Donald Trump Jr., the former president’s son, lambasted the Biden presidency and exalted Donald Trump’s resilience in the wake of Saturday’s assassination attempt.   The younger Trump also paid tribute to Corey Comperatore, the Trump supporter who was shot and killed at the fatal rally. “We did lose an American hero that day, we wish that he were with us tonight,” he said. “But his memory will live on forever in the hearts of his family, his community, and the nation that he loved.” “You can’t truly know how you’d respond in a moment of danger until you’re actually confronted with it. So what was my father’s instinct when his life was on the line?” asked Trump. “Not to cower, not to surrender, but to show for all the world to see that the next American president has the heart of a lion. That the next American president has the courage to put the American people first once again.” Donald Trump Jr on his father surviving an assassination attempt: “He stood back up. And when he did, my father raised his fist into the air, he looked out and what did he say?” Deafening chants of “Fight! Fight!” ring around the RNC Convention. pic.twitter.com/c0MfZ63p0E— The American Conservative (@amconmag) July 18, 2024 He concluded with a stark comparison: “It’s a choice between America last and America first.” Trump also invited his daughter, Kai, to give a brief speech about her grandfather. “The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is,” she said. “He’s very caring and loving, he truly wants the best for this country, and he will fight every single day to make America great again.” The post Don Jr. Highlights Father’s, America’s, Bravery in RNC Speech appeared first on The American Conservative.

Donald Trump promised an end to the long era of clandestine Deep State power that began with the assassination of JFK, an event that happened 60 years ago and is still shrouded in mystery. The July 13 attack on Trump’s life came very close to eliminating forever his opportunity to drain the swamp. The likenesses between the Kennedy assassination and the near-assassination of Trump are (to use the blandest word possible) interesting. A single shooter, placed in a perfect firing location that should have been secured by the Secret Service but, for some reason, wasn’t. A plethora of questions about what would appear to be an epic failure to safeguard the Kennedy motorcade as it wound its way through Dealey Plaza — and, 60 years later, similar questions about the apparent incompetence with which the Secret Service, FBI, and local police approached the job of securing the site of Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania, rally. Questions, indeed, about whether one or more organs of the Deep State had some role in the murder of the 35th president or in the attempt to extinguish the 45th. (The Spectacle Ep. 129: Donald Trump Was Nearly Assassinated. Was It Just Incompetence?) Thank heavens that whereas JFK’s head was blown to bits, the bullet shot by Trump’s would-be killer just grazed his ear, apparently because the intended victim happened to turn his head slightly at the last second. During the last few years, while he has been subjected to endless harassment by his political enemies in the form of a long list of absurd hoaxes, two baseless impeachments, and countless unfounded lawsuits, Trump has exhibited extraordinary personal strength. A mere fraction of what he has been put through would have broken all but the very strongest men. All others would have cut and run. Trump, a self-made billionaire who has more than earned the right to spend his later years relaxing, could easily have bowed out of politics after his presidential term was over and spent the rest of his life in the lap of luxury at his lavish personal properties, entertaining friends and enjoying the company of his family. But he held firm. Not out of the twisted lust for power that drives the leading figures in the Democratic Party — the Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens — but out of a sincere and passionate determination to save the country that he loves and the liberty of his fellow Americans, no matter what it might cost him. Through it all, he maintained his cheer, his bravado, his sense of humor, and his utterly natural common touch. Just a few days ago, a viral video showed him sitting in a golf cart with his son Barron, joshing amiably with golfers and, apparently, a caddy, whom he tipped with what was reportedly a C-note before going on his way. It has long since been clear that the man’s spirit is indomitable. Trump Is a Man of the Right Stuff But none of the previous evidence of his courage and character compared to his conduct in the moments after he was shot. In those moments, Trump proved himself to be a man among men — standing up on his own two feet, his face bloodied, and raising his fist in defiance, shouting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” even as members of his Secret Service detail tried to keep him from exposing himself to further assaults. Over and over, in this era of soy boys, pajama boys, and grown men who whine about microaggressions, Trump has proven himself to be the real thing — as Tom Wolfe would have put it, a man in full, a man with the right stuff. (READ MORE: Advice To Trump: Fire The Secret Service) But his instantaneous reaction to the attack of July 13 outdid it all, and then some. Even Churchill never had such a moment. There can be no further question but that this man is a born hero, a natural warrior, a lionheart, a mensch of the first water, and an American icon without peer. After all of the events that have embarrassed America internationally during the pathetic Biden years — from the disastrously botched Afghanistan withdrawal to the disquieting border crisis, from the thoroughly incompetent handling of the situations in Ukraine and Gaza to the repeated public displays of Biden’s own precipitous mental decline — Trump, on that fateful day in a town called Butler, etched for all time into the minds of the world an indelible image of valor and grit and guts that is on a par with the spectacles of Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, and the Iwo Jima memorial. The question is not whether he deserves to be elected again to the presidency. The question is what we Americans have done to deserve to have such a colossus in the Oval Office.

Just a few short days after a 20-year-old Pennsylvania man attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, and after Democratic political leaders and their media accomplices expressed “horror” at the attempted assassination, urged that the political rhetoric be toned down, and called for “unity,” they are right back at it — calling Trump a danger to democracy.  President Joe Biden led the way, telling NBC News that Trump is still a threat to democracy. Eric Levitz, writing in Vox, remarks that the attempted assassination should not cow Trump’s critics who rightly call him a threat to democracy. Meanwhile, at the Trump-deranged MSNBC, Joe Scarborough scolded his own network and threatened to quit Morning Joe after the network decided to pull his show on Monday. The Morning Joe show (and, for that matter, almost every MSNBC show) is infamous for its hosts and guests calling Trump a wannabe dictator, a fascist, a threat to democracy, and Hitler-like. The New Republic, which featured a cover with Trump as Hitler, says that after being shot at the Pennsylvania rally, “Trump is a bigger threat to American democracy than ever before.” David Farris, writing in Slate, says “Trump is still as dangerous as he has ever been.” The Left and the Democrats are doubling down on the “threat to democracy” rhetoric, as if that is all they have (other than abortion, which is the Democrats’ sacramental issue). As Brittany Bernstein writes in National Review, “[T]he president and his fellow Democrats have so far failed to take accountability for their own heated political rhetoric, which has frequently targeted Trump.” In an essay in City Journal, Heather Mac Donald admits to having felt “a sense of dread that Trump would be assassinated, in light of the nonstop, ubiquitous rhetoric against him.” Mac Donald believes that calls for toning down the ugly rhetoric “are unlikely to go far.” Many Democrats actually seem to believe that “Trump is the next coming of Hitler.” Trump occupied the office of president for four years, and there was nothing he did that was “fascist,” or dictatorial, or that “threatened democracy,” but the Democrats and their media allies have constructed a narrative that they cannot afford to abandon. That is why the rhetoric about Trump the would-be dictator and threat to democracy will continue, even if there are more assassination attempts. As Politico reports, “Rhetorical changes aside, the overall messaging will be the same: Despite the tragedy in Pennsylvania, democracy will still be on the ballot.” One Democratic official compared the assassination attempt to Jan. 6 and the attack on Paul Pelosi. Joe Trippi, a Democratic consultant, summarized the heart of Biden’s campaign: “The reality is Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, period.” Princeton University history professor Eddie Glaude urged Democrats to “continue to tell the truth about the danger [Trump] presents.” “The fact that there was an attempt on his life,” Glaude continued, “does not change the threat Trump poses to American democracy.” There will be no unity. The rhetoric comparing Trump to Hitler, and calling him a dictator and threat to democracy will continue, just as if the assassination attempt never happened. MSNBC hosts and guests wouldn’t know what to do if they didn’t have Trump to pummel with insults, and if they couldn’t warn their (few) viewers/listeners about the danger Trump poses to our democracy. With the polls showing Trump leading in most of the battleground states, and even threatening to upset Biden in Nevada and Virginia, in the wake of Biden’s miserable and, frankly, scary debate performance, characterizing Trump as a threat to democracy may be their only hope — assuming enough voters believe them.
