Donald Trump today accused US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of inspiring another alleged assassination attempt against him, without providing evidence, saying their criticisms are a threat to democracy, even though he himself has long used inflammatory rhetoric on the campaign trail and called for arrest or trial. prosecuting his political rivals.
The US presidential election is only 50 days away and early ballots have already begun to be mailed out in some places, and this year's presidential campaign has proven to be among the most turbulent in American history even before yesterday's apparent assassination attempt on Trump.
The Republican presidential candidate remained safe after the incident in Florida and praised the Secret Service for protecting him but was quick to blame his political opponents. Trump blamed the US president today.
"Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, even though I am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones who are destroying it, inside and out," Trump said in statements to Fox News Digital.
His statements differ greatly from the reactions after the assassination attempt on him in July during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet grazed his ear.
Then Trump called for national unity, declaring in a social media post that "it is more important than ever that we be united." A few days later, however, the former US president returned to his usual speech when he harshly criticizes the Democrats.
