The detonation froze the world. First, the haggard crowd gathered at Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 13. Then the family of the Republican candidate for the American presidential election, his political opponents, from Joe Biden to Barack Obama, and heads of state from around the world. The bullet pierced the ear of the former president of the United States and, at the same time, disrupted an electoral campaign, already very tense four months before the end, on November 5.
The shooter, a 20-year-old man with no criminal record, was shot dead on the spot by the US Secret Service. A few hours after the assassination attempt, explosives were found in his car and at his home. Donald Trump narrowly escaped death. He was a close call by inches. The billionaire escaped with a simple ear injury… but even stronger than he was before he climbed onto Butler’s podium.
