Social media has since been abuzz with netizens commenting on the apparent assassination attempt on Trump and comparing it with what Trump himself and other US presidents have done for years.

Many have also pointed to the US-backed genocidal war on Gaza, given that the attack on Trump came barely hours after the latest massacre in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis city.

Dan Dohen, a journalist and filmmaker, in a post on X, formerly Twitter, reminded people of what Trump did as the American president, including ordering the assassination of Iran’s top anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani in January 2020.

This is western racism exposed for all the world to see.

    What then, is the border policy of the EU if not “political violence.” What then, is the policy of the EU vis a vis pro-Palestinian voices if not “political violence.” What then, is the belligerent escalation of violence of the EU via a vis Russia if not “political violence”?

    And what position does an unelected supranational executive official have anything to do with democracy?

    I saw a comment earlier today, that said the very best thing we can do is be bored already about the news.

    The more energy we waste on the human pile of orange peels the more attention the fascist idiot gets.
