The attempted assassination boosted Trump’s candidacy but it also may have saved his political opponent. Before the attack, pressure was mounting on Biden to resign and the media was ‘flooding the zone’ with stories about his mental state. After the assassination, not only does the shooting dominate the national news, but Biden has become a leading beneficiary of the new civility.
The country is much less interested in hearing what it already knows about Biden’s mental state and the shift in focus boosts Biden’s core strategy of waiting out the efforts to sideline him.
The calls for unity, and for lowering the temperature of the rhetoric, are less likely to help Trump than to help Biden. The media will likely ‘circle back’ to resume its attack on Biden while there’s still time, but the break in the narrative may prove to be daunting. And if there is to be some sort of national unity moment (which I’m skeptical of) Biden will be a prime beneficiary.
Biden has always needed Trump and the assassination attempt may have been the one thing that could save his candidacy. (Note, I’m not suggesting anything here.) Biden has already tried the ‘hard’ Get Trump play, now he’s benefiting from the unity ploy. The longer it goes on, the more likely Biden is to make a virtual vote and then a convention. And once that happens, removing him will become even harder.
Very good point Daniel…does anyone put anything past Biden at this point, it was a very faied security detail .
You’re practically circling around the drain of conspiracy theories dude. This is the wackiest thing I’ve ever read by you. And you don’t usually write wacky things. That’s why I read you.
It’s OK if you have nothing to write about, we’ll wait until you do.
THX …
You have now lost whatever small credibility you may have had.
As they say … You must be educated beyond your intelligence.
He made a good point. Try to see.
I am trying. Can you explain?
First thing i told my wife after the assassination attemp was that Trump just won the election.
The second was that Biden’s replacement will now drop at least for a while from the news.
It’s okay if you have trouble reading. I’ll quote the relevant part for you. I know it’s not by Ayn Rand or Leonard Peikoff, but do try to pay attention.
:”(Note, I’m not suggesting anything here.)”
His article is just making an observation. This has already happened, the Biden needs to resign narrative has temporarily vanished.
The funny thing is you never have anything, except your whack philosophy, to write about.
Unfortunately, you constantly write when you have nothing to write about. Perhaps poor reading comprehension is root cause.
This is largely an opinion piece in which Mr. Greenfield expresses his thoughts based upon his reading of uncontroverted facts. What opinion do you think is conspiratorial or unreasonable? Your criticism might have weight if it both identified the flaw in Mr. Greenfield’s reasoning and posited a better, more rational alternative befitting one who claims to be governed by reason and objective truth.
Mr. Greenfield loses little should you cease to read him, THX. You have short forays into productive discourse, but the overwhelming substance of your interactions consists of long, tangential Randian quotes revealing intellectual slavery rather than productive discourse.
You obviously feel strongly about this article. Can you identify the problem so Mr. Greenfield and his readers might be enlightened? Do try, THX.
I watched a mashup video yesterday (that seemed to go on forever) showing dark Brandon call Trump everything from Hitler to a pox on humanity…and NOW he calls for civility in our national discourse?
It’s much like an arsonist declaring that no fire permits will be issued. While this will no doubt help Joe in the extremely short term, he still has a convention to get through while Obamaworld works on their side hustle…and he has to follow what is sure to be a momentous RNC convention.
The Internet is forever and I personally believe the call to ratchet down the rhetoric comes from a place of guilt on the part of Democrats. Trump might call people names, but they’re usually humorous and anecdotal. Saying Trump will end humanity as we know it isn’t…and causes psychos to pick up rifles. It’s almost like it was Crooks duty to do so.
🇺🇲 TRUMP ’24 🇺🇲
The Biden and democrat and RINO crocodile tears are flowing like Niagara Falls.
Don’t fall for it.
Remember all the incessant and vile and illegal attacks on Trump and his supporters since June 2015 …
The insidious Biden Obama Clintons Pelosi Schumer Coons and their ilk are now trying for the Unity Sob Story to brainwash everyone to support Biden and the depraved leftist democrats.
The memory of all the democrat vile insidious crimes committed against Trump and America and US citizens and working class and middle class US citizen patriots must never be forgotten.
For your edification here is a partial list of the Biden democrat crimes that must never be forgotten ….
The INVASION of American of 12 million illegal aliens from the Mexican border …
The murder by Mexico of more than 100,000 US citizens every year by Mexican manufactured fentanyl/drugs pushed across the Mexican border into America by Mexico …
The proven vast corruption of Biden and the Biden family with their influence peddling schemes that have directly harmed America and US citizens …
Biden’s stab American citizens in the back crime policies that release thousands of criminals and illegal aliens across America …
The Biden inflation creation policies that are destroying millions of US citizen working and middle class families …
The Biden social engineering policies of promoting and implementing DEI CRT LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ insanity …
The Biden policies of destroying girls and women’s sports by allowing Trans/males to compete against girls and women …
Biden and leftist democrats promoting and supporting anti-Semitic and anti-Israel depraved HAMAS and Palestinian/Islamic riots on college and school campuses …
The horrific Biden and democrat and RINO failed foreign war policies supporting Iran and corrupt Ukrainian provocations that are draining US military capabilities …
These and more vile anti-America and anti-US citizen Biden and leftist democrat policies are what must be remembered and fought against. and voted against.
President Trump needs to recite and repeat over and over these Biden and democrat crimes against America and US citizens.
Democrats don’t feel guilt. They’re just deflecting. It’s what they do when they’re being called out.
The last card for slimy joe has been played.
“when ya ain’t got nuthin’ ya got nothin’ to lose” B Dylan
I can’t imagine this, but I don’t know how the media thinks, You may be on to something, but like you, I’m skeptical of a national unity moment. The media is devious beyond understanding. Thank you Daniel Greenfield.
The left is not calling for unity or lowering of temperatures, they are blaming Trump for the assassination attempt on his own life. Not only are the blaming Trump, but Trump voters as well. They are desperate beyond measure for violence and will just keep ratcheting up the fear, mistrust, and anger until they get what they want. To them, it actually doesn’t matter if it comes from the left or the right, the narrative that Trump is responsible is already written. Unfortunately for them, everybody knows the game now.
You bet we now know the game.
Our country is now divided between Constitutionalists and Marxists (who also support the Islamists). Unlike Constitutionalists who have ethics and morals, the Marxists have none, only the goal of domination. Only one side can win.
A very concise statement of the situation of our country, Dr. Larry.
But true … so very true.
I really don’t think this is about Trump. It’s about a man, any man uniting American’s concerned about their nation being destroyed by the Left.
In 2016 I was a big Cruz supporter and then I saw a man who I never really admired at all start to take on the MSM and immediately I was converted.
Finally someone was attacking the head of the snake!.
You’re absolutely right on “the flooding the zone“ it was building towards the masterminds coming together to pull off a coup d’État within weeks.
Now it has been stalled and taking the impetus away from the puppet masters. Yes, Trump to the inadvertent rescue, I think this is a good thing to run against damage goods damaged by the left-wing media who got stuck in the middle of trying to remove him and now failed. they are now left with the remnants of a broken down zombie .
It was unimaginable just a Week ago When Biden challenged Trump to a game of golf.
Now we see one weak and frail person versus a man who rises from the mat in defiance with a clench fist and blood trickling down his face . Superman versus Lois Lane
Biden is as close to being a corpse as is physically possible
without actually being dead.
How America ever got a “president” like Biden is a disgrace.
What is truly incredible is that half the US population and electorate have become depraved psychopathic berserk, and just plain ignorant..
This is not a good sign for America’s future.
Yeah……but he can still order up a Deep State hit on Trump.
We really should do something about that.
I think ignorance describes the vast majority with the depraved causing the most noise.
Biden is akin to the kid who murdered his parents and at trial begs the court to have mercy on him because he is an orphan. How the man could sit in the Oval Office and with a straight face and lecture the country to tamp down the rhetoric is high drama chutzpah only a hypocrite could utter.
In order to “understand” Biden you have to first recognize that
he is a corrupt to the core bona fide psychopath.
“The calls for unity, and for lowering the temperature of the rhetoric, are less likely to help Trump than to help Biden.”
Very true, because Trump benefits from disunity and high-temperature rhetoric.
Political violence is unacceptable and unjustifiable under any circumstances. An assassination attempt against a political candidate of any persuasion is a disgrace.
90% of the hate and rhetoric come from the left.
Amazing. I guess Trump benefits from all of the high octane rhetoric that the left spews everyday. All of the calls for Trump’s assassination came from people on the left….people like you. It would be nice if you had condemned the actual attempt instead of that limp wristed “we condemn all violence” B.S.
I hope you realize that Trump is now going to win in a landslide.
So I say thank you to you, and leftists like you, for giving the shooter a pretext to fire that rifle.
Nothing can save biden except Lord Jesus Christ and biden publicly repents and pronounces his sins and treasonous crimes. Ain’t gonna happen! Do not think that after President Trump is sworn in January, 2025 that the demonic possessed deep state that unleashed the pLandemic and theft of 2020 election to put us in a global coup d’etat targeting USA first, as USA goes so goes the world won’t unleash the worst crimes against humanity as did the demonic nazzis and hamazz, hellbullshita – it’s going to get ugly then the antichrist comes then it gets real ugly then Lord Jesus Christ comes – what is the exact time line? I dunno, I do know that we are in it!
The leftist democrat Biden agenda for America …. according to Victor Davis Hanson … Quote …
“…. the true leftist agenda will be served raw to the American people—open borders, woke/DEI racial polarization,
transgendered obsessions, inflation/stagflation, wars a plenty abroad, an inert Pentagon, unaffordable energy,
partial-birth abortions, and crazy ideas like packing the court and making Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, states. ”
” The Democrats have no plans to run on their record. Their tripartite strategy is as simple as it is tired and worn.
First, expect a third chapter to follow the 2016 Russian collusion caper and the 2020 laptop disinformation ruse—likely some October revelation from the administrative state’s “experts” and “authorities” that Trump is a criminal, a traitor, or a spy or plans a coup, to destroy NATO or nuke something. Perhaps there is another Access Hollywood tape, a porn star on ice, anything to avoid discussing the damage done since 2017.
Second, there is still a last gasp to a dying lawfare. Never underestimate the last-gasp judicial effort to inactivate, gag, bankrupt, or jail Trump, however counterproductive such attempts so far have proved.
Third, when all else fails, remember that in many of the swing states, 70 percent of the electorate will not be voting on Election Day and will not be presenting IDs. Millions of their ballots will be harvested or cured by third-party activists. Last time around, the leftist journalist Molly Ball bragged about their “cabal” and “conspiracy” of big money and big tech that had “saved” Americans from Trump. “
That’s wonderful news, I hope the dems are stuck with joe.
Maybe a little off topic.
I wonder how many other times they have left a roof or whatever unguarded for a maniac to take a shot?
This could have been going on for quite a while and they finally got a taker, but ALAS! he was a bad shot.
I see the point but unity from the Hitler obsessed Democrats doesn’t begin to ring true to most of us. The attempt to murder Trump is far more memorable and importantly it is a visual memory. The stink of trying to assassinate Trump clings to Biden and his friends on the left and not to Republicans or MAGA. Many note that in response we haven’t burned any cities down, rioted, or taken a pop at a Democrat. Ive just heard Trump is changing is convention speech to a unity theme! Thats just brilliant.
After law fare, hoaxes lies and smears and now taking a bullet and responding triumphantly, what does this injured warrior do? He makes a convention speech calling for unity. Trump is the guy who got shot. His unity speech really matters. Biden’s- not so much.
As long as Biden continues to try to kill Trump…………DEMS don’t care how senile, perverted or corrupt he is.
Killing Trump(and later his supporters) is all DEMS want.
Yeah……….we’re really gonna have a “free and fair” election in Nov.
From what I heard, the reason Trump turned his head was to look at a placard showing a graphic of the numbers of illegals the Biden regime have let flood into the US. So it could be said that Trump was saved by Biden’s policy on illegals. But then God’s ways are His own sovereign choice. This oft quoted line from Romans 8:28 says it all: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Perhaps, in this regard, Biden is like the Pharaoh of Romans 9:17.
Who in the world is exited or inspired about an 82 year old man who has dimentia and hasn’t been running anything????? We really have a society that leaves alot to be desired. The liberal progressives are a stark difference to the MAGA party of hope, prosperity, peace, security, and patriotism.
