Many Americans will never forget what they saw and heard on July 13, 2024, when a deranged gunman attempted to assassinate Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as he spoke during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
As I mentioned before, the images were some of the most iconic America will ever see. The bullet that hit Trump flew through the air. A bloodied Trump, defiantly pumping his fist into the crowd and not saying a word except “fight, fight, fight” because the meaning of his expression is crystal clear:
“I’m still here. “I’m alive and I’m not going anywhere,” it said.
It was an incredibly powerful moment, made even more powerful when it was revealed about two months later that another assassin was prepared to shoot the former president until the Secret Service intervened.

While we all marveled at Trump’s appearance on the first day of the Republican National Convention, two days after the first assassination attempt, the liberal media scoffed, and some wondered aloud whether the bandage Trump had on his ear was what it was grazed by the bullet was necessary.
MSNBC host Ari Melber, for example, pointed to a New York Times article on the subject and said he agreed with them that the “prop” bandage was ultimately a… calculated part of the “spectacle” that Trump was supposedly trying to present.
As it turns out, the Times is still mocking how Trump moved on after the two attempts on his life, as evidenced by an incredible piece of pseudojournalism that asked the question after Trump’s highly publicized appearance at the Georgia convention on Saturday. Alabama game:
“If we can’t take him out, why isn’t Trump going into hiding?!?!”

The implication here is that either Trump, after two assassinations, is lying and claiming he is in danger, or he is in danger and the response must be to abandon his campaign a month before the election pic.twitter.com/s0pm7AonvV

The article itself was even more unwanted wittywith the Times rounding up a handful of maintenance workers and anti-Trump college football fans at the game to criticize him for his presence.
Frankly, I can’t think of a much better ad for the Trump campaign than this one, pointing out how members of the corporate media held argument sessions about his unwillingness to go into hiding after both attempts to take him out.
In a sense, the Times told us it was out of touch with the American electorate without saying so verbatim. I mean, we’re at a point in our history where, after almost four years of Joe Biden, people are yearning for real leadership and someone who’s willing to stand up, stand up for their country and stand up to the woke to defend ourselves.
Maybe I just answered my own question. They wrote this precisely because they know that’s what a lot of people see when they look at Trump, and oh no, we can’t have that.
But we did it and we can do it again depending on the result in November.
