On July 13th, 2024 an assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump occurred; killing and injuring bystanders present at the Trump rally. Moreover, the sitting president Joe Biden refused to acknowledge what was clear: that this was no ordinary shooting; an assassination attempt had occurred. The American public remains in disbelief that our nation has come to this. To stand as a representative of this Constitutional Republic in contemporary America, the campaigning politician must be willing to put their lives on the line for the nation. Trump has proven to the American people—and the Establishment—that he is willing to stand for the American people, no matter the consequences. Instead, American citizens must work to bridge the divide wedged between partisanships; radicalized by the bureaucratic establishment.
