Former President Donald Trump made a startling claim during a recent debate, stating that he “probably took a bullet to the head” as a result of the rhetoric used by Vice President Kamala Harris and others. Trump was responding to Harris’ accusation that he would weaponize the Justice Department against his political enemies if reelected.
Trump’s comment was likely referencing the assassination attempt he survived earlier in the year, where he was injured in the ear and two others were wounded, and a local firefighter was killed. However, it’s important to note that there is no evidence to suggest that the assassination attempt was directly linked to political rhetoric.
Trump’s statement has sparked controversy, with some critics accusing him of using the incident for political gain. Others have expressed concern about the increasingly heated political climate and the potential consequences of inflammatory rhetoric.
