The silence surrounding the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump 90 days ago is deafening
Here we are, months later, and it's as if this seismic event never happened in the eyes of mainstream media. But let's not forget - this wasn't just any event, it was an assassination attempt caught live on television, a brutal moment where an innocent man was murdered
Imagine, for a moment, if this had ended differently. Trump miraculously escaped what could have been a fatal encounter. Yet, rather than a national reckoning on political violence, we're met with a media landscape that's seemingly moved on, as if the attempt on a former president's life was just another day's news.
This memory-holing isn't just about overlooking an event; it's about ignoring the implications:
- *Security Failures*: How did someone get so close with lethal intent? This should've sparked a nationwide review of protection for political figures, yet here we stand, without answers or improvements.
- *Political Discourse*: When a former president can be targeted openly, it's a stark reminder of how toxic our political rhetoric has become. Yet, instead of addressing this, we're fed trivialities, as if the attempt didn't scream for a deeper conversation on where our discourse is leading us.
- *Public Memory*: By not keeping this event in the public eye, are we not setting a dangerous precedent? If we can forget or ignore an assassination attempt, what else are we willing to overlook?
The miracle here isn't just that Trump survived; it's that this hasn't become a catalyst for change. The media, tasked with informing the public, has instead chosen to look away, perhaps out of discomfort with the narrative, or maybe due to fatigue from constant political drama.
But this isn't about Trump's political stance; it's about the sanctity of political life in our society. Ignoring this doesn't make it go away; it normalizes the unthinkable.
Wake up, America. This wasn't just an attempt on Trump; it was an attack on our collective security, on the idea that political figures, regardless of their views, should be safe to engage in public life. Let's not let this be just another forgotten headline. We owe it to ourselves to confront this head-on
Trump is ‘not safe’ – Putin
The US President-elect and his family were subjected to “absolutely uncivilized methods” during the election campaign, Vladimir Putin has said
The Russian president made the remarks on Thursday at a press conference in Astana, Kazakhstan, following a two-day Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit.
Putin said he was astonished by the way the US election campaign had unfolded, citing the “absolutely uncivilized methods used to battle against Trump, including repeated assassination attempts.”
“In my opinion, he is not safe now,” Putin emphasized, noting that “various incidents have happened in US history.”
Russia’s president praised Trump as an experienced and intelligent politician, saying he hopes the president-elect is “cautious and understands this.”
Trump survived an assassination attempt on July 13 during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet fired from around 150 meters away grazed his ear. The Secret Service responded by taking down the shooter, who was later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, a resident of a suburb of nearby Pittsburgh.
Another would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, was arrested in September after he set up an ambush at a Florida golf course belonging to Trump.
