What Trump assassination attempt might mean for the US political atmosphere
The United States is no stranger to presidential assassinations. Four sitting presidents have been killed, as well as several presidential candidates.
Many fear the attempt on Donald Trump’s life will only increase the number of threats and fear of violence in an already intense election year.
Republicans are blaming it on the Democrats’ demonisation of the former US President, who often uses violent rhetoric himself, warning of a “bloodbath” if he is not elected.
