He didn’t take a salary when he was president. He took a bullet as a presidential candidate. What more can this man do to prove that he wants to Make America Great Again?
The failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump this weekend marks the second attempt on his life. This latest attempt is reminiscent of one of President Trump’s heroes, Theodore Roosevelt, who, while running for reelection in 1912, was shot in the chest. Roosevelt famously finished his speech before going to the hospital. Another Trump hero is Andrew Jackson, who, at the age of 67, was attacked by an assassin. Jackson beat the attacker to the ground and subdued him until law enforcement could take him into custody.
Theodore Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson left us with a powerful picture of what manhood should be. Trump gave us an incredible meme, with blood dripping down his face, the American flag in the background, and the defiant motto “Fight! Fight! Fight.”
Over the past 160 years, four sitting U.S. presidents have been assassinated. There have been attempted assassinations on six U.S. presidents, one successful assassination of a presidential candidate, and four failed assassination attempts on presidential candidates.
