Trump’s lie about Haitian immigrants eating pets (it’s been confirmed to be a lie) wasn’t a surprise, writes a food historian.
It follows a long American history of peddling ugly rumors about immigrants stealing and eating pets. Racists have long twisted dietary rules and preferences of different groups to divide people and dehumanize immigrants.

Presidential assassination attempts, whether successful or not, are fairly commonplace in American history. In fact, 40% of presidents have experienced known attempts on their lives.
Always with a firearm.
Always by a man (with the exception of Gerald Ford's two attempted assassinations).
"The violence itself shows the worst of society, but Americans often seem at their best in the aftermath," writes a presidency scholar:
#uspolitics #history @histodons #Histodons
Trump’s second assassination attempt is shocking, but attempts on presidents’ lives are not rare in US history
While 4 presidents have been killed, many others have been victims of plots to end their lives − sometimes because of political anger, but many other times for incomprehensible reasons.The Conversation
