Trump has taken a bold swing at Vice President Kamala Harris, laying the blame for assassination attempts against him squarely on her shoulders. The former president, ever the master of turning the tables, made it clear that he sees Harris not just as a political opponent, but as a significant threat to democracy itself ahead of the November election.
During a recent Fox News appearance, Trump declared that he will never surrender, reinforcing his position that he is the nation’s savior, while Harris, alongside her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, embodies the forces intent on running the country into the ground. He asserted that evidence exists linking the recent assassination attempt to inflammatory rhetoric from both Harris and Walz, suggesting their words spurred the gunman, Ryan Wesley Routh, to action. This U-turn in narrative is classic Trump; when the going gets tough, he finds a way to shift the blame to the Democrats.

Routh’s political affiliations reveal much, as he reportedly has a track record of financially supporting only Democratic candidates. This connection raises questions about the motives behind his attack and suggests he bought into the left’s persistent theme that Trump is a “threat to democracy.” According to Trump, this lethal endorsement of violent rhetoric is precisely the type of dangerous chatter that Democrats promote until someone reacts. For Trump, it’s clear: Democrats are not just talkers; they’re inciting chaos.
In the past, Trump was unfairly labeled as the instigator of the January 6th Capitol riots, a claim that has been effectively debunked over time. The irony is that while he has weathered intense scrutiny and blame for those events, he now finds himself as the target of assassination attempts. His defiance remains, as he makes it abundantly clear that these attacks will not deter him.
The former president hasn’t held back in criticizing the mainstream media for its inability to see through the Democrats’ antics. He accuses news outlets of peddling the left’s narrative, designed to shelter the Democrats from scrutiny. In the aftermath of a debate that many perceived as a win for Harris, Trump pointed fingers at the media for what he sees as their collusion in this charade. He sees a pattern; one that ultimately reveals how leftist rhetoric is fueling not just ideological divides, but violent acts against his life. It’s the classic recipe of double standards: what’s sauce for the goose is never sauce for the gander when it comes to Democrats.
