Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media are intensifying, rather than taming, their criticism amid rising tensions following a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Democrats and the media have long argued that Trump is an “existential threat” who must be “removed” and “totally destroyed.”
Trump is “a destroyer of our democracy and must be removed,” said Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.). said 2023. “It's not enough to just defeat Trump,” Harris adviser David Plouffe said in 2016. “We have to destroy him. We can't allow someone like him to rise again.”
Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly said that Trump is “the greatest national security threat to the United States.” Claimed“There is one existential threat: Donald Trump,” President Joe Biden said. said“They're going to have to put a bullet in Donald Trump.” said Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project.
Authorities arrested Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, on Sunday on suspicion of plotting to assassinate Trump while he was golfing in South Florida. Routh appeared to be a Trump supporter in 2016 but became anti-Trump in 2020, posting in early 2024 that he would “enslave Americans again.” Routh reportedly had a Biden-Harris bumper sticker on his truck in front of his Hawaii home and donated to the Democratic fundraising machine.

On Monday, President Trump blamed the Biden-Harris administration for the second assassination attempt in just over two months. “He believed what Biden and Harris said and acted on it,” Trump told Fox News, commenting on the suspect. “They said and they did things that got me shot, but I'm in a position to save our country. They're destroying our country from the inside and out.”
“The media is made up of fools. [Democrats’] “They're spreading garbage, they're talking sick philosophies, they're trying to protect them at all costs, and I can't believe they're allowed to do that,” Trump continued. “The Democrats are totally protected by the media.”
