A divided country reacts

The responses to Humphrey’s post give a good idea of just how deep the political rifts are in the USA. While many users agree with the NFL star, there is plenty of criticism from the Democratic camp.

None of the responses shown below are reliable sources and should therefore be viewed critically. Details and background information on the assassination will be presented in the course of the investigation by the relevant authorities.

For example, this “X” user implied with his post that Trump must have had a heavenly protector

Many users are also glad that nothing worse has happened to the ex-president. “The country finally realizes. Trump is a real one.”

Republican supporters are celebrating Trump, who, as the victim of a political attack, is now certain to gain votes. For them, the assassination has significantly increased the likelihood of Trump becoming president in 2024

However, various users doubt what happened. The theory is circulating that the assassination could have been faked to win over voters.

There is also a rumor that the shooter is a supporter and member of the Republican Party.
