Had the assassin succeeded on July 13, it could be the day of the outbreak of another civil war in the United States. Now people are saying – it was “divine intervention” that saved Donald Trump from becoming a political martyr, as the bullet missed just one millimeter from the target.
Following this incident, Trump posted on Truth Social that it was “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening” and that he would “fear not.” While talking to the Washington Examiner, he again invoked “God” for his deliverance. “This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together,” he said.
Meanwhile, the photograph of Trump holding his fist in the air, blood streaming across his face as the agents surrounded him, has already become the iconic image of the 2024 election.
This failed assassination bid seems to have not only destroyed Joe Biden’s reelection ambition but also totally devastated hope for any of the candidates from the Democratic Party to win the November 5 elections. At this state, while a large number of heavyweight figures, including Elon Musk, have already declared their support for Trump, social media giant Meta (former Facebook) has dramatically lifted a ban on him, possibly sensing – it won’t be wise to continue a ban on the next president of the country.
Earlier, a large number of social media users published posts stating, hours before the assassination attempt, Joe Biden told donors on a private call, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”
American media personality Adelle Nazarian, in a post on ‘X,’ even tried to accuse the US Congress Homeland Security Committee of its attempt to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection. In April 2024, Democrats introduced HR-8081 in the US Congress to deny infinite security and government resources allocated towards any convicted former president, which clearly was aimed at Trump.
