Trump's courage and Biden may derail Harris
The Sunday Guardian
|September 22, 2024
She will lose if the impression continues to linger that a Harris Presidency would in effect be a second Biden term.
It is a fact that DonI ald Trump is admired by countless millions across the world, not just in the US. The former President's courage even during the most dangerous of circumstances was once again on display in the first assassination attempt against him, which narrowly failed to succeed in taking out the Republican challenger to the Democratic nominee for the US Presidency. Moments after being wounded by a bullet from the rifle of a would-be assassin, Trump got to his feet in the middle of a Secret Service protective cover, and undeterred and apparently unafraid, waved his fist in the air as a sign that he would not allow even an attempted assassination to deflect him from his quest to be the 47th President of the US. At least to those clueless about operational details of such protective coverage by what is admittedly a superb organisation, it appeared as though the Secret Service was less than prompt in its responses to the obvious threat of a man with a rifle perched on a ledge of a roof within striking range of the former President. Fortunately, its performance during the second attempt on Trump's life was swift, when an agent noticed a rifle peering from the bushes in the Trump Golf Course and fired a volley of bullets into it, scaring away the would-be assassin. Both the Secret Service as well as trhe police functioned smoothly, nabbing the perpetrator in minutes.
