The assailant's bullet pierced the right ear, and Trump's bleeding is discussed in the air of the US election campaign
(American presidential election on November 5. Trump is the Republican Party's presidential candidate. His campaign rally was in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The gunman's attack happened there.)
A bullet Target is Donald Trump. The former American president sat on the stage with his hand on his right ear. When the security guards came and picked up Trump, he saw blood in his ears and face! Is this bloody picture determining the course of the upcoming presidential election in America? Discussions about it have already started in that country. Ahead of another presidential run in November, Trump has made it clear that he is undeterred. "Fight, fight!" the 78-year-old Republican politician raised his right fist before leaving the stage after being shot.
However, after the attack on Trump, the whole of America put aside all differences and united against violence. America's president and Trump's main political opponent, Joe Biden, said that there is no place for such violence in America. Trump, who had called Trump a "fascist" and "liar" in a public debate a few days ago, called his rival after Trump was attacked. Aggrieved Trump also sent a message to Americans to be 'united'. The tone of unity, however, soon ends. Supporters of Trump's party are indirectly blaming Biden and the ruling Democrats for this attack. In addition to issues like immigration, Biden's age, and aid to Ukraine, the attack is expected to be a big issue in the upcoming presidential election.

Lumpy in security?

At least the supporters had to go through a lengthy search process to enter the meeting. Carrying bags was also prohibited. However, after all this, the lump that was in the beginning, many people think that the bullet passing near Trump's ear is the proof of that.

Accused Biden!
Although some of the prominent people of the United States raised questions about the security system of the gathering, the Republicans aimed directly at Biden. Supporters of Trump's party say that Biden has condemned Trump throughout the election campaign. He has repeatedly claimed that Trump is a dictator and a fascist, so he should be prevented from coming to power. Trump supporters claim that Biden's provocative words have incited violence.
What did Trump himself say?

He further wrote, "It is shocking to think that such an incident can happen in our country. The assailant is dead. Nothing is known about him.

Abraham Lincoln was killed in 1865 while he was president. James Garfield was shot six months into his presidency. He died after long treatment. In 1901, another former American president, William McKinley, died of a gunshot wound to the chest. In 1963, the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, died by shooting. Five other former presidents narrowly escaped gunfire—Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford and George W. Bush. Trump's name has been added to this list this time.
