Trump escaped an attempted assassination? Joked he doesn't know how long he'll live: I'm like Lincoln and Kennedy
Trump was almost assassinated again.
In the recent weekend, a young man in the United States tried to break into Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate to assassinate him, but he failed before even entering the security line, being shot dead by agents. Even if he had successfully entered the estate, it would have been futile, as Trump was at the White House at the time, not at Mar-a-Lago.
Compared to the previous incident where Trump's ear was injured, this assassination attempt was too hasty, as the perpetrator didn't even know where the target was, yet rashly entered, and was immediately killed. He carried too many lethal weapons, including a shotgun and incendiary cans. If not stopped in time, it could have caused significant damage.
The next day, Trump responded at a press conference, saying he didn't know how much time he had left, as many people wanted to kill him because of his fame, just like Lincoln and Kennedy, who always had someone trying to kill them. It's basically a case of "fear of being famous, pigs fear to grow fat."
Although this statement sounds a bit self-praising, Trump indeed has many enemies. Since he ran for president in 2024, he has already suffered three failed assassination attempts, the most serious of which was the one that injured his ear. It is said that the bullet came within 0.64 cm of his head, and surviving was a matter of luck.
After taking office, Trump implemented a series of controversial policies, claiming to make America great again, but actually doing things that benefited himself. In the past year, the rich in the US have become richer, while the poor have become poorer.
Under these circumstances, it's possible that many people want to kill him. However, compared to the benefits of being president, taking on corresponding risks is reasonable. The bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish.
