Attempted assassination of Trump: The long history of violence against U.S. presidents
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump adds to the long history of presidents and presidential candidates in the United States who have been the victims of gun violence.The Conversation
I'm seeing a lot of people saying that this will get Trump elected.
I'm not sure that is the case. I think Trump will be the next president even if he loses, but I don't think this guarantees a win.
Anyone who was comfortable with voting for him was already going to vote for him. I can't imagine this will change too many votes.
