Donald Trump will now become president again

There is now a new defining image in the 2024 presidential election - a bloodied Donald Trump risng up with his fist pumped after the assassination attempt. The previous defining image of Trump, grim-looking, in the Manhattan courtoom at his trial on business fraud charges, will be cast to one side. Now it's Trump, the survivor, Trump the fighter, Trump, the man who will make the US even greater. Yes, the assasination attempt was shocking, not least the extraordinary fact that despite all the Secret Service and police and counter-attack combbat squads there to protect him at his rally, no one appears to have checked out the rooftop 200 yards away which provided the would-be assassin with a perfect vantage point for his Armelite sniper rifle. But Trump miraculously survived and by getting up and shouting "fight" to his adoring and shocked fans, before being swept away by his secret service detail, that image and cry will end all hope of Joe Bieden winning a second term in the White Office. The comparisons between the two men will now be even starker: the faltering, bumbling Biden, and the bold and bloodied Trump. It's a brutal fact but this sort of shocking incident will sweep Trump back into the Oval Office.
