The assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump could lead to even greater division in the country, writes historian and journalist Oliver Bateman in an article for UnHerd.
On 13 July, Donald Trump was assassinated during a rally in Pennsylvania. The politician was shot several times, after which he was taken from the stage with a bloody ear and hospitalised. After being treated, Trump was released from the hospital.
“We are ready for more division”, – noted Oliver Bateman.
The expert believes that the current head of the White House, Joe Biden, may use the attempted assassination of his rival in the interests of his election campaign.
Bateman noted that the time when the US united in the face of terrible events has already passed.
“In the end, Trump’s bleeding ear serves as a figurative representation of the wounded state of American politics,” he concluded.
Recall, earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin called Western ideas of a new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting their essence in the form of “hypocrisy, double standards and claims”.
