A man is not the same after being shot in the face, says former Fox News star Tucker Carlson to the website Axios. The image of Donald Trump with blood on his face raising his fist in the air will end up in most history books for years to come. The image of Donald Trump raising his fist after being shot has already become iconic.

He showed that he is a leader who manages to appear strong even in the most dangerous situation of his life, says commentator Jim Vandehei. Americans like strong leaders. And in the extension of this, Trump has a great opportunity when later that week he addresses the national convention here in Milwaukee that will crown him as presidential candidate for the third time: If Trump manages to use this historic moment to tell Americans that there is more that unites than divides them, he may be able to secure even more votes. Photo: Brian Snyder / Reuters Unite the United States Trump can put aside the divisive rhetoric that has become his trademark and instead use the unique position he has found himself in to try to unite the United States, several commentators suggest. To the newspaper The Washington Examiner, Trump says that he is writing about the nomination speech after what happened at the weekend. If Trump manages to use this historic moment to tell Americans that there is more that unites them than divides them, he may be able to secure even more votes. And take even more points from Biden. For Biden’s Democrats, they go to the polls on the basis that Trump is a threat to democracy. Good news in line It looks very bright for Trump now, despite the fact that he could have been killed on Saturday: A new opinion poll taken before the shooting in Pennsylvania shows that Trump is almost tied with Joe Biden also in the state of Virginia, which the Democrat won by a whopping ten percentage points in 2020. Joe Biden traveled to Las Vegas on Monday. Photo: Tom Brenner / Reuters President Biden seems to have lost the trust of large parts of the Democratic electorate. And although the assassination of Trump put an end to the debate about the president’s election campaign, neither it nor the panic in the party is over. Trump is increasingly successful in his fight against the legal system. On Monday, the criminal charge against him in the so-called document case in Florida was rejected by the judge there. The case concerns classified documents that Trump did not return when he moved out of the White House, and is seen as the most serious of the four criminal cases in which he is charged. It now seems certain that he will not have to appear in new trials before the election in November. Although the decision from Florida may be changed. Youth source JD Vance JD Vance, who will be Trump’s vice-presidential candidate, also contributes a lot that can strengthen Trump’s chances of winning. The 39-year-old senator, who has both written a bestseller about growing up in poverty and achieved the American dream in business and politics, brings young energy to the Republican Party.

Many, at least in the media, are looking forward to the vice presidential debate between Vance and Kamala Harris. Worth noting if she remains a vice-presidential candidate. Vance is known for his highly divisive rhetoric, but Trump could use him to convince working-class voters in many of the swing states that they should vote Republican. That, too, is a big danger for Biden. With a 39-year-old vice presidential candidate by his side, Trump can also build the future of the Republican Party.

He has the sympathy of many, he has shown raw strength and has an intense political instinct. Many compare him to President Ronald Reagan who was shot in 1981 and received the sympathy of the entire country. Reagan became immensely popular after the assassination. Almost politically untouchable. How Trump appears at the national meeting can influence how this sympathy will develop. When he appeared on the national assembly stage for the first time on Monday evening, with a bandage over his right ear, there was nothing to say about the cheers. Trump stood with his family and with tears in his eyes as Lee Greenwood sang the song he always plays at his rallies, God Bless the USA. Trump has gained respect from new groups after what happened to him. Trump himself has said that he now has a chance to bring people closer together. And speak to the Americans about how God saved his life. Published 16.07.2024, at 06.43 Updated 16.07.2024, at 10.12
