because of the failures of the Secret Service and local police that the attempted assassination occurred at all. I would guess that much more will come out concerning how this could have even happened in broad daylight.
Second: What this does, is to further point out how important the choice of a vice-president can be. If this were to happen to the President, then in a blink of an eye, his vice-president would now be the President of the U.S. As we are awaiting for Trump to divulge his choice, think about what a disaster it would be if Kamala had to move up.
Third: To me this further points out that both Joe Biden and Donald Trump need to be cautious in their use of words.
“We’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye,” Biden said on a recent call.
What both candidates have to realize is that all the crazies out there hear these statements, and some will inevitably choose to act on what was intended to be a metaphor.
